Résumé

We numerically investigate the topological phase transition induced purely by disorder in a spring-mass chain. We employ two types of disorders-chiral and random types-to explore the interplay between topology and disorder. By tracking the evolution of real space topological invariants, we obtain the topological phase diagrams and demonstrate the bilateral capacity of disorder to drive topological transitions, from topologically nontrivial to trivial and vice versa. The corresponding transition is accompanied by the realization of a mechanical Topological Anderson Insulator. The findings from this study hint that the combination of disorder and topology can serve as an efficient control knob to manipulate the transfer of mechanical energy.
