This investigation proposes a novel elastic metasurface tailored to convert a longitudinal
wave into a transverse wave and vice versa at an arbitrary refraction angle with full (100%) …

Elastic waves involving mechanical particle motions of solid media can couple volumetric
and shear deformations, making their manipulation more difficult than electromagnetic …

Piezoelectric energy harvesting of mechanical waves exhibits great potential applications in
electricity generation for low-powered electronic devices. In this work, the metasurface …

We report a novel resonance phenomenon called the mode-entangled resonance. It can
occur at a specific frequency in a plate carrying both symmetric and antisymmetric Lamb …

Key requirements to boost the applicability of Ultrasonic systems for in-situ, real-time
operations are low hardware complexity and low power consumption. These features are …

Elastic metamaterials are man-made structures with properties that transcend naturally
occurring materials. One predominant feature of elastic metamaterials is locally resonant …

This study illustrates the successful achievement of tunable defect bands in one-
dimensional defective phononic crystals (PnCs) through the incorporation of piezoelectric …

Strength and band gap are the two basic physical features of the cubic metamaterial. How to
design band gap characteristics with high strength of structure is the key for the further …

The lowest-order shear horizontal (SH 0) guided wave in a plate is crucial for nondestructive
testing and structural health monitoring due to its nondispersive nature. However, mode …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) chiral structures are a subset of mechanical metamaterials
known for their distinctive deformation characteristics, including the presence of auxetic and …
