From: An active mechanical Willis meta-layer with asymmetric polarizabilities
a Image of the experimental setup of the flexural wave propagation through a Willis meta-layer in a plate with the Willis meta-layer, and reflected and transmitted regions highlighted. b–j Experimental and numerical demonstrations of the Willis meta-layer for (b-d) total wave absorption, (e-g) wave steering in the transmitted domain and (h-j) simultaneous wave focusing and steering in both transmitted and reflected domains, respectively. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
