Abstract
- In this paper we show that an enriched continuum model of the micromorphic type (Relaxed Micromorphic Model) can be used to model metamaterials' response in view of their use for meta-structural design. We focus on the fact that the reduced model's structure, coupled with the introduction of well-posed interface conditions, allows us to easily test different combinations of metamaterials' and classical-materials bricks, so that we can eventually end-up with the conception of a meta-structure acting as a mechanical diode for low/medium frequencies and as a total screen for higher frequencies. Thanks to the reduced model's structure, we are also able to optimize this meta-structure so that the diode-behaviour is enhanced for both "pressure" and "shear" incident waves and for all possible angles of incidence. • The importance of disposing of a reduced model to enable the effective use of metamaterials in meta-structural design. • An enriched continuum model of the micromorphic type can be effectively used to model metamaterials' response, even for specimens of finite size. • The reduced model's structure, coupled with the introduction of well-posed interface conditions allows us to unveil the response of meta-structures combining metamaterials and classical-materials bricks. • The conception of a simple metamaterial/classical-material structure that acts as a mechanical diode for low/medium frequencies and as a total screen for higher frequencies.
