Abstract
Through a combination of analytical, numerical, and experimental methods, we study a three-dimensional metamaterial with the ability to attenuate both airborne sound and mechanical vibrations, simultaneously, and in all directions. In addition, due to the auxetic nature of the design (i.e., having a negative Poisson's ratio), the metamaterial can shrink (or expand) in a relatively uniform manner, without buckling. We utilize an external load to cause a systematic shape change in the metamaterial and tune the attenuation frequency bands. The presented design principles can be utilized in many applications related to acoustic and elastic wave manipulation as well as acoustic devices.
