Although our understanding of wave phenomena has come a\u0000long way since the earliest observations of desert dunes or ocean waves, the\u0000unimpeded development of mathematics has enabled ever more complex and exotic\u0000physical phenomena to be comprehensively described. Here, we take wave\u0000manipulation a step further by introducing an unprecedented synthetic acoustic\u0000crystal capable of realizing simultaneous linear broadband conduction and\u0000nonlinear topological insulation, depicting a robust amplitude-dependent mode\u0000localized deep within - i.e. an amplitude-driven topological confinement of\u0000sound. The latter is achieved by means of an open acoustic waveguide lined with\u0000a chain of nonlocally and nonlinearly coupled active electroacoustic\u0000resonators. Starting from a comprehensive topological model for classical\u0000waves, we demonstrate that different topological regimes can be accessed by\u0000increasing driving amplitude and that topological robustness against coupling\u0000disorder is a direct consequence of symmetric and simultaneous response between\u0000coupled resonators. Theoretical predictions are validated by a fully\u0000programmable experimental apparatus capable of realizing the real-time\u0000manipulation of metacrystal properties. In all, our results provide a solid\u0000foundation for future research in the design and manipulation of classical\u0000waves in artificial materials involving nonlinearity, nonlocality, and\u0000non-hermiticity.","PeriodicalId":501083,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Applied Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142177834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
