Willis Metamaterial on a Structured Beam

Bianisotropy is common in electromagnetism whenever a cross-coupling between electric and magnetic responses exists. However, the analogous concept for elastic waves in solids, termed as Willis coupling, is more challenging to observe. It requires coupling between stress and velocity or momentum and...
