We investigate and experimentally demonstrate the elastic wave filtering properties of graded undulated lattices. Square reticulates composed of curved beams are characterized by graded mechanical properties which result from the spatial modulation of the curvature parameter. Among such properties, the progressive formation of frequency bandgaps leads to strong wave attenuation over a broad frequency range. The experimental investigation of wave transmission and the detection of full wavefields…

Comparison of Transmission Measurement Methods of Elastic Waves in Phononic Band Gap Materials

In this work, piezoelectric transducers are utilized to excite two additively manufactured three-dimensional cellular structures to measure the transmission factor and gain insight into the way the pieZoelectrics transducers convert the transmitted signal.

Wave attenuation and trapping in 3D printed cantilever-in-mass metamaterials with spatially correlated variability

It is demonstrated that the vibration attenuation profile is strictly related to the spatial profile of the variability, and that there exists an optimal disorder degree below which the attenuation bandwidth widens; for high disorder levels, the band gap mistuning annihilates the overall attenuation.
