Spatially distributed arrays of piezoelectric disks are being applied to monitor structural integrity using Lamb waves. Applied loads directly affect waves propagating between array elements because dimensional changes and the acoustoelastic effect. Resulting in phase velocity depend upon propagation direction as well wave mode frequency.

We investigate robust large-area elastic transverse wave propagation in an actively tunable membrane-type acoustic metamaterial. The waveguide with multiple degrees of freedom to control the width interface mode is realized by designing a heterostructure including three domains. One central domain constructed periodic unit cells ordinary state, where Dirac cone can be observed band structure. other two domains consist possessing opposite valley Chern numbers, respectively.

The Kirchhoff approximation (KA) for elastic wave scattering from two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) rough surfaces is critically examined using finite-element (FE) simulations capable of extracting highly accurate data while retaining a fine-scale surface.
