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, \(\sim \) 65% fractional bandwidth). Nonlinear transient simulations quantify transmission loss and are corroborated by experimental tests on 3D-printed PMM arrays. Parametric studies show that friction and loading amplitude primarily influence transmissibility near the lower band gaps through stick–slip dissipation, whereas the higher-frequency response is comparatively insensitive. Direction-dependent transmission emerges when the asymmetric unit cell operates with frictional contacts and geometrical nonlinearity, suggesting passive nonreciprocal wave propagation tunable via the friction coefficient.
