Go beyond conventional materials.
This book presents the most recent theoretical developments and numerical/experiment
al 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/absorpti
on, extraordinary transmission, wave broadband mitigation, wave steering, cloaking via the transformation method, optimization of phononic crystals, and active acoustic metamaterials.
