Abstract: Study on the response of honeycombs subjected to inplane shear helps establish the constitutive relations for honeycombs and shed light on the mechanics of cellular materials. The present study explores the nonlinear elastic ...

Abstract: Phononic crystals and metamaterials have been widely investigated over the last decade. In recent years, by integration with piezoelectric transducers, phononic/metamaterial-based piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEHs) ...

Abstract: Inspired by the mechanism of acoustic–elastic metamaterial (AEMM) that exhibits a stop band gap for wave transmission, simultaneous vibration suppression and energy harvesting can be achieved by integrating AEMM with ...

Abstract: In recent years, metamaterials for the applications in low-frequency vibration suppression and noise reduction have attracted numerous research interests. This paper proposes a metamaterial system with local resonators ...
