Acoustic topological circuitry in square and rectangular phononic crystals
Nicolas Laforge, Richard Wiltshaw, Richard V. Craster +6
We systematically engineer a series of square and rectangular phononic crystals to create experimental realisations of complex topological phononic circuits. The exotic topological…

Optimal isotropic, reusable truss lattice material with near-zero Poisson's ratio
Xueyan Chen, Johnny Moughames, Qingxiang Ji +9
Cork is a natural amorphous material with near-zero Poisson's ratio that is ubiquitously used for sealing glass bottles. It is an anisotropic, transversally isotropic, composite th…

Experimental observations of topologically guided water waves within non-hexagonal structures
Mehul P. Makwana, Nicolas Laforge, Richard V. Craster +4
We investigate symmetry-protected topological water waves within a strategically engineered square lattice system. Thus far, symmetry-protected topological modes in hexagonal syste…
