Topological phononic crystals have attracted intensive attention due to their peculiar
topologically protected interface or edge states. Their operating frequency, however, is …

Phononic crystals and elastic metamaterials have recently received significant attention due
to their potential for unconventional wave control. Despite this interest, one outstanding …

In this paper, we investigate the post-buckling development of instability-induced patterns in
soft particulate composites. Upon reaching the critical strain level, the composite …

This Letter discusses elastic metamaterials incorporating curved beams in their architecture.
Through employing Bezier splines, we reveal a wide versatility of geometrical designs of the …

In this paper, we investigated elastic instabilities in soft particulate composites under finite

We study the buckling of soft 3D-fiber composites (FCs) with varying in-plane microstructure
periodicity. Through our experiments and simulations, we find that the out-of-plane buckling …

In this paper, we study the elastic instability and wave propagation in compressible layered

We propose a design strategy for hybrid metamaterials with alternating phononic plates and
pentamode units that produce complete bandgaps for elastic waves. The wave control relies …

Abstract (Meta-) materials with granular microstructures exhibit nonlinear dispersive wave
propagation, which is typically attributed to the presence of a microstructure. However, this …
