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

Using a generalized form of Bloch's theorem, we derive the dispersion relation of a viscously
damped locally resonant metamaterial modeled as an infinite mass-in-mass lumped …

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

In this paper, we present a design of locally resonant (LR) beams using periodic arrays of
beam-like resonators (or beam-like vibration absorbers) attached to a thin homogeneous …

The propagation of surface acoustic waves in two-dimensional phononic crystals of pillars
on a surface is investigated experimentally for hexagonal and honeycomb lattice …

Three-dimensional (3D) locally resonant sonic materials (LRSMs) are studied theoretically
for purpose of optimising their sub-wavelength performance by coupling resonance and …

This paper investigates the bandgap properties of two-dimensional phononic crystal slabs
with cross-like holes by using the finite element method. The effects of the slab thickness …

Presented in this paper are study results of dispersion relationships of periodic structures
composited of concrete and rubber, from which the frequency band gap can be found. Two …

In this paper, the bandgap properties of three-dimensional holey phononic crystals with
resonators are investigated by using the finite element method. The resonators are …

In this paper, the possibility of performing severe collision avoidance maneuvers using
trajectory optimization is investigated. A two degree of freedom vehicle model was used to …
