The role of nonlinearities in topological protection: using magnetically coupled fidget spinners
Javier Vila, Glaucio H. Paulino, Massimo Ruzzene
We investigate and experimentally observe the existence of topologically protected interface modes in a one-dimensional mechanical lattice, and we report on the effect of nonlinear…
Observation of topological valley modes in an elastic hexagonal lattice
Javier Vila, Raj K. Pal, Massimo Ruzzene
We report on the experimental observation of topologically protected edge waves in a two-dimensional elastic hexagonal lattice. The lattice is designed to feature K point Dirac con…
Amplitude-dependent topological edge states in nonlinear phononic lattices
Raj Kumar Pal, Javier Vila, Michael Leamy +1
This work investigates the effect of nonlinearities on topologically protected edge states in one and two-dimensional phononic lattices. We first show that localized modes arise at…
A Bloch-based procedure for dispersion analysis of lattices with periodic time-varying properties
Javier Vila, Raj Kumar Pal, Massimo Ruzzene +1
We present a procedure for the systematic estimation of the dispersion properties of linear discrete systems with periodic time-varying coefficients. The approach relies on the ana…
