Mechanical metamaterials, also known as architected materials, are rationally designed
composites, aiming at elastic behaviors and effective mechanical properties beyond ('meta') …

We propose a class of linear elastic three-dimensional metamaterials for which the effective
parameters bulk modulus and mass density can be adjusted independently over a large …

Spatial coordinate transformations can be used to transform boundaries, material
parameters or discrete lattices. We discuss fundamental constraints in regard to cloaking …

Owing to the architected void-filled low-density configurations, metamaterials are prone to
defects during the complex manufacturing process, or damages under operational …

In this paper, we propose an approach for describing wave propagation in finite-size
microstructured metamaterials using a reduced relaxed micromorphic model. This method …

We consider the problem of how to cloak objects from antiplane elastic waves using two
alternative techniques. The first is the use of a layered metamaterial in the spirit of the work …

Using a sum rule, we derive new bounds on Herglotz functions that generalize those given
in Bernland et al.[J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 44 (14), 145205 (2011)] and Gustafsson and …

We present a new method to create an active cloak for a single clamped inclusion in a
Kirchhoff plate in the presence of flexural waves. In order to cloak this inclusion, we place …

Exploring the dynamical response of mechanical metamaterials has gathered increasing
attention in the last decades, enabling the design of microstructures exotically interacting …

Active noise cloaking of rigid and elastic 2D cylindrical shells in an infinite acoustic medium
is presented. The control approach utilises control sources or forces and discrete error …
