Recently, this concept has been extended to acoustic systems to obtain nonbackscattering soundpropagations. However, previous demonstrations are limited by the cut-of frequency of 2D waveguides and lattice-scale sizerestrictions since the topological edge states originate from Bragg interference. Here we engineer topologically valley-projected edgestates in the form of spoof surface acoustic waves that confne along the surface of a subwavelength honeycomb lattice composedof 330-mL soda cans. Te inversion symmetry is broken through injecting a certain amount of water into one of the two cansin each unit cell, which gaps the Dirac cone and ultimately leads to the topological valley-Hall phase transition. Dual-frequencyranges of the valley-projected edge states below the sound line are observed, which originate from the frst-order and second-orderresonances, respectively. Tese results have the potential to enable promising routes to design integrated acoustic devices based onvalley-contrasting physics.8engCopyright © 2019 Zhiwang Zhang et al.
