Abstract: Elastic metamaterials have been extensively investigated due to their significant effects on controlling propagation of elastic waves. One of the most interesting properties is the generation of band gaps, in which ...

Abstract: An elastic metamaterial with a lowfrequency passband is proposed by imitating a lattice system with linear onsite potential. It is shown that waves can only propagate in the tunable passband. Then, two kinds of elastic ...

Abstract: For practical applications of the elastic metamaterials, dynamic behavior of finite structures made of elastic metamaterials with frequency dependent properties are analyzed theoretically and numerically. First, based on ...
