Resonant attenuation of surface acoustic waves by a weakly bonded layer
Martin Robin, Thomas Dehoux, Maroun Abi Ghanem
We investigate the propagation of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) in a layered half-space system comprising a continuous, sub-wavelength-thick layer weakly adhering to a substrate. U…
Dependence of the kinetic energy absorption capacity of bistable mechanical metamaterials on impactor mass and velocity
Ryan Fancher, Ian Frankel, Kyle Chin +7
Using an alternative mechanism to dissipation or scattering, bistable structures and mechanical metamaterials have shown promise for mitigating the detrimental effects of impact by…
Topology optimization of nonlinear periodically microstructured materials for tailored homogenized constitutive properties
Reza Behrou, Maroun Abi Ghanem, Brianna C. Macnider +6
A topology optimization method is presented for the design of periodic microstructured materials with prescribed homogenized nonlinear constitutive properties over finite strain ra…
Growing Phenotype-controlled Phononic Materials from Plant Cells Scaffolds
Maroun Abi Ghanem, Liliane Khoryati, Reza Behrou +5
Biological composites offer self-healing properties, biocompatibility, high responsivity to external stimuli, and multifunctionality, due, in part, to their complex, hierarchical m…
Complex contact-based dynamics of microsphere monolayers revealed by resonant attenuation of surface acoustic waves
Morgan Hiraiwa, Maroun Abi Ghanem, Samuel P. Wallen +3
Contact-based vibrations play a critical role in the dynamics of granular materials. Significant insights into vibrational granular dynamics have been obtained with reduced-dimensi…
A Self-Assembled Metamaterial for Lamb Waves
Amey Khanolkar, Samuel Wallen, Maroun Abi Ghanem +3
We report the design and characterization of a self-assembled, locally resonant acoustic metamaterial for Lamb waves, composed of a monolayer of m polystyrene microsphere…
