One-Dimensional Mass-Spring Chains Supporting Elastic Waves with Non-Conventional Topology

There are two classes of phononic structures that can support elastic waves with non-conventional topology, namely intrinsic and extrinsic systems. The non-conventional topology of elastic wave results from breaking time reversal symmetry (T-symmetry) of wave propagation. In extrinsic systems, energ...
