Abstract:Traditional elastic metamaterials encounter difficulties when trying to independently adjust the operating frequency in two perpendicular directions. In this research, we present a practical active elastic metamaterial with the capability to achieve extreme stiffness anisotropy. Our approach involves incorporating piezoelectric patches, coupled with adjustable conductance, into the microstructure unit cell to control the effective elastic stiffness in both primary directions. We conduct simulations to manipula… Show more
