Abstract:Over the last two decades, metamaterials have attracted a high number of researches motivated by the possibility of designing structures capable of manipulating wave propagation. The basic mechanism underlying the behavior of mechanical metamaterials is their negative effective dynamic parameters (mass and/or stiffness). Within the framework of mechanical metamaterials, most of the developments up to now have considered linear material behavior only. There is a natural need to understand the effect of nonlinea… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
