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 …

The authors study the propagation of flexural waves in a locally resonant (LR) thin plate
made of a two-dimensional periodic array of spring–mass resonators attached on a thin …

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 …

The book provides a comprehensive presentation of the topic of phononic and sonic
crystals, including acoustic and elastic wave propagation in homogeneous and periodic …

Propagation of elastic waves in acoustic metamaterials based on locally resonant
viscoelastic phononic crystals is discussed. A variational formulation of the complex band …

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 …

In this study, we design the 3D-printed phononic crystal (PnC) beam with the topological
interface state for harvesting the mechanical energy of flexural waves. The PnC beam is …

Metamaterial-based energy harvesting (MBEH) has recently received much attention due to
its capability of amplifying input mechanical wave transferred to a piezoelectric energy …

In this paper, a tunable beam-type metamaterial composed of elastic base beams and
periodically arrayed active beam-type resonators is designed and analyzed theoretically …

This paper presents a review study on sonic crystal, their development and present status.
The paper also focuses on some of the applications of sonic crystal and numerical methods …
