In solid state physics, a bandgap (BG) refers to a range of energies where no electronic
states can exist. This concept was extended to classical waves, spawning the entire fields of …

Dielectric elastomers (DEs) are a type of multifunctional materials with salient features that
are very attractive in developing soft, lightweight, and small-scale transducers and robotics …

With the continuous improvement of the demand level for advanced equipment, the trend of
material structure integration and design and manufacturing integration is strengthening …

In this paper, we present a theoretical model for the analysis of large magneto-deformation
and the anti-plane shear wave bandgaps in 2D periodic two-phase hard magnetic soft …

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 …

There is inevitably a conflict between multiple objectives when designing elastic metaplates
(EMPs) with desirable functionalities from the perspective of practical applications. The non …

Active tuning of elastic wave band gaps received significant attention in the recent past. To
this end, soft dielectric elastomers (DEs) have indicated great promise owing to their …

Topology optimization is used to design phononic bandgap materials that are tunable by
mechanical deformation. A periodic media is considered, which due to the assumption of …

The properties of bandgaps (BGs) for manipulating elastic/acoustic waves are highly
determined by the spatial distribution of materials in the primitive unit cell. In this work, the …
