报告摘要:

Biological and artificial machinery systems have utilized the approach made by sensing, actuating, and information processing to adapt themselves to environmental changes, maintain dynamic equilibrium, and execute particular functions. Examples include octopuses that change their colors and shapes according to environments, a warm of ants that transport foods, smart thermostats, to self-driving cars. In this talk, we present how to take advantage of this approach to construct active mechanical metamaterials for enabling a range of unprecedent wave phenomena. The active mechanical metamaterials are composed of piezoelectric sensors and actuators connected with digital electronic circuits. The electrical degrees of freedom implemented allow for precisely and independently modulating mechanical properties through electromechanical coupling in the metamaterial. By means of theory, numerical simulations and experiments, we systematically demonstrate broadband wave mitigation, independently wave transmission and reflection control and odd micropolar elasticity for achieving non-Hermitian skin effects.
