The study of phononic materials and structures is an emerging discipline that lies at the
crossroads of vibration and acoustics engineering and condensed matter physics. Broadly …

Locally resonant metamaterials are characterized by bandgaps at wavelengths that are
much larger than the lattice size, enabling low-frequency vibration attenuation. Typically …

This paper is concerned with flexural wave propagation and vibration transmission in beams
with periodically attached vibration absorbers. Such periodic systems feature unique wave …

Band gaps appear in the frequency spectra of periodic materials and structures. In this work
we examine flexural wave propagation in beams and investigate the effects of the various …

Wave propagation and vibration transmission in metamaterial-based elastic rods containing
periodically attached multi-degree-of-freedom spring–mass resonators are investigated. A …

We investigate wave motion in a continuous elastic rod with a periodically attached inertial-
amplification mechanism. The mechanism has properties similar to an “inerter” typically …

In this paper, we present a design of locally resonant (LR) beams using periodic arrays of
beam-like resonators (or beam-like vibration absorbers) attached to a thin homogeneous …

In this paper, we analyze the propagation of elastic waves of small amplitudes in
reconfigurable architected materials formed by a one-dimensional chain of bistable unit …

The classical distinction between a structure and a material is increasingly blurred in lattice
materials made from beam and shell‐like structures. This chapter is concerned with the …

We study wave dispersion in a one-dimensional nonlinear elastic metamaterial consisting of
a thin rod with periodically attached local resonators. Our model is based on an exact finite …
