Inverse design of reconfigurable piezoelectric topological phononic plates

We present a methodology to perform inverse design of reconfigurable topological insulators for flexural waves in plate-like structures. A genetic algorithm based topology optimization method is developed and a C6v plate unit cell topology that offers twofold degeneracy in the band structure is desi...
