The introduction of engineered resonance phenomena on surfaces has opened a new
frontier in surface science and technology. Pillared phononic crystals, metamaterials, and …

The study of phononic materials and structures is an emerging discipline that lies at the
crossroads of vibration and acoustics engineering and condensed matter physics. Broadly …

The authors study the propagation of flexural waves in a locally resonant (LR) thin plate
made of a two-dimensional periodic array of spring–mass resonators attached on a thin …

This paper is concerned with flexural wave propagation and vibration transmission in beams
with periodically attached vibration absorbers. Such periodic systems feature unique wave …

This paper is concerned with sound transmission loss of metamaterial-based thin plates
consisting of multiple subwavelength arrays of spring–mass resonators attached to an …

The Acoustic Black Hole (ABH) effect can be used to effectively reduce structural vibrations
by trapping flexural waves in a thin-walled structure with a power-law thickness variation. In …

In order to enhance the vibration reduction capacity in a wide frequency range, a novel
acoustic metamaterial beam with periodically variable cross-sections is designed by …

The plane wave expansion method is extended to study the flexural wave propagation in
locally resonant beams with multiple periodic arrays of attached spring-mass resonators …

The potential of applying stop bands to decrease the vibrational response of panels is
investigated. A thorough comparison between interference based stop bands and …

We investigate wave motion in a continuous elastic rod with a periodically attached inertial-
amplification mechanism. The mechanism has properties similar to an “inerter” typically …
