Abstract
- Elastic metamaterials with double negativity can manipulate the propagation of elastic waves at sub-wavelength scales by inducing multiple resonances to achieve different negative effective parameters. Numerous efforts have been made to control the dynamic behavior by directly tuning the frequency range of double negativity in elastic metamaterials. This study examines the impact of tensile loads on double negativity in relation to ligament inclination angle. The findings will aid in the direct tunability of double negativity in single-phase chiral metamaterials. The study examines a simple single-phase four-ligament chiral unit with low-order double negativity. The presence of double negativity was verified through band structure analysis and calculation of the four effective dynamic parameters. Additionally, the effects of two geometrical factors on the frequency ranges of negative parameters were investigated through parametric scanning. The results indicate that the frequency range of double negativity reaches its maximum at a ligament inclination angle of around 45° and disappears as the angle approaches 65°. Given that the ligament inclination angle of the unit cells can be easily altered by external tension, this intriguing outcome is leveraged to achieve the emergence and vanishing of double negativity. This characteristic is confirmed through the examination of negative refraction phenomena via simulation examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
