Nanoscale spacecrafts have shed light on an audacious but promising vision for interstellar
travel to neighboring planets beyond the solar system. The nanocrafts can be accelerated to …

In this study, we design the 3D-printed phononic crystal (PnC) beam with the topological
interface state for harvesting the mechanical energy of flexural waves. The PnC beam is …

In this paper, we design the elastic metamaterial cavities with multiple cavity modes for
harvesting the flexural wave energy. The metamaterial plate is formed by drilling periodic …

Extraordinary phenomenon (eg, band gap) exhibited by a phononic crystal (PnC) has
recently been incorporated into piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) as a means to amplify …

Thin-walled cylindrical shells are widely used in industries, such as the main parts of
aircrafts, rockets, and submarines. Except for meeting the load-bearing capacities, such …

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the interest of associating smart functionalities in the
same smart-structure. It consists in combining a wave trap device with an energy harvester …

Smart structures are light structures with integrated sensing and actuating capabilities (smart
materials). In this paper, the use of such smart materials for active vibration control is …

The one-way energy insulation using time-space modulated structures is theoretically
studied in this paper. Specifically, the time-space modulated structure in our studies …
