Metamaterials and phononic crystals (PCs) with artificially designed periodic microstructures
have attracted increasing research interests due to their unique properties that cannot be …

Mechanical metamaterials are uniquely engineered form of periodically arranged unit cells
that exhibit interesting frequency-dependent physical properties like negative effective mass …

Tacticity is long known as a significant contributor in changing the chemical and mechanical
properties of the polymers drastically. This study explores mechanism of bandgap formation …

We theoretically investigate the bandgap formation in an Euler–Bernoulli beam-based
metastructure with periodically attached double negative 3-dof local resonators. The …

Elastic mechanical metamaterials are the exemplar of periodic structures. These are
artificially designed structures having idiosyncratic physical properties like negative mass …

Elastic mechanical metamaterials exhibit unusual frequency contingent properties like
negative mass, negative Young's modulus, and negative Poisson's ratio in a particular band …

Tensairity refers to a class of lightweight structure which has a wide range of interesting
applications such as temporary bridges, inflatable kites, of unmanned aerial vehicle wings …

Dynamics of periodic materials and structures have a profound historic background starting
from Newton's first effort to find sound propagation in the air to Rayleigh's exploration of …

Line modes have been recently identified in electromagnetic materials: one dimensional
waves bound to surfaces with opposite sign of permittivity and permeability. Here, we …

Metamaterials have properties that are not usually found in conventional materials. Its
unique periodic arrangement allows vibration suppression more successfully than most …
