Slow sound is a frequently exploited phenomenon that metamaterials can induce in order to permit wave energy compression, redirection, imaging, sound absorption and other special functionalities. Generally however such slow sound structures…

Based on the Huygens-Fresnel principle, a metasurface structure is designed to generate a sound vortex beam in airborne environment. The metasurface is constructed by a thin planar plate perforated with a circular array of deep…

We simulate the response of acoustic seismic waves in horizontally layered media using a deep neural network. In contrast to traditional finite-difference modelling techniques our network is able to directly approximate the recorded seismic…

A prerequisite for achieving seismic invisibility is to demonstrate the ability of civil engineers to control seismic waves with artificially structured soils. We carry out large-scale field tests with a structured soil made of a grid…

The challenge of achieving effective sound insulation using metamaterials persists in the field. In this research endeavor, a novel three-layer membrane-type acoustic metamaterial is introduced as a potential solution. Through the…

Developing a rapid, but also reliable and efficient, method for classifying the seismic damage potential of buildings constructed in countries with regions of high seismicity is always at the forefront of modern scientific research. Such a…

The recently-emerged concept of "invisible gateway" with the extraordinary capability to block the waves but allow the passage of other entities has attracted great attentions due to the general interests in illusion devices. However, the…

Tuning the mass density and bulk modulus independently is the key to manipulate the propagation of sound wave. Acoustic metamaterials provide a feasible method to realize various acoustic parameters. However, the relevant studies are mainly…

Metamaterials are artificially structured media that can focus (lensing) or reroute (cloaking) waves, and typically this is developed for electromagnetic waves at millimetric down to nanometric scales or for acoustics or thin elastic plates…

Most modern buildings and infrastructures are not designed to resist 8th magnitude earthquakes, for which studies on phononic crystals and local resonators reported so far are not particularly suited. We report a type of all-metallic…

We present the concept of a feedback-based topological acoustic metamaterial as a tool for realizing autonomous and active guiding of sound beams along arbitrary curved paths in free two-dimensional space. The metamaterial building blocks…

In recent years, metamaterials have gained considerable attention as a promising material technology due to their unique properties and customizable design, distinguishing them from traditional materials. This article delves into the value…

Diverting, and controlling, elastic vibrations impacting upon infrastructure is a major challenge for seismic hazard mitigation, and for the reduction of machine noise and vehicle vibration in the urban environment. Seismic metamaterials…

Non-reciprocal systems have been shown to exhibit various interesting wave phenomena, such as the non-Hermitian skin effect, which causes accumulation of modes at boundaries. Recent research on discrete systems showed that this effect can…

Effective structural assessment of urban infrastructure is essential for sustainable land use and resilience to climate change and natural hazards. Seismic wave methods are widely applied in these areas for subsurface characterization and…

In this paper, we consider the approximate acoustic cloaking in inhomogeneous isotropic background space. By employing transformation media, together with the use of a sound-soft layer lining right outside the cloaked region, we show that…

Seismic waves can couple with the atmosphere and generate sound waves. The influence of faulting mechanisms on earthquake sound patterns provides opportunities for earthquake source characterization. Sound radiated from earthquakes can be…

Following an earthquake, it is vital to quickly evaluate the safety of the impacted areas. Damage detection systems, powered by computer vision and deep learning, can assist experts in this endeavor. However, the lack of extensive, labeled…

We present MetaGuardian, a voice assistant (VA) protection system based on acoustic metamaterials. MetaGuardian can be directly integrated into the enclosures of various smart devices, effectively defending against inaudible, adversarial…

Metamaterials are composite structures whose properties arise from a mesoscale organization of their constituents. Provided this organization occurs on scales smaller than the characteristic lengths associated with their response, it is…
