This broad review summarizes recent advances and “hot” research topics in nanophononics
and elastic, acoustic, and mechanical metamaterials based on results presented by the …

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 …

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 …

This paper first suggests a composite structure with periodic additive acoustic black holes
(ABH) to absorb vibrations from plates. Different from conventional embedded ABHs, this …

In this paper, we suggest a metabeam having periodically distributed integrated acoustic
black holes (IABHs). Compared to conventional embedded ABHs, the thickness of the base …

Artificial structures known as phononic crystals and acoustic metamaterials can be designed
by spatially arranging one or more materials to obtain desired wave manipulation …

How to endow diverse functions for lightweight structures without increasing mass has
always been a major challenge (eg, to have simultaneous high static stiffness and extreme …

Insect wings are formed by intricate combinations of flexible membranes and rigid veins;
such a structure enables excellent flight performance, adaptability to aerodynamic forces …

In recent years, there has been a notable increase in the significance of active mechanical
metamaterials capable of being remotely manipulated through changes in external stimuli …

The acoustic metamaterial is a class of artificial structures designed to transmit, prohibit, or
trap and amplify vibration waves at certain frequencies by periodically manipulating the …
