Abstract: We investigate the properties of highamplitude stress waves propagating through chains of elastic–plastic particles using experiments and simulations. We model the system after impact using discrete element method (DEM) ...

Abstract: We present a onedimensional, multiscale massspring model to describe the response of vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT) foams subjected to uniaxial, highrate compressive deformations. The model uses mesoscopic ...

Abstract: Elastic and acoustic metamaterials can sculpt dispersion of waves through resonances. In turn, resonances can give rise to negative effective properties, usually localized around the resonance frequencies, which support ...

Abstract: We show that shear waves traveling toward the surface of a half-space medium can be attenuated via buried one-dimensional arrays of resonators—here called metapiles—arranged according to sparse patterns around a site to ...

Abstract: Reciprocity is a property of linear, time-invariant systems whereby the energy transmission from a source to a receiver is unchanged after exchanging the source and receiver. Nonreciprocity violates this property and can ...
