The effective construction on elastic metamaterials

16:00-17:00 May 20(Tuesday), S615

In this talk, the spectrum of the  Neumann-Poincar´e operator is briefly discussed. Then  different kinds of structures are explored to effectively achieve the negative elastic metamaterials. First, the structure involving the bubbles embedded within the soft elastic materials will be discussed, offering an effective means to achieve the negative bulk modulus. Then the configuration incorporating hard inclusions embedded in the soft elastic matrix shall be investigated, enabling the attainment of negative values in the mass density and shear modulus.
