Mechanical metamaterials, also known as architected materials, are rationally designed
composites, aiming at elastic behaviors and effective mechanical properties beyond ('meta') …

In this paper, we review the recent advances which have taken place in the understanding
and applications of acoustic/elastic metamaterials. Metamaterials are artificially created …

An asymptotic procedure based upon a two-scale approach is developed for wave
propagation in a doubly periodic inhomogeneous medium with a characteristic length scale …

We present an application of the higher order asymptotic homogenization method (AHM) to
the study of wave dispersion in periodic composite materials. When the wavelength of a …

Since the 80's, specialists of gratings can rely on very powerful grating softwares [1-6].
These softwares are able to compute grating efficiencies for almost any kind of grating in any …

In this work, an analysis of the propagation of horizontally polarized magnetoelastic shear
waves at a loosely bonded interface between two fiber-reinforced (FRC) media is performed …

This book uses asymptotic methods to obtain simple approximate analytic solutions to
various problems within mechanics, notably wave processes in heterogeneous materials …

Metasurface, which does not exist in nature, has exhibited exotic essence on the
manipulation of both electromagnetic and acoustic waves. In this paper, the concept of …

When considering numerical acoustic or elastic wave propagation in media containing small
heterogeneities with respect to the minimum wavelength of the wavefield, being able to …

Within this work we investigate the role that the microstructure of a poroelastic material has
on the resulting elastic parameters. We are considering the effect that multiple elastic and …
