Metamaterials (MMs) are composites that are artificially engineered to have unconventional
mechanical properties that stem from their microstructural geometry rather than from their …

This study proposes a theoretical model of a vibro-acoustic metamaterial for longitudinal
vibration suppression in a low frequency range and computationally and experimentally …

Metamaterials have been the subject of significant interest over the past decade due to their
ability to produce novel acoustic behaviour beyond that seen in naturally occurring media …

The membrane type acoustic metamaterials have been recently proposed and described in
our research team. The present paper presents the experimental results of the vibration …

This study proposes EMMs made of molded pulp and steel composite structures; molded
pulp can be used to manufacture periodic shapes with low cost and environmental burden …

Structural vibration induced by low frequency elastic waves presents a great threat to
infrastructure such as buildings, bridges, and nuclear structures. In order to reduce the …

This study proposes a viscoelastic metamaterial containing negative-stiffness elements,
which exhibits both a damping enhancement effect and a tunable ultra-low frequency band …

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

Sandwich structures are widely used in the fields of aerospace, automobile as well as ship
and offshore structures because of their excellent mechanical performances such as …

This study proposes the use of a linear and geometrically nonlinear inerter-based resonator
in locally resonant acoustic metamaterials (LRAMs) and evaluates the performance on low …
