We investigate the complex band structure and forced response of flexural waves
propagating in an elastic metamaterial thick plate. Mindlin-Reissner thick plate theory is …

Low-and mid-frequency range vibrations usually present issues in their insulation. The
development of periodic metamaterials (artificially engineered structures) has been …

In this work, a novel Fourier series expansion is proposed for representing periodic three-
dimensional metamaterials consisting of spherical inclusions in a cubic lattice, which allows …

Periodic media have been shown to exhibit wave attenuation in frequency ranges called
band gaps. The challenge is designing feasible periodic structures that present total band …

This paper investigates a metamaterial solution for efficient vibration attenuation and
acoustic radiation reduction of an aluminum pipe. To this end, using unit cell predictions …

This work presents an effective isogeometric shape optimization approach for finding and
widening the phononic band gaps of single-phase Mindlin plate structures. As the single …

This article presents a numerical analysis to investigate the natural frequencies and
harmonic response of a perforated cantilever beam attached to two layers of piezoelectric …

Metamaterials have become a topic of considerable interest in the scientific and engineering
communities in recent decades. Such artificially designed structures offer innovative …

RESUMO O principal objetivo dessa tese é investigar o comportamento da propagação de
ondas em metamateriais periódicos, com foco na comparação entre diferentes opções de …

This paper investigates the wave propagation in one-dimensional periodic structures made
up of cells/substructures with inclusions of viscoelastic materials and heavy materials. Such …
