Quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) isolators have demonstrated appropriate low-frequency vibration
isolation performance without sacrificing the load-bearing capacity. The current …

In this work we first propose a wave and Rayleigh–Ritz method (WRRM) to analyze the
vibrations of periodic systems. It is well-known that one of the main difficulties of the …

Elastic metamaterial is a type of artificial composite material/structure with unique
subwavelength physics property, which shows attractive potential application in low …

To achieve wave attenuation at ultra-low frequencies, a novel metamaterial plate with
attached compliant quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) resonators is proposed. Firstly, the compliant …

Piezoelectric energy harvesting has attracted tremendous interest for designing sustainable
self-powered devices/systems targeted to special environment such as wireless or wearable …

There is inevitably a conflict between multiple objectives when designing elastic metaplates
(EMPs) with desirable functionalities from the perspective of practical applications. The non …

The suppression of low-frequency torsional vibration has always been a difficult problem in
the field of vibration control. Recently, metamaterials have attracted considerable attention …

Elastic wave propagation characteristics of elastic metamaterial plates embedded scatterer
with various lattices are explored numerically and experimentally in this study, for the …

There is increasing concern that the locally resonant phononic crystals (LRPCs) are used to
reduce low-frequency noise and vibration in ship and ocean engineering. In this work, the …

The properties of bandgaps (BGs) for manipulating elastic/acoustic waves are highly
determined by the spatial distribution of materials in the primitive unit cell. In this work, the …
