This broad review summarizes recent advances and “hot” research topics in nanophononics
and elastic, acoustic, and mechanical metamaterials based on results presented by the …

The introduction of engineered resonance phenomena on surfaces has opened a new
frontier in surface science and technology. Pillared phononic crystals, metamaterials, and …

Inertial amplification has been utilized in phononic media as a mechanism for the generation
of large band gaps at low subwavelength frequencies. A unique feature in an inertial …

Phononic materials are periodically arranged building blocks in the form of material
properties, geometries, and/or boundary conditions. This synthetic architecture makes …

Metamaterials are man-made substances with unique spatial alternations in their constituent
components. They are widely used in modifying elastic, acoustic, or electromagnetic …

Band gaps in elastic metamaterial rods with spatial periodic distribution and periodically
attached local resonators are investigated. New techniques to analyze metamaterial …

To protect civil structures from seismic damage, metasurfaces have been designed to control
the propagation of Rayleigh wave along the free surface of an elastic half-space. The …

We investigate wave motion in a continuous elastic rod with a periodically attached inertial-
amplification mechanism. The mechanism has properties similar to an “inerter” typically …

In the past two decades, the research on acoustic metamaterials has flourished, which is
also benefited from the development of additive manufacturing technology. The exotic …

A meta-plate structure featuring periodic tunable-stiffness nonlinear oscillators (NLOs) are
proposed for nonlinear vibration and flutter suppressions. The tunable nonlinear stiffness of …
