Theory and Design of Acoustic Metamaterials

by P Frank Pai, Guoliang Huang (Editor)

This book presents the most recent theoretical developments and numerical/experimental validations of new metamaterials and phononic crystals for the broadband absorption of elastic waves and vibrations in structures. These nine chapters explore many aspects of phononic crystals and acoustic/elastic metamaterials, including sound attenuation/absorption, extraordinary transmission, wave broadband mitigation, wave steering, cloaking via the transformation method, optimization of phononic crystals, and active acoustic metamaterials.
