Interfacial waveforms in chiral lattices with gyroscopic spinners
Interfacial waveforms in chiral lattices with gyroscopic spinners
We demonstrate a new method of achieving topologically protected states in an elastic hexagonal system of trusses by attaching gyroscopic spinners, which bring chirality to the system. Dispersive features of this medium are investigated in detail, and it is shown that one can manipulate the locations of stop-bands and Dirac …
