Band gap mechanism and vibration attenuation characteristics of the quasi-one-dimensional tetra-chiral metamaterial

In this paper, the quasi-one-dimensional tetra-chiral metamaterial is proposed for low-frequency broadband vibration attenuation, inspired by the 3D chiral compression-torsion coupling metamaterials. Different from the traditional metamaterials utilizing translational local resonators to induce reaction force to prevent vibration transmission, this paper can realize rotation and translation on a resonator by introducing chiral structure, which...
