Abstract:We experimentally implement a virtual geometric periodicity in an elastic metamaterial. First, unwanted boundary reflections at the domain ends are cancelled through the iterative injection of the polarity reversed, reflected wavefield. The resulting boundless experimental state allows for a much better analysis of the metamaterials influence on the propagating wavefield. Subsequently, the propagating wavefield exiting on one end of the structure is reintroduced at the opposite end, creating a virtual geometri… Show more
