Topological edge states in quasiperiodic locally resonant metastructures

Y Xia, A Erturk, M Ruzzene - Physical Review Applied, 2020 - APS
We investigate the dynamic behavior and topology of quasiperiodic resonant
metastructures. We show that the quasiperiodic arrangement of resonators introduces …

Topological bands and localized vibration modes in quasiperiodic beams

RK Pal, MIN Rosa, M Ruzzene - New Journal of Physics, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate a family of quasiperiodic continuous elastic beams, the topological properties
of their vibrational spectra, and their relation to the existence of localized modes. We …

Negative refraction in quasicrystalline multilayered metamaterials

L Morini, Y Eyzat, M Gei - Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, 2019 - Elsevier
Inspired by some recent results in elastodynamics of layered composites, we address here
the problem of an antiplane elastic wave obliquely incident at the interface between a …

Adiabatic pumping via avoided crossings in stiffness-modulated quasiperiodic beams

E Riva, V Casieri, F Resta, F Braghin - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
In this paper we report on adiabatic pumping in quasiperiodic stiffness-modulated beams.
We show that distinct topological states populating nontrivial gaps can nucleate avoided …

[HTML][HTML] Symmetry-induced quasicrystalline waveguides

B Davies, RV Craster - Wave Motion, 2022 - Elsevier
Introducing an axis of reflection symmetry in a quasicrystal leads to the creation of localised
edge modes that can be used to build waveguides. We develop theory that characterises …

Phononic canonical quasicrystalline waveguides

M Gei, Z Chen, F Bosi, L Morini - Applied Physics Letters, 2020 - pubs.aip.org
The dynamic behavior of the class of periodic waveguides whose unit cells are generated
through a quasicrystalline sequence can be interpreted geometrically in terms of a trace …

Super band gaps and periodic approximants of generalised Fibonacci tilings

B Davies, L Morini - Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 2024 - royalsocietypublishing.org
We present mathematical theory for self-similarity induced spectral gaps in the spectra of
systems generated by generalised Fibonacci tilings. Our results characterise super band …

Dynamic continualization of mechanical metamaterials with quasi-periodic microstructure

R Del Toro, ML De Bellis… - Philosophical …, 2024 - royalsocietypublishing.org
This article focuses on characterizing a class of quasi-periodic metamaterials created
through the repeated arrangement of an elementary cell in a fixed direction. The elementary …

Control of elastic shear waves by periodic geometric transformation: cloaking, high reflectivity and anomalous resonances

B Meirbekova, M Brun - Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, 2020 - Elsevier
A doubly periodic geometric transformation is applied to the problem of out of plane shear
wave propagation in a doubly periodic perforated elastic medium. The technique leads to …

Evaluation of neutron radiation damage in zircaloy fuel clad of nuclear power plants: a study based on PKA and dpa calculations

O Noori-Kalkhoran, M Gei - Progress in Nuclear Energy, 2020 - Elsevier
During the lifetime of nuclear power plants, irradiation and mechanical interactions can
cause permanent damage to their structural materials. In nuclear reactors, one of the most …
