Abstract

Phononic crystals (PCs) and metamaterials (MMs) have emerged as innovative platforms for manipulating acoustic and elastic waves through tailored microstructures. However, their adaptability to dynamic environments is limited due to the conventionally fixed properties after fabrication, leading to the growing demand for tunable and reconfigurable structures. Phase transitions offer a promising mechanism to enable significant variations in the properties of PCs and MMs. Nevertheless, a comprehensive review of the phase transition-enabled strategies is urgently needed to summarize current advancements and guide future developments. This review systematically assesses recent theoretical and experimental progress in phase transition-based PCs and MMs, focusing on material systems including shape memory alloys (SMAs), shape memory polymers (SMPs), ferroelectric materials, and liquid-solid phase-change materials (PCMs). Key mechanisms are elaborated, including martensitic transitions, glass transitions, ferroelectric phase transitions, and solid-liquid phase transitions in various PCMs. Building on these mechanisms, state-of-the-art design strategies for enabling active wave manipulation and novel functional behaviors, employing SMA-based systems, SMP-based systems, ferroelectric phase-change systems, and solid-liquid phase-change systems, are critically reviewed. In addition, advanced modeling and fabrication techniques to predict the material properties of PCMs and fabricate desired structures are comprehensively discussed. Finally, future perspectives are highlighted to provide detailed guidelines for developing high-performance PCs and MMs.

基于相变的可调谐声子晶体和超材料研究进展

声子晶体（pc）和超材料（mm）已经成为通过定制微结构操纵声波和弹性波的创新平台。然而，由于制造后传统的固定特性，它们对动态环境的适应性受到限制，导致对可调谐和可重构结构的需求不断增长。相变提供了一种很有前途的机制，使pc和mm的特性发生显著变化。然而，迫切需要对相变战略进行全面审查，以总结当前的进展并指导未来的发展。本文系统地评估了基于相变的pc和mm的最新理论和实验进展，重点介绍了材料系统，包括形状记忆合金（SMAs）、形状记忆聚合物（SMPs）、铁电材料和液固相变材料（PCMs）。详细阐述了各种pcm的主要机制，包括马氏体相变、玻璃相变、铁电相变和固液相变。在这些机制的基础上，采用基于sma的系统、基于smp的系统、铁电相变系统和固液相变系统，对实现有源波操纵和新颖功能行为的最新设计策略进行了严格的审查。此外，先进的建模和制造技术，以预测材料性能的pcm和制造所需的结构进行了全面的讨论。最后，强调了未来的观点，为开发高性能pc和mm提供了详细的指导方针。

期刊介绍： Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses. Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering. The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
