Phononic materials are periodically arranged building blocks in the form of material
properties, geometries, and/or boundary conditions. This synthetic architecture makes …

The study of granular crystals, which are nonlinear metamaterials that consist of closely
packed arrays of particles that interact elastically, is a vibrant area of research that combines …

Phononic crystals (PnCs) and acoustic metamaterials (AMMs) are artificially architected
materials endowed with the capabilities of wave manipulation. This review specifically …

This paper focuses on the dispersion properties and mechanism of the one-dimensional
strongly nonlinear acoustic metamaterials (NAMMs) based on the homotopy method. The …

Acoustic/elastic metamaterials exhibit a wealth of unusual properties conducive to wave
manipulation. This review outlines state-of-the-art developments from FPUT chains, granular …

In the present work we test experimentally and compute numerically the stability and
dynamics of harmonically driven monoatomic granular chains composed of an increasing …

We study experimentally, numerically, and theoretically the dynamics of a one dimensional
array of repelling magnets. We demonstrate that such systems support solitary waves with a …

By applying an out-of-phase actuation at the boundaries of a uniform chain of granular
particles, we demonstrate experimentally that time-periodic and spatially localized structures …

We conduct an extensive study of nonlinear localized modes (NLMs), which are temporally
periodic and spatially localized structures, in a two-dimensional array of repelling magnets …

We study a magnetogranular chain composed of stainless-steel beads which are placed
inside an appropriately designed periodic magnetic field. The latter provides attractive forces …
