A unified analytic model for effective mass density, effective bulk modulus, and effective
shear modulus is presented for elastic metamaterials composed of coated spheres …

In this paper, we numerically and experimentally study the waveguiding of Lamb modes in a
thin plate with a periodic stubbed surface and propose a frequency-selection method based …

To meet the demand of modern acoustic absorbing material for which acoustic absorbing
frequency region can be readily tailored, we introduced woodpile structure into locally …

To determine the flexural vibration band gaps in periodic beams, the theoretical equations
are derived by employing the Bloch–Floquet theorem and then solved by the use of the …

The phase constant surfaces of two-dimensional phononic crystals consisting of steel
cylinders in water are calculated to predict the directivity of acoustic wave propagation. A …

The resonance modes and the related effects to the transmission of elastic waves in a two
dimensional phononic crystal formed by periodic arrangements of a two block unit cell in …

Composite materials with interpenetrating network structures usually exhibit unexpected
merit due to the cooperative interaction. Locally resonant phononic crystals (LRPC) exhibit …

The expression of the localization factor in the two-dimensional periodic systems is derived
based on the plane-wave expansion, transfer matrix and matrix eigenvalue methods. A …

In this thesis, we demonstrate the existence of complete band gaps and the propagation of
locally resonant modes in a phononic plate with periodic membranes both numerically and …

1. Introduction In the pastdecade, exceptional propertiesof elastic wave propagationwere
foundto exist in the man-madc periodicheterogencousstructures due to the characteristics of …
