Seismic Negative Belt of Acoustic Metamaterials.
An earthquake-proof seismic negative belt of an artificial seismic shadow zone is introduced. The belt is composed of acoustic materials which has one of the constituent parameter between density and modulus is negative effectively. It converts the velocity of the seismic wave imaginary, and then creates a stop-band for the seismic frequency range. The belt is an attenuator of a seismic wave that reduces the amplitude of the wave exponentially. Passing the belt underground, the seismic energy turns into sound and heat in air and the magnitude of the seismic wave is weakened to be defended by conventional method. Models of the negative density and negative modulus for engineering are suggested.

Keeping up-to-date with research can feel impossible, with papers being published faster than you'll ever be able to read them. That's where Researcher comes in: we're simplifying discovery and making important discussions happen. With over 19,000 sources, including peer-reviewed journals, preprints, blogs, universities, podcasts and Live events across 10 research areas, you'll never miss what's important to you. It's like social media, but better. Oh, and we should mention - it's free.
Researcher displays publicly available abstracts and doesn’t host any full article content. If the content is open access, we will direct clicks from the abstracts to the publisher website and display the PDF copy on our platform.
