Can vibrational ‘fingerprints’ lead to high-throughput characterization of metamaterials? In our work, out in nature today, we present a non-contact framework to rapidly characterize microscale metamaterials in the dynamic regime! 🔗: nature.com/articles/s4158… MIT MechE Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

Using laser pump/probe schemes, we extract the full (dynamic) effective elastic tensor of metamaterials, allowing a fully experimental representation of elastic surfaces as well as quantifying dynamic stiffening.

Through wave propagation in the MHz regime, we construct partial dispersion relations that enable characterization of acoustic metamaterials, also identifying anisotropic attenuation of these waves.

Leveraging the richness of responses, we demonstrate this framework as a route to quantify ‘invisible’ defects in microscopic components/materials. Two common defect types at these scales result in quantifiable defect densities in each.

Last but not least, huge congrats to team members Yun Kai 凯韵 , Somayajulu Dhulipala, Rachel Sun, and J. Lem for turning this framework into reality, along with collaborators T.Pezeril and W.DeLima. Exciting path ahead in dynamics & ultrasound w/ metamaterials!

Excited to share our efforts on placement of inertia within 3D metamaterials towards tunable elastodynamic properties at the microscale. ❓Could a single-material 3D architecture attain widely tunable dynamic properties without altering static behaviors? science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
