Abstract

We observe maxon-like dispersion of ultrasonic guided waves in elastic metamaterials consisting of a rectangular beam and an array of cylindrical resonators. The pillars act as asymmetric resonators that induce a strong modal hybridization. We experimentally observe the strongly localized maxon mode with zero group velocity. Our study also demonstrates a unique feature of the maxon with a down-shifting peak frequency in space. To reveal the fundamental mechanism, we conduct comprehensive numerical studies on all frieze group symmetries and key geometric parameters.
