contents Elastic wave dispersion is studied in an octet truss lattice and compared with a designed rib lattice known to exhibit strong Cosserat elastic effects. Dispersion entails variation of wave speed with frequency. The phenomenon is experimentally investigated by exciting standing waves in specimens of different length at discrete frequencies. At lower frequencies corresponding to long wavelengths, wave propagation is classically non-dispersive. As wavelength approaches a small multiple of the rib length, dispersion is observed. The material exhibited cut-off frequencies above which no signals were propagated. The physical origin of the dispersion and cut-off is resonance of the ribs. Interpreted as micromorphic continua, cellular solid behavior reveals elastic constants associated with flexibility of the unit cell in comparison with that of the overall material.
