description Metamaterials enable the modulation of elastic waves or acoustic waves in unprecedented ways and have a wide range of potential applications. This paper achieves the simultaneous manipulation of surface elastic waves (SEWs) and surface acoustic waves (SAWs) using two-dimensional acousto-elastic metamaterials (AEMMs). The proposed AEMMs are composed of periodic hollow cylinders on the surface of a semi-infinite substrate. The band diagrams and the frequency responses of the AEMMs are numerically calculated through the finite element approach. The band diagrams exhibit simultaneous bandgaps for the SEWs and SAWs, which can also be effectively tuned by the modification of AEMM geometry. Furthermore, we construct the AEMM waveguide by the introduction of a line defect and hence demonstrate its ability to guide the SEWs and SAWs simultaneously. We expect that the proposed AEMMs will contribute to the development of multi-functional wave devices, such as filters for dual waves in microelectronics or liquid sensors that detect more than one physical property.
