Popis: Admittedly, the design requirements of compactness, low frequency, and broadband seem to constitute an impossible trinity, hindering the further development of elastic metamaterials (EMMs) in wave shielding engineering. To break through these constraints, we propose theoretical combinations of effective parameters for wave isolation based on the propagation properties of Lamb waves in the EMM layer. Accordingly, we design compact EMMs with a novel ultralow-frequency bandgap, and the role of auxeticity in the dissociation between the dipole mode and the toroidal dipole mode is clearly revealed. Finally, under the guidance of the improved gradient design, we integrate multiple bandgaps to assemble metamaterial barriers (MMBs) for broadband wave isolation. In particular, the original configuration is further optimized and its ultralow-frequency and broadband performance are proven by transmission tests. It is foreseeable that our work will provide a meaningful reference for the application of the new EMMs in disaster prevention and protection engineering.
