“…Properly conceiving their design in terms of size, shape, and arrangement, as well as choosing their density and elastic properties demonstrated great potential for attaining exceptional dynamic behavior, such as frequency bandgaps (Kushwaha and Halevi, 1994;Mártinez-Sala et al, 1995;Liu et al, 2000;Miniaci et al, 2018a), negative refraction (Morvan et al, 2010;Zhu and Semperlotti, 2016), topological protection (Mousavi et al, 2015;Süsstrunk and Huber, 2015;Pal et al, 2016;Miniaci et al, 2018b), etc. This opened up new perspectives in many fields, ranging from microelectromechanical systems to nondestructive evaluation (Pennec et al, 2010;Craster and Guenneau, 2012;Deymier, 2013), including but not limited to wave filters, waveguiding and beam splitting, sensing devices, wave splitters, vibration shielding, subwavelength imaging (Sukhovich et al, 2009;Li et al, 2015;Trainiti et al, 2015;Colombi et al, 2016;Miniaci et al, 2016Miniaci et al, , 2017Su et al, 2016;Miniaci et al, 2019).…”
