We investigate the complex band structure and forced response of flexural waves
propagating in an elastic metamaterial thick plate. Mindlin-Reissner thick plate theory is …

Achieving broadband low-frequency surface wave bandgaps is technically challenging,
which calls for a systematic design paradigm instead of intuitive approaches. In this study …

Topological insulator (TI) has received enormous attention in recent years due to its
intriguing dynamic characterizes of topologically protected wave transport and defect …

In recent years, a new type of seismic isolation system which exploits the filtering effect of
bandgaps, named Periodic Foundation, has been proposed to isolate the upper structure …

Phononic crystals exhibit Bragg bandgaps, frequency regions within which wave
propagation is forbidden. In solid continua, bandgaps are the outcome of destructive …

Coupling the widely used Biot's theory and the periodic structure theory in the solid-state
physics, this paper presents a comprehensive numerical investigation on the complex …

We investigate the complex band structure of elastic waves in a magnetoelectroelastic
phononic crystal, consisting of a polymeric matrix reinforced by BaTiO 3-CoFe 2 O 4 …

The acoustic topological waveguide (ATW) hosting topologically protected waveguide
modes provides a unique opportunity for achieving large-scale sound transport with …

Acoustic topological insulators (ATIs) with topological states that are insensitive to defects
and impurities offer a robust way to steer acoustic waves. However, current ATIs in square …

This paper presents an investigation of flexural wave band gaps in locally resonant
metamaterials (LRMs). An LRM is a periodic structure consisting of repeated unit cells …
