Lattices with internal resonator defects

We consider a variety of settings involving chains with one or more defects stemming from the introduction of nodes bearing internal resonators. Motivated by experimental results in woodpile elastic lattices with one or two defects, we consider a variety of different theoretical scenarios. These include multidefect chains and their ability to transmit, reflect, and especially trap energy. Moreover, they involve defects which are spatially separated and either statically or, more effectively, dynamically enable the confinement of energy between the separated defects. Wherever possible, comparisons of the experiments with numerical simulations as well as with theoretical intuition are also offered, to provide a justification for the observed findings.
