Phononic crystals (PCs) and metamaterials (MMs) can exhibit abnormal properties, even far
beyond those found in nature, through artificial design of the topology or ordered structure of …

Dielectric elastomers (DEs) are a type of multifunctional materials with salient features that
are very attractive in developing soft, lightweight, and small-scale transducers and robotics …

Active tuning of elastic wave band gaps received significant attention in the recent past. To
this end, soft dielectric elastomers (DEs) have indicated great promise owing to their …

Topological phononic crystals have attracted intensive attention due to their peculiar
topologically protected interface or edge states. Their operating frequency, however, is …

We propose a design of a metamaterial for magnetically tunable propagation of nonlinear
vector solitary waves. The metamaterial consists of a periodic array of units of hard-magnetic …

Phononic crystals (PnCs) and acoustic metamaterials (AMMs) are artificially architected
materials endowed with the capabilities of wave manipulation. This review specifically …

Metamaterials (MMs), which include phononic crystals (PCs) as a particular type, exhibit
anomalous wave propagation properties through artificial design of topologies or lattice …

We study the magneto-mechanical behavior of periodic laminates made of hard-magnetic
active elastomers (HMAEs). We formulate the amended free-energy function for HMAEs, and …

In recent 20 years, electronic equipment has been developing rapidly in the direction of light,
miniaturization, flexibility, and integration. It is urgent to meet the needs of matching energy …

Bandgaps of traditional phononic crystals (PCs) are determined using structural geometric
parameters and material properties, and they are difficult to tune in practical applications …
