Novel wave phenomena in classical vibrations

In this thesis, from discrete spring-mass systems to continuous elastic solids, the possibility of achieving topological phases and elastic spin-Hall effect are analytically and numerically discussed. Originating from time-reversal symmetry breaking via applying external fields, a unidirectional and...
