Abstract

This study investigates the topological localization and propagation of flexural waves in metamaterial plates with perforated holes exhibiting glide symmetry. The dispersion relations of flexural waves in this mechanical system exhibit four-fold Dirac degeneracies at the M point of the Brillouin zone. By properly adjusting the rotation angles of the perforated holes, these degeneracies can be lifted up to create omnidirectional bandgaps, enabling nontrivial topological phases. Both numerical and experimental results demonstrate multiple topological states of flexural waves in the developed elastic metaplates, including dual-band helical interface states and anisotropic interface/corner states. The simple perforated metaplates with glide-symmetric holes provide novel, manufacturable platforms for the flexible manipulation of topological flexural waves, greatly facilitating potential applications such as energy harvesting and signal enhancement.
