Abstract: Energy dissipation in polymeric composite metamaterials requires special mathematical models owing to the viscoelastic nature of their constituents, namely, the polymeric matrix, bonding agent, and local resonators. Unlike ...

Abstract: Equations governing different physical fields such as mechanical, acoustical, and electrical are inherently similar. This enables mechanical, thermal, and acoustical networks to be fully described with analogous electric ...

Abstract: Vibration characteristics of metamaterial beams manufactured of assemblies of periodic cells with builtin local resonances are presented. Each cell consists of a base structure provided with cavities filled by a viscoelastic ...

Abstract: Owing to their ability to block propagating waves at certain frequencies, phononic materials of self-repeating cells are widely appealing for acoustic mitigation and vibration suppression applications. The stop band behavior ...

Abstract: Elastic metamaterials utilize locally resonant mechanical elements to onset band gap characteristics that are typically exploited in vibration suppression and isolation applications. The present work employs a comprehensive ...
