Aperiodic metamaterials represent a class of structural systems that are composed of different building blocks (cells), instead of a self-repeating chain of the same unit cells. Optimizing aperiodic cellular structural systems thus presents…
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,…
Space-time metamaterials are redefining wave engineering by enabling fully dynamic four-dimensional control of electromagnetic fields, allowing simultaneous manipulation of frequency, amplitude, momentum, and propagation direction. This…
Nonlocal metamaterials (MTMs) have recently attracted significant attention across different areas of wave physics, owing to their ability to translate long-range interactions among meta-atoms into a wide array of wavevector-dependent…
Topological acoustic and elastic waves have recently emerged as an exciting interdisciplinary field which is still mainly focused on low-dimensional structures and model systems. Here we demonstrate numerically an elastic-wave analogue of…
Asymmetric-double-bars (ADB) structure is one of the most interesting plasmonic metamaterials that has been broadly investigated. Here we propose to manufacture ADB on top of elastic material, to get direct control to the dimension of ADB…
Nonlinear mechanical metamaterials can exhibit emergent transport phenomena that mimic topological protection without relying on linear band topology. Here, we realize a bifurcation-induced nonreciprocal lattice that supports robust…
Hyperbolic metamaterials were initially proposed in optics to boost radiation efficiencies of quantum emitters. Adopting this concept for antenna design can allow approaching long-standing challenges in radio physics. For example, impedance…
The sensitivity to deformation plays a key role in determining the applicability of stretchable metamaterials (MMs) to be used for conformal integration or mechanical reconfiguration. Typically, different unit designs are required to…
Variable stiffness is a key capability in biological and robotic systems, enabling adaptive interaction across tasks and environments. Mechanical metamaterials offer an alternative to conventional mechatronic solutions by encoding stiffness…
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…
Mechanical metamaterials can be designed to exhibit unique mechanical properties, including tunable auxetic behavior as well as multi-stability, which arise from the geometry and configuration of the constituent building blocks.…
Motivated by recent theoretical and experimental interest in metamaterials comprising non-local coupling terms, we present an analytic framework to realise materials with arbitrary complex dispersion relations. Building on the inverse…
In solid state physics, a bandgap (BG) refers to a range of energies where no electronic states can exist. This concept was extended to classical waves, spawning the entire fields of photonic and phononic crystals where BGs are frequency…
In contrary to elastic media, it is easy to attain one-way coupling feature among electrical elements, which enables unidirectional transmission of electrical wave. In this paper, we explore and exploit the interaction of a piezoelectric…
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…
To date, the vast majority of architected materials have leveraged two physical principles to control wave behavior, namely Bragg interference and local resonances. Here, we describe a third path: structures that accommodate a finite number…
We investigate the dynamics and topology of metastructures with quasiperiodically modulated local resonances. The concept is implemented on a LEGO beam featuring an array of tunable pillar-cone resonators. The versatility of the platform…
Precise control of the polarization and propagation direction of elastic waves is a fundamental challenge in elastodynamics. Achieving efficient mode conversion along arbitrary paths with conventional techniques has proven difficult. In…
We consider a previously experimentally realized discrete model that describes a mechanical metamaterial consisting of a chain of pairs of rigid units connected by flexible hinges. Upon analyzing the linear band structure of the model, we…
