Phononic crystals (PCs) and metamaterials (MMs) can exhibit abnormal properties, even far
beyond those found in nature, through artificial design of the topology or ordered structure of …

By employing periodic electrical boundary conditions, an innovative method to generate
actively tunable topologically protected interface mode in a “homogeneous” piezoelectric …

Hard-magnetic soft materials belong to the class of active materials that undergo finite
deformation and alter their material properties when subjected to magnetic loading …

Active tuning of frequency bandgaps has received significant attention in the recent past. To
this end, soft compressible phononic composites have indicated great promise owing to their …

Ultrasonic feature guided waves (FGW) have been found to exist in a variety of topographic
waveguides, such as welds, bends and stiffeners in plate-like structures. These FGWs are …

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

We study the magneto-mechanical behavior of periodic laminates made of hard-magnetic
active elastomers (HMAEs). We formulate the amended free-energy function for HMAEs, and …

This paper presents an electromechanical analysis of the nonlinear static response and the
superimposed small-amplitude wave characteristics in an infinite periodic compressible …

In this paper, we study the interplay between macroscopic and microscopic instabilities in
3D periodic fiber reinforced composites undergoing large deformations. We employ the …

A comparative study of Love-type wave vibrations in a distinct piezoelectric (PE) material
thin film with a highly and weakly dielectric interface with an elastic pre-stressed elastic plate …
