a review of experimental techniques for actuation and detection of elastic waves, and an overview of state-of-the art applications of wave propagation in linear and nonlinear periodic media.

A joint research team has successfully demonstrated the complete confinement of mechanical waves within a single ...

Using a system of cylindrical granular particles -- small solid rods made of quartz -- the researchers built a highly tunable mechanical platform. By precisely adjusting how the cylinders touch each ...
