This paper proposes the design of an active nonlinear metamaterial for broadband and
tunable low-frequency wave attenuation governed by a lever-based nonlinear amplification …

Auxetic materials with negative Poisson's ratio (PR) exhibit superior mechanical properties
with regard to energy absorption, while their potential for surface wave shielding is only in its …

Hierarchy provides unique opportunities for the design of advanced materials with superior
properties that arise from architecture, rather than from constitutive material response …

In recent years, the innovative design of metamaterials and the study of bandgap
characteristics have become the focus of research. The flexible setting of small added mass …

This paper aims to investigate the propagation of low-frequency seismic surface waves in
periodic in-filled barriers from the viewpoint of bandgaps. Based on Bloch-Flouquet theory …

The utilization of sandwich plate structures is widespread across diverse engineering fields
owing to their advantageous high stiffness-to-weight ratio properties. However, these …

Realizing a low-frequency and broad bandgap is extremely challenging because the lattice
constant, equivalent stiffness, and equivalent density must be taken into account in practice …

The aim of this study is to investigate the wave propagation characteristics of one-
dimensional inertial amplification (IA) metamaterials with double resonators. The IA Angle is …

The modern construction revolution throughout the past two decades has brought the need
for ground vibration mitigation, and this has been one of the major study areas. These …

The design concept of integrating locally resonant metamaterials with sandwich plates has
demonstrated promising prospects in the development of lightweight, load-bearing …
