The elastic wave propagation is investigated in the beam lattice material characterized by a square periodic cell with anti-tetrachiral microstructure. With reference to the Floquet-Bloch spectrum, focus is made on the band structure…
The periodic cellular topology characterizing the microscale structure of a heterogeneous material may allow the finest functional customization of its acoustic dispersion properties. The paper addresses the free propagation of elastic…
The engineered class of anti-tetrachiral cellular materials is phenomenologically characterized by a strong auxeticity of the elastic macroscopic response. The auxetic behavior, accompanied by a marked anisotropy, is activated by rolling-up…
The dispersive wave propagation in a periodic metamaterial with tetrachiral topology and inertial local resonators is investigated. The Floquet-Bloch spectrum of the metamaterial is compared with that of the tetrachiral beam lattice…
Metamaterials are arrangement of basic building blocks that repeat in space, time, or both. These material systems serve as an excellent platform for controlling waves, such as engineering wavenumber band gaps, flat bands, and…
We study lightweight, elastic metamaterials consisting of tensegrity-inspired prisms, which present wide, low-frequency band gaps. For their realization, we alternate tensegrity elements with solid discs in periodic arrangements that we…
The design of band-gap metamaterials, i.e., metamaterials with the capability to inhibit wave propagation of a specific frequency range, has numerous potential engineering applications, such as acoustic filters and vibration isolation…
Local resonance band gaps in acoustic metamaterials are widely known for their strong attenuation yet narrow frequency span. The latter limits the practical ability to implement subwavelength band gaps for broadband attenuation and has…
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…
In this paper the relaxed micromorphic material model for anisotropic elasticity is used to describe the dynamical behavior of a band-gap metamaterial with tetragonal symmetry. Unlike other continuum models (Cauchy, Cosserat, second…
Recently, an increasing research effort has been dedicated to analyse the transmission and dispersion properties of periodic acoustic metamaterials, characterized by the presence of local resonators. Within this context, particular…
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…
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…
In this paper, we present a unit cell showing a band-gap in the lower acoustic domain. The corresponding metamaterial is made up of a periodic arrangement of this unit cell. We rigorously show that the relaxed micromorphic model can be used…
The paper develops a new integral micromorphic elastic continuum model, which can describe dispersion properties of band-gap metamaterials, i.e., metamaterials that inhibit propagation of waves in a certain frequency range. The enrichment…
In this work, we present a computational analysis of the planar wave propagation behavior of a one-dimensional periodic multi-stable cellular material. Wave propagation in these materials is interesting because they combine the ability of…
Topological metamaterials unlock confined and robust elastic wave control in mechanical structures. Recent breakthroughs have precipitated the development of 3D topological mechanical metamaterials, which extend beyond the conventional 1D…
It is well-known that band gaps, in the frequency domain, can be achieved by using periodic metamaterials. However it has been challenging to design materials with broad band gaps or that have multiple overlapping band gaps. For periodic…
In this paper, lightweight metastructures are designed consisting of prismatic tensegrity building blocks which have excellent strength-to-weight ratio and also enable unique compression-torsion coupling. A theoretical model with coupled…
This work studies the acoustic band structure of tensegrity metamaterials, and the possibility to tune the dispersion relation of such systems by playing with local and global prestress variables. Building on established results of the…
