Seismic wave shield using cubic arrays of split-ball resonators
Bogdan Ungureanu, Younes Achaoui, Stephane Brule +3
Metre size inertial resonators located in the ground have been theoretically shown to interact with a seismic wave (attenuation, band gaps) to enable protection of surface structur…
The influence of building interactions on seismic and elastic surface waves
Bogdan Ungureanu, Sébastien Guenneau, Younes Achaoui +6
We outline some recent research advances on the control of elastic waves in thin and thick plates, that have occurred since the large scale experiment [Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 133901…
Seismic waves damping with arrays of inertial resonators
Younes Achaoui, Bogdan Ungureanu, Stefan Enoch +2
We investigate the elastic stop band properties of a theoretical cubic array of iron spheres connected to a bulk of concrete via iron or rubber ligaments. Each sphere can move free…
Auxetic-like metamaterials as novel earthquake protections
Bogdan Ungureanu, Younes Achaoui, Stefan Enoch +2
We propose that wave propagation through a class of mechanical metamaterials opens unprecedented avenues in seismic wave protection based on spectral properties of auxetic-like met…
