Soft magnetoactive metamaterials for remote tunability of elastic waves

Objective

"Due to striking advantages such as rapid response and reversible change in the shape and properties under remotely applied magnetic fields, soft magnetoactive materials have become an attractive material platform for human-technology interfaces, soft robotics, actuators and sensors, and biomedical devices. However, a systematic understanding of their dynamic behaviors in the extreme regime is still lacking, creating a bottleneck to innovation and limiting their tremendous potential in nondestructive testing, energy harvesting, and smart soft wave devices.

MetaMagic aims at developing an experimentally-informed framework to design and discover novel Soft Magnetoactive Metamaterial systems with tunable and unusual elastic wave characteristics beyond the wavelength limit, with a view to industrial applications in the design of smart wave manipulation devices. The project proposes to exploit the Unique Transformative Ability of soft magnetoactive materials integrated into the Neat Metamaterial Design incorporating the local resonance and topological phase transition, polar and asymmetric, and nonlinear vector solitary effects.

The action mixes ad-hoc theoretical modelling with experimental tests and numerical simulations, by fully leveraging the host and secondment institutions' expertise and facilities, and experience in scientific management. The training programme is structured to strengthen my interdisciplinary skills and will allow me to grow as a world-class leader in the emerging field of tunable and reconfigurable metamaterials.

The output of this action will open new levels of performance in a variety of advanced applications, from broadband vibration isolation at challenging low-frequency ranges to robust energy harvesting with ultra-high transmission rates. Ultimately, MetaMagic will advance the frontier of knowledge about reconfigurable soft metamaterials – contributing to Horizon Europe's policy and strategy in the key area of ""Advanced Materials""."
