Symmetry and resonant modes in platonic grating stacks

SG Haslinger, AB Movchan, NV Movchan… - Waves in Random …, 2014 - Taylor & Francis
We study the flexural wave modes existing in finite stacks of gratings containing rigid, zero-
radius pins. We group the modes into even and odd classes, and derive dispersion …

Bridging waves on a membrane: An approach to preserving wave patterns

P Wootton, J Kaplunov - Modern Trends in Structural and Solid …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
This chapter introduces a novel metamaterial intended to “bridge” a gap between two
membranes using a periodic array of strings, with the aim of identically reproducing an …

[PDF][PDF] Mathematical modelling of flexural waves in structured elastic plates

S Haslinger - 2014 - core.ac.uk
This thesis discusses properties of flexural waves in thin elastic plates that incorporate a
structured system of gratings of defects. The defects may take the form of inclusions or …

Control and suppression of elastic waves using periodic metasurfaces and bridges

PT Wootton - 2020 - keele-repository.worktribe.com
This thesis discusses how wave propagation in continuous linearly elastic media can be
controlled or suppressed using periodic structures. This involves controlling 2D waves on a …
