Abstract

Abstract A special kind of elastic metamaterials with periodic unit-cells composed of two layers with internal crack-like voids situated at the interfaces between two neighboring sub-layers is studied. To investigate experimentally guided waves propagation in EMMs with arrays of voids, several specimens with periodic arrays of crack-like voids have been manufactured using additive manufacturing techniques. The elastic waves have been excited by a rectangular piezoelectric transducer bonded at the surface of the specimen, while the wave-fields on the surface of the EMM specimen are measured by a laser Doppler vibrometer. The dispersion characteristics are investigated using the matrix pencil method and band-gaps are observed experimentally.
