Phase transitions in 2D multistable mechanical metamaterials via collisions of soliton-like pulses
Weijian Jiao, Hang Shu, Vincent Tournat +2
In this work, we report observations of phase transitions in 2D multistable mechanical metamaterials that are initiated by collisions of soliton-like pulses in the metamaterial. An…
Wave manipulation using a bistable chain with reversible impurities
Hiromi Yasuda, Efstathios G. Charalampidis, Prashant K. Purohit +2
We systematically study linear and nonlinear wave propagation in a chain composed of piecewise-linear bistable springs. Such bistable systems are ideal testbeds for supporting nonl…
Origami-based impact mitigation via rarefaction solitary wave creation
Hiromi Yasuda, Yasuhiro Miyazawa, Efstathios G. Charalampidis +3
The principles underlying the art of origami paper folding can be applied to design sophisticated metamaterials with unique mechanical properties. By exploiting the flat crease pat…
Scattering of Waves by Impurities in Precompressed Granular Chains
Alejandro J. Martínez, Hiromi Yasuda, Eunho Kim +3
We study scattering of waves by impurities in strongly precompressed granular chains. We explore the linear scattering of plane waves and identify a closed-form expression for the…
