This article presents the experimental characterization of nonreciprocal elastic wave transmission in a single-mode elastic waveguide. This asymmetric system is obtained by coupling a selection layer with a conversion layer: the selection…
The propagation of intense acoustic waves in a one-dimensional phononic crystal is studied. The medium consists in a structured fluid, formed by a periodic array of fluid layers with alternating linear acoustic properties and quadratic…
A mechanism for asymmetric (nonreciprocal) wave transmission is presented. As a reference system, we consider a layered nonlinear, non mirror-symmetric model described by the one-dimensional Discrete Nonlinear Schreodinger equation with…
Beyond the constraints of conservative systems, altering wave propagation frequency emerges as a crucial factor across diverse physical domains. This Letter demonstrates bi-directional asymmetric frequency conversion -- either upward or…
Asymmetric transmission of waves has received considerable attention in the last few decades, inspired by numerous applications in the domains of optics and wave communications. A possible way to achieve such asymmetry in wave propagation…
We report the propagation of high-intensity sound beams in a sonic crystal, under self-collimation or reduced-divergence conditions. The medium is a fluid with elastic quadratic nonlinearity, where the dominating nonlinear effect is…
The paper describes a novel methodology of designing granular phononic crystals for acoustic wave manipulations. A discrete element method is utilized to model the dynamics of a pulse wave propagating through the densely packed assembly of…
When waves impinge on a disordered material they are back-scattered and form a highly complex interference pattern. Suppressing any such distortions in the free propagation of a wave is a challenging task with many applications in a number…
Acoustic waves in a linear time-invariant medium are generally reciprocal; however, reciprocity can break down in a time-variant system. In this Letter, we report on an experimental demonstration of nonreciprocity in a dynamic…
Phononic crystals and acoustic meta-materials are used to tailor phonon and sound propagation properties by facilitating artificial, periodic structures. Analogous to photonic crystals, phononic band gaps can be created, which influence…
A reconfigurable phononic crystal (PnC) is proposed where elastic properties can be modulated by rotation of asymmetric solid scatterers immersed in water. The scatterers are metallic rods with cross-section of 120{\deg} circular sector.…
We predict theoretically the nondiffractive propagation of sonic waves in periodic acoustic media (sonic crystals), by expansion into a set of plane waves (Bloch mode expansion), and by finite difference time domain calculations of finite…
Light propagation in asymmetric Kerr-nonlinear multilayers with perfect transmission resonances is theoretically investigated. It is found that hybrid Fabry-P\'erot/photonic-crystal structures of the type (BA)^k(AB)^k(AABB)^m exhibit both…
In this work, we study the wave propagation in a recently proposed acoustic structure, the locally resonant granular crystal. This structure is composed of a one-dimensional granular crystal of hollow spherical particles in contact,…
A one-dimensional wave propagation through elastically asymmetric media is investigated. A class of metamaterials possessing an arbitrary elastic asymmetry is proposed. This asymmetry results in different wave speeds of tensile and…
All solids, whether crystalline or disordered, support elastic wave propagation with a linear dispersion relation in the long-wavelength limit. These waves, corresponding to low-frequency phonons, feature a vibrational density of states…
The resonance modes and the related effects to the transmission of elastic waves in a two dimensional phononic crystal formed by periodic arrangements of a two blocks unit cell in one direction are studied. The unit cell consists of two…
The ability to control the asymmetric propagation of light in nanophotonic waveguides is of fundamental importance for optical communications and on-chip signal processing. However, in most studies so far, the design of such structures has…
We study wave propagation in strongly nonlinear 1D diatomic granular crystals under an impact load. Depending on the mass ratio of the `light' to `heavy' beads, this system exhibits rich wave dynamics from highly localized traveling waves…
We study the nonlinear wave dynamics of one-dimensional chains of polycatenated rings. These interlocked structures support amplitude-dependent nonlinear wave propagation driven by tensile activation and internal structural flexibility,…
