Extreme energy absorption : the design, modeling, and testing of negative stiffness metamaterial inclusions

A persistent challenge in the design of composite materials is the ability to fabricate materials that simultaneously display high stiffness and high loss factors for the creation of structural elements capable of passively suppressing vibro-acoustic energy. Relevant recent research has shown that i...
