The mechanical response of naturally abundant amorphous solids such as gels, jammed grains, and biological tissues are not described by the conventional paradigm of broken symmetry that defines crystalline elasticity. In contrast, the…
This paper investigates the dynamics of compact localized modes in one-dimensional flat-band elastic lattices. Flat dispersion arises from destructive interference between neighboring elements, resulting in a zero group velocity across all…
We study the propagation of in-plane elastic waves in a soft thin strip; a specific geometrical and mechanical hybrid framework which we expect to exhibit Dirac-like cone. We separate the low frequencies guided modes (typically 100 Hz for a…
