We present a study of elastic metamaterial that possesses multiple local resonances. We demonstrated that the elastic metamaterial can have simultaneously three negative effective parameters, i.e., negative effective mass, effective bulk modulus and effective shear modulus at a certain frequency range. Through the analysis of the resonant field, it has been elucidated that the three negative parameters are induced by dipolar, monopolar and quadrupolar resonance respectively. The dipolar and monopolar resonances result into the negative band for longitudinal waves, while the dipolar and quadrupolar resonances cause the negative band for transverse waves. The two bands have an overlapping frequency regime. A simultaneously negative refraction for both longitudinal waves and transverse waves has been demonstrated in the system.

We experimentally constructed a three-dimensional flute-model molecular structure acoustic metamaterial(AM)from a periodic array of perforated hollow steel tubes (PHSTs) and investigated its transmission and reflection behaviors in impedance tube system. The AM exhibited a transmission peak and an inverse phase, thus exhibiting the local resonance of the PHSTs. Based on the homogeneous media theory, the effective bulk modulus and mass density of the AM were calculated to be simultaneously negative; the refractive index was also negative. PHST AM slab focusing experiments showed that the medium with a resonant structure exhibited a distinct metamaterial property.
Plutonium metal exhibits an anomalously large softening of its bulk modulus at elevated temperatures that is made all the more extraordinary by the finding that it occurs irrespective of whether the thermal expansion coefficient is positive, negative or zero --- representing an extreme departure from conventional Gr{u}neisen scaling. We show here that the cause of this softening is the compressibility of plutoniums thermally excited electronic configurations, which has thus far not been considered in thermodynamic models. We show that when compressible electronic configurations are thermally activated, they invariably give rise to a softening of bulk modulus regardless of the sign their contribution to the thermal expansion. The electronically driven softening of the bulk modulus is shown to be in good agreement with elastic moduli measurements performed on the gallium-stabilized $delta$ phase of plutonium over a range of temperatures and compositions, and is shown to grow rapidly at small concentrations of gallium and at high temperatures, where it becomes extremely sensitive to hydrostatic pressure.
Using molecular dynamics simulation of a standard coarse-grained polymer glass model we investigate by means of the stress-fluctuation formalism the shear modulus $mu$ as a function of temperature $T$ and sampling time $Delta t$. While the ensemble-averaged modulus $mu(T)$ is found to decrease continuously for all $Delta t$ sampled, its standard deviation $delta mu(T)$ is non-monotonous with a striking peak at the glass transition. Confirming the effective time-translational invariance of our systems, $mu(Delta t)$ can be understood using a weighted integral over the shear-stress relaxation modulus $G(t)$. While the crossover of $mu(T)$ gets sharper with increasing $Delta t$, the peak of $delta mu(T)$ becomes more singular. % It is thus elusive to predict the modulus of a single configuration at the glass transition.
A new method for direct evaluation of both crystalline structure, bulk modulus B_0, and bulk-modulus pressure derivative B_0 of solid materials with complex crystal structures is presented. The explicit and exact results presented here permit a multidimensional polynomial fit of the total energy as a function of all relevant structure parameters to simultaneously determine the equilibrium configuration and the elastic properties. The method allows for inclusion of general (internal) structure parameters, e.g., bond lengths and angles within the unit cell, on an equal footing with the unit-cell lattice parameters. The method is illustrated by the calculation of B_0 and B_0 for a few selected materials with multiple structure parameters for which data is obtained by using first-principles density functional theory.
The high frequency (instantaneous) shear modulus of three-dimensional Yukawa systems is evaluated in a wide parameter range, from the very weakly coupled gaseous state to the strongly coupled fluid at the crystallization point (Yukwa melt). This allows us to quantify how shear rigidity develops with increasing coupling and inter-particle correlations. The radial distribution functions (RDFs) needed to calculate the excess shear modulus have been obtained from extensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. MD results demonstrate that fluid RDFs appear quasi-universal on the curves parallel to the melting line of a Yukawa solid, in accordance with the isomorph theory of Roskilde-simple systems. This quasi-universality, allows to simplify considerably calculations of quantities involving integrals of the RDF (elastic moduli represent just one relevant example). The calculated reduced shear modulus grows linearly with the coupling parameter at weak coupling and approaches a quasi-constant asymptote at strong coupling. The asymptotic value at strong coupling is in reasonably good agreement with the existing theoretical approximation.
