Description
Résumé:Abstract We have proposed solid elastic metamaterials with anisotropic stiffness and inertial mass simultaneously, denoted as the dual anisotropy, for the potential use of elastic wave controlling. The dual anisotropy has been designed weakly dispersive in a broad frequency range, wherein broadband anisotropic mass is achieved by employing the sliding-interface concept in fluid-solid composites. Results have been validated through the band-structure, effective-medium, and modal-field analyses. We have further found that the proposed solid metamaterial, when its shear stiffness is diminished until neglected, would reduce to the pentamode-inertial material model. This reduced model is the general form of mediums following transformation acoustic theory, which has been proved vital for acoustic wave controlling. Our studies are expected to pave a new route toward broadband acoustic and elastic wave controlling using dual-anisotropic solid metamaterials.
