Elastic three-dimensional metaframe for selective wave filtering and polarization control

Classical Physics 2024-06-19 v2

Abstract

We experimentally achieve selective wave filtering and polarization control in a three-dimensional elastic frame embedding local resonators. By connecting multi-resonating elements to a frame structure, a complete low-frequency, subwavelength bandgap with strong selective filtering properties is obtained. Theory and experiments demonstrate the metaframe capability to selectively stop transverse waves while allowing longitudinal wave propagation, as in 'fluid-like' elasticity. This peculiar behaviour, together with the complete bandgap structure, may open opportunities in the context of wave control, envisaging concurrent applications for three-dimensional filters and elastic wave polarizers.
