Monolithic frictional phononic metamaterials exhibiting directional nonlinear wave transmission
摘要
There is a growing demand for passive materials capable of controlling elastic waves in a tunable and direction-dependent manner, especially in applications where external power, complex assemblies, or pre-compression are impractical. The current study introduces a novel passive, monolithic, assembly-free asymmetric frictional phononic metamaterial (PMM) with direction-dependent wave propagation. Linear Bloch eigenfrequency analysis predicts pronounced anisotropy and low-frequency band gaps arising from the asymmetric unit-cell geometry, including a wide band gap spanning 1203–2392 Hz (1189 Hz,
