Dynamics and topology of non-Hermitian elastic lattices with non-local feedback control interactions

Abstract

We investigate non-Hermitian elastic lattices characterized by non-local feedback control interactions. In one-dimensional lattices, we show that the proportional control interactions produce complex dispersion relations characterized by gain and loss in opposite propagation directions. Depending on the non-local nature of the control interactions, the resulting non-reciprocity occurs in multiple frequency bands characterized by opposite non-reciprocal behavior. The dispersion topology is also investigated with focus on winding numbers and non-Hermitian skin effect, which manifests itself through bulk modes localized at the boundaries of finite lattices. In two-dimensional lattices, non-reciprocity is associated with directional dependent wave amplification. Moreover, the non-Hermitian skin effect manifests as modes localized at the boundaries of finite lattice strips, whose combined effect in two directions leads to the presence of bulk modes localized at the corners of finite two-dimensional lattices. Our results describe fundamental properties of non-Hermitian elastic lattices, and open new possibilities for the design of metamaterials with novel functionalities related to selective wave filtering, amplification and localization. The results also suggest that feedback interactions may be a useful strategy to investigate topological phases of non-Hermitian systems.
