Elastic metamaterials with simultaneously negative effective shear modulus and mass density.

چکیده
We propose a type of elastic metamaterial comprising fluid-solid composite inclusions which can possess a negative shear modulus and negative mass density over a large frequency region. Such a material has the unique property that only transverse waves can propagate with a negative dispersion while longitudinal waves are forbidden. This leads to many interesting phenomena such as negative refraction, which is demonstrated by using a wedge sample and a significant amount of mode conversion from transverse waves to longitudinal waves that cannot occur on the interface of two natural solids.

Elastic wave transparency of a solid sphere coated with metamaterials
The elastic wave transparency phenomenon of a solid sphere coated with metamaterials is investigated in a solid host medium having nonzero shear modulus. The first three scattering coefficients of the coated sphere are derived in the Rayleigh limit and expressed in terms of the effective parameters of the coated sphere assemblage. It is found that the effective bulk modulus, mass density, and s...
متن کاملDetermination of effective mass density and modulus for resonant metamaterials.
This work presents a method to determine the effective dynamic properties of resonant metamaterials. The longitudinal vibration of a rod with periodically attached oscillators was predicted using wave propagation analysis. The effective mass density and modulus were determined from the transfer function of vibration responses. Predictions of these effective properties compared favorably with la...
متن کاملTunable acoustic double negativity metamaterial
Man-made composite materials called "metamaterials" allow for the creation of unusual wave propagation behavior. Acoustic and elastic metamaterials in particular, can pave the way for the full control of sound in realizing cloaks of invisibility, perfect lenses and much more. In this work we design acousto-elastic surface modes that are similar to surface plasmons in metals and on highly conduc...
متن کاملNegative acoustic index metamaterial
Acoustic metamaterials utilizing periodic deep subwavelength resonators can attain negative acoustic properties unavailable in nature. We have developed a negative acoustic index metamaterial for water that combines Helmholtz and rod-spring resonators to control effective bulk modulus and mass density, respectively. Effective properties extracted from full-wave simulations of our metamaterial s...
متن کاملMethod for retrieving effective properties of locally resonant acoustic metamaterials
Acoustic metamaterials can be described by effective material properties such as mass density and modulus. We have developed a method to extract these effective properties from reflection and transmission coefficients, which can be measured experimentally. The dependency of effective properties on the positions of the boundaries of the acoustic metamaterial is discussed, and a proper procedure ...
