Edge waves and localisation in lattices containing tilted resonators
Domenico Tallarico, Alessio Trevisan, Natalia V. Movchan +1
The paper presents the study of waves in a structured geometrically chiral solid. A special attention is given to the analysis of the Bloch-Floquet waves in a doubly periodic high-…
Dispersion degeneracies and standing modes in flexural waves supported by Rayleigh beam structures
A. Piccolroaz, A. B. Movchan, L. Cabras
The paper presents a novel analysis of Floquet-Bloch flexural waves in a periodic lattice-like structure consisting of flexural beam ligaments. A special feature of this structure…
Spider-Web Inspired Mechanical Metamaterials
Marco Miniaci, Anastasiia Krushynska, Alexander B. Movchan +2
Spider silk is a remarkable example of bio-material with superior mechanical characteristics. Its multilevel structural organization of dragline and viscid silk leads to unusual an…
Propagation and filtering of elastic and electromagnetic waves in piezoelectric composite structures
Domenico Tallarico, Natalia V. Movchan, Alexander B. Movchan +1
In this article we discuss the modelling of elastic and electromagnetic wave propagation through one- and two-dimensional structured piezoelectric solids. Dispersion and the effect…
Experimental and analytical insights on fracture trajectories in brittle materials with voids
D. Misseroni, A. B. Movchan, N. V. Movchan +1
Analytical models have been developed for fracture propagation over the last several decades and are now considered with renewed interest; the range of their applicability varies f…
Achieving control of in-plane elastic waves
Michele Brun, Sebastien Guenneau, Alexander B. Movchan
We derive the elastic properties of a cylindrical cloak for in-plane coupled shear and pressure waves. The cloak is characterized by a rank 4 elasticity tensor with 16 spatially va…
