Transmission properties of modulated origami phononic structure at dirac points (Conference Presentation)

Inspired by the presence of a Dirac cone in the band structure of graphene, researches have studied and produced phononic crystals with Dirac-like behaviors. Using Dirac physics, researchers have developed topological systems, zero-index materials, and one-way wave propagation. However, the interesting phenomena produced by these structures produce narrow band results and are difficult to physically implement. Using a reconfigurable origami structure, this research aims to illuminate the effects of phononic lattice perturbation on lattice degeneracies.
