A new class of solitary waves arises in the solution of nonlinear wave equations with constant impedance and no dispersive terms. They depend on a balance between nonlinearity and a dispersion-like effect due to spatial variation in the…

Unidirectional and backscattering-free propagation of sound waves is of fundamental interest in physics, and highly sought-after in engineering. Current strategies utilize topologically protected chiral edge modes in bandgaps, or complex…

Elastic metamaterials may exhibit band gaps at wavelengths far exceeding feature sizes. This is attributed to local resonances of embedded or branching substructures. In branched configurations, such as a pillared plate, waves propagating…
