Noise pollution has become a significant global problem in recent years. Unfortunately,
conventional acoustic materials cannot offer substantial improvements in noise reduction …

Metamaterials are rationally designed composites aiming at effective material parameters
that go beyond those of the ingredient materials. For example, negative metamaterial …

This broad review summarizes recent advances and “hot” research topics in nanophononics
and elastic, acoustic, and mechanical metamaterials based on results presented by the …

We investigate theoretically the band structure of flexural waves propagating in an elastic
metamaterial thin plate. Kirchhoff-Love thin plate theory is considered. We study the …

This paper proposes a strategy to broaden complete bandgap attenuating flexural and
longitudinal modes, and to shift them to lower frequencies by spatially folding designs …

Acoustic metamaterials (AMs) for sound wave manipulation have attracted significant
attention due to their fascinating functionalities, such as anomalous reflection/refraction …

A theoretical, numerical and experimental investigation of a low-frequency acoustic
absorber (100–600 Hz) is reported herein. The acoustic metamaterial is based on a micro …

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 …

From ultrasensitive detectors of fundamental forces to quantum networks and sensors,
mechanical resonators are enabling next‐generation technologies to operate in room …

In this study, we propose a new reconfigurable hexagonal-shaped Helmholtz resonator with
a slit in each side. Numerical and experimental investigation of a single unit cell and the …
