2-D Elastic Metamaterial with an Ultrawide Bandgap

Vibrations Laboratory is equipped with the instrumentation and software required for measurement and analysis of vibrations of structures and machinery. In the lab, there are two shakers for low frequency high force and high frequency low force applications, an impact hammer, data acquisition systems, accelerometers, a laser vibrometer, a quasi-zero stiffness vibration isolation platform, an oscilloscope, and other miscellaneous electrical and mechanical measurement instruments. Current research in the lab focuses on computational and experimental investigation of vibration isolation systems, passive and adaptive vibration absorber systems, phononic band gap structures and elastic metamaterials.
