Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201305280-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>The band structure of a phononic crystal</bold> can be controlled by tuning the mechanical stiffness of the links connecting its constituting elements. The first implementation of a phononic crystal with adaptive connectivity is obtained by using piezoelectric resonators as variable stiffness elements, and its wave‐propagation properties are experimentally characterized. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg4sr5z5s7" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
