摘要
Trivial elastic waveguides induced by line defects and nontrivial elastic waveguides protected by topological edge states have been extensively examined in planar waveguide systems.Despite these investigations,little is known about topologically protected bulk states and their resulting robust transmission properties,especially in nonplanar elastic waveguides with folded,curved,and twisted surfaces.Elastic Dirac waveguides with robust boundary-induced bulk states are presented.These states arise from the truncated boundaries of bulks with linear Dirac conical dispersions,differing from topologically protected edge states ensured by the bulk-edge correspondence.Experimental proof is provided,in which boundary-induced bulk states show robustly high-throughput transmissions along the waveguides,even with folded,curved,and twisted surfaces.These results not only open up new avenues for examining novel topological phenomena about bulk but also offer new platforms for developing topological devices with nonplanar surfaces.
