In this paper, the physics of horizontally polarized shear waves traveling across a locally
resonant metasurface in an unconsolidated granular medium is experimentally and …

In this work, we experimentally and numerically investigate the propagation and attenuation
of vertically polarized surface waves in an unconsolidated granular medium equipped with …

We investigate the interaction of guided surface acoustic modes (GSAMs) in unconsolidated
granular media with a metasurface, consisting of an array of vertical oscillators. We …

To protect engineering structures from being destroyed by earthquakes, seismic
metamaterials have been proposed for Rayleigh wave attenuation. Introducing nonlinearity …

The design of metamaterials for surface waves control is an emerging field of research
which can impact several technical applications, from electronic devices based on surface …

Resonant metamaterials have been proposed to reflect or redirect elastic waves at different
length scales, ranging from thermal vibrations to seismic excitation. However, for seismic …

Seismic surface wave mitigation using metamaterials is a growing research field propelled
by intrinsic theoretical value and possible application prospects. Up to date, the complexity …

This study aims to theoretically and numerically investigate the dispersion relations of
Rayleigh waves propagating through vertical oscillators periodically distributed on stratified …

Seismic metamaterials have received extensive research interest due to their bandgap
properties, simplicity in design principles, and stability in response. They have been …

We consider the canonical problem of an array of rods, which act as resonators, placed on
an elastic substrate; the substrate being either a thin elastic plate or an elastic half-space. In …
