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

The energy of ground-born vibration is transported mostly by surface waves. Therefore,
engineered structures which absorb externally applied energy and improve structural …

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 …

Thermally tunable elastic wave transport with controllable topological properties in a thin
plate is investigated. For the prior plate-type phononic crystals designed with passive …

Light-weight and high-stiffness honeycomb sandwich plates are widely used in high-speed
vehicles. Suppressing their low-frequency and broadband vibration is significant for …

This work presents the active control effects on a piezoelectric phononic crystal beam resting
on elastic foundation. The bending of passive periodic beams that rest on elastic foundation …

Determining strong robustness in flexural wave propagation in beam systems has always
been a promising achievement with various real-life applications such as energy harvesting …

This work studies the properties of compression solitary waves propagating through one-
dimensional mass–spring lattices, whose unit cells show an interaction law mimicking that of …

A novel tunable nonlinear metastructure with periodically distributed bi-linear oscillators
(BLOs) is proposed for broadband vibration suppression. The BLO with non-smooth …
