Wave Manipulation in Intelligent Metamaterials: Recent Progress and Prospects

Abstract Metamaterials (MMs), which include phononic crystals (PCs) as a particular type, exhibit anomalous wave propagation properties through artificial design of topologies or lattice forms of unit‐cells. Recent advancements in MMs signify an ascendant research trend, providing promising design ideas and means for unprecedented wave propagation properties. The imperative for on‐demand, real‐time active control of wave propagation underscores the significance of tunable manipulation of acoustic/elastic waves, promoting the design and development of tunable MMs. Furthermore, the versatility of intelligent materials and their ongoing development and innovation contribute significantly to the emergence of…
