In this study, the in-plane Bloch wave propagation and bandgaps in a finitely stretched square lattice were investigated numerically and theoretically. To be specific, the elastic band diagram was calculated for an infinite periodic…
In this article we discuss the modelling of elastic and electromagnetic wave propagation through one- and two-dimensional structured piezoelectric solids. Dispersion and the effect of piezoelectricity on the group velocity and positions of…
This work investigates wave propagation in undulated square structural lattices. The undulated pattern is obtained by imposing an initial curvature to the lattice's elements. The study considers both periodic undulated structures, in which…
Elastic metamaterials are man-made structures with properties that transcend naturally occurring materials. One predominant feature of elastic metamaterials is locally resonant bandgaps, i.e., frequency ranges at which wave propagation is…
Architected materials that control elastic wave propagation are essential in vibration mitigation and sound attenuation. Phononic crystals and acoustic metamaterials use band gap engineering to forbid certain frequencies from propagating…
Locally resonant metamaterials are characterized by bandgaps at wavelengths that are much larger than the lattice size, enabling low-frequency vibration attenuation. Typically, bandgap analyses and predictions rely on the assumption of…
The effect of the presence of a finite impedance surface on the wave propagation properties of a two-dimensional periodic array of rigid cylinders with their axes perpendicular to the surface is both numerically and experimentally analyzed…
Within periodic materials and structures, wave scattering and dispersion occur across constituent material interfaces leading to a banded frequency response. In an earlier paper, the elastodynamics of one-dimensional periodic materials and…
Accomplishing a wide elastic wave bandgap with single phase constituent is of primary interest in developing phononic metamaterials. In the present article, exploiting spatial periodicity, a single phase lattice is configured towards…
We introduce the stochastic band structure, a method giving the dispersion relation for waves propagating in periodic media or along waveguides, and subject to material loss or radiation damping. Instead of considering an explicit or…
In this work we experimentally achieve 1 kHz-wide directional band-gaps for elastic waves spanning a frequency range from approximately 8 to 11 kHz. One-way propagation is induced by way of a periodic waveguide consisting in an aluminum…
Here we investigate the propagation and scattering of surface water waves by arrays of bottom-mounted cylindrical steps. Both periodic and random arrangements of the steps are considered. The wave transmission through the arrays is computed…
This paper introduces a micro-lattice based metamaterial for low frequency wide-band vibration attenuation, that is enabled by engineering the metamaterial's building blocks to induce local resonance bandgaps for elastic waves in all…
Nonlinear superlattices exhibit unique features allowing for wave manipulations. Despite the increasing attention received, the underlying physical mechanisms and the evolution process of the band structures and bandgaps in strongly…
Bloch wavefunctions are used to derive dispersion relations for water wave propagation in the presence of an infinite array of periodically arranged surface scatterers. For one dimensional periodicity (stripes), band gaps for wavevectors in…
The thickness vibrations of a finitely deformed infinite periodic laminate made out of two layers of dielectric elastomers is studied. The laminate is pre-stretched by inducing a bias electric field perpendicular the the layers. Incremental…
The mechanics of lower dimensional elastic structures depends strongly on the geometry of their stress-free state. Elastic deformations separate into in-plane stretching and lower energy out-of-plane bending deformations. For elastic…
We present a new computational method for the accurate identification of the propagation modes and polarizations of elastic waves propagating in periodic solid structures and metamaterials. The method uses the eigenvectors calculated at…
This study examines the Braggs bandgap and its mechanical tuning in a stretch-buckled kirigami sheet with "zig-zag" distributed parallel cuts. When stretched beyond a critical threshold, the kirigami buckles out-of-plane and generates a 3D…
A theoretical investigation is made of acoustic wave propagation in a periodically stubbed waveguide. In general the waveguide segments and stubs are made of different materials. The acoustic wave in such a system has two independent…
