Abstract

In this paper, we demonstrate a new approach to control flexural elastic waves in a structured chiral plate. The main focus is on creating one-way interfacial wave propagation at a given frequency by employing double resonators in a doubly periodic flexural system. The resonators consist of two beams attached to gyroscopic spinners, which act to couple flexural and rotational deformations, hence inducing chirality in the system. We show that this elastic structure supports one-way flexural waves, localized at an interface separating two sub-domains with gyroscopes spinning in opposite directions, but with otherwise identical properties. We demonstrate that a special feature of double resonators is in the directional control of wave propagation by varying the value of the gyricity, while keeping the frequency of the external time-harmonic excitation fixed. Conversely, for the same value of gyricity, the direction of wave propagation can be reversed by tuning the frequency of the external excitation.
