Seismic Love waves are horizontally polarized surface waves propagating within an
overlying layer, which have been shown to pose potential hazards to infrastructures. In this …

In this article, we present a design methodology for resonant structures exhibiting particular
dynamic responses by combining an eigenfrequency matching approach and a harmonic …

Seismic metabarriers consist of an array of locally resonant elements (ie, mechanical
resonators) installed over the soil surface, whose design is rationally engineered to reduce …

The advent of elastic metamaterials at the beginning of the 21st century opened new venues
and possibilities for the existence of new types of elastic (ultrasonic) surface waves, which …

When dynamic load is applied on a granular assembly, the time-dependent dynamic load
and initial static load (such as gravity stress) act together on individual particles. In order to …

Exceptional properties of emerging of unconventional metamaterials including
phononic/sonic crystals such as bandgap frequency have made them pertinent in various …

This paper investigates how the soil profile affects the vibration mitigation performance of
seismic metamaterials in a wide frequency band (1–80 Hz). A 3D coupled finite element …

We show that shear waves traveling toward the surface of a half-space medium can be
attenuated via buried one-dimensional arrays of resonators—here called metapiles …

The advent of elastic metamaterials at the beginning of the 21st century opened new venues
and possibilities of existence for new types of acoustic (ultrasonic) waves, which were …
