Single-particle limit of a topological edge state in a locally resonant band gap
Garigipati Sai Srikanth, Kai Qian, Ian Frankel +3
Topological metamaterials promise unprecedented wave control. Here, we theoretically and numerically investigate a one-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH)-inspired stiffness dim…
Observation of mechanical kink control and generation via phonons
Kai Qian, Nan Cheng, Francesco Serafin +4
Kinks (or domain walls) are localized transitions between distinct ground states associated with a topological invariant, and are central to many phenomena across physics, from con…
Customizable wave tailoring materials enabled by nonlinear bilevel inverse design
Brianna MacNider, Haning Xiu, Kai Qian +3
Passive transformation of waves via nonlinear systems is ubiquitous in settings ranging from acoustics to optics and electromagnetics. Passivity is of particular importance for res…
Tailoring high precision polynomial architected material constitutive responses via inverse design
Brianna MacNider, Ian Frankel, Kai Qian +4
The design of specified nonlinear mechanical responses into a structure or material is a highly sought after capability, which would have a significant impact in areas such as wave…
