Nonreciprocal scattering of elastic waves at time interfaces induced by spatiotemporal modulation

Yingrui Ye, Chunxia Liu, Alessandro Marzani +3

Spatiotemporally modulated elastic metamaterials have garnered increasing interest for their potential applications in nonreciprocal wave devices. Most existing studies, however, f…

Non-Local Elastic Lattices with -Symmetry and Time Modulation: From Perfect Trapping to the Wave Boomerang Effect

Emanuele Riva

Wave motion is fundamentally constrained by the dispersion properties of the medium, often making it challenging -- or even impossible -- to guide wave packets along desired trajec…

Enhanced Sensitivity and Wave-Structure Interaction in Nonsingular Flat-Band Lattices with Compact Localized States

Emanuele Riva, Jacopo Marconi, Francesco Braghin

This paper investigates the dynamics of compact localized modes in one-dimensional flat-band elastic lattices. Flat dispersion arises from destructive interference between neighbor…

Adiabatic edge-to-edge transformations in time-modulated elastic lattices and non-Hermitian shortcuts

Emanuele Riva, Gianmaria Castaldini, Francesco Braghin

The temporal modulation of a relevant parameter can be employed to induce modal transformations in Hermitian elastic lattices. When this is combined with a proper excitation mechan…
