Guided waves, elastic waves propagating through bounded structures, play a pivotal role in
various applications, including ultrasonic non-destructive testing and structural health …

This paper develops a novel type of two-dimensional (2D) locally resonant (LR)
metamaterials with quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) property both in the horizontal and vertical …

Elastic metamaterials are of growing interest due to their unique effective properties and
wave manipulation abilities. Unlike phononic crystals based on the Bragg scattering …

One of the significant engineering applications of the elastic metamaterial (EMM) is for low-
frequency vibration attenuation because of its unusual low-frequency bandgap behavior …

Metamaterials are man-made designer matter that obtains its unusual effective properties by
structure rather than chemistry. Building upon the success of electromagnetic and acoustic …

Propagation of elastic waves in acoustic metamaterials based on locally resonant
viscoelastic phononic crystals is discussed. A variational formulation of the complex band …

In this work, a novel Fourier series expansion is proposed for representing periodic three-
dimensional metamaterials consisting of spherical inclusions in a cubic lattice, which allows …

We propose a new type of concrete for the attenuation of elastic waves induced by dynamic
excitation. In this metamaterial, which we call metaconcrete, the stone, sand, and gravel …

In this paper, novel two-dimensional single-phase three-ligament, four-ligament and six-
ligament chiral structure models are proposed. The advantage is that it is easy to …

The theory of elastodynamic homogenization initiated by JR Willis is revisited for periodically
inhomogeneous media through a careful scrutiny of the main aspects of that theory in the 3D …
