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 …

Phononic materials are periodically arranged building blocks in the form of material
properties, geometries, and/or boundary conditions. This synthetic architecture makes …

This straightforward text, primer and reference introduces the theoretical, testing and control
aspects of structural dynamics and vibration, as practised in industry today. Written by an …

The elastodynamics of 1D periodic materials and finite structures comprising these materials
are studied with particular emphasis on correlating their frequency-dependent …

In this paper, we present theoretical formalisms for the study of wave dispersion in damped
elastic periodic materials. We adopt the well known structural dynamics techniques of modal …

The central concept in phononics is the tuning of the phonon dispersion relation, or phonon
engineering, which provides a means of controlling related properties such as group velocity …

Phononic crystals and elastic metamaterials have recently received significant attention due
to their potential for unconventional wave control. Despite this interest, one outstanding …

Often times, people ask some simple questions regarding modal analysis and how
structures vibrate. Most times, it is impossible to describe this simply and some of the basic …

Structural Acoustics and Vibration presents the modeling of vibrations of complex structures
coupled with acoustic fluids in the low and medium frequency ranges. It is devoted to …
