Abstract
The present study investigates a way to design dykes which can filter the wavelengths of ocean surface waves. This offers the possibility to achieve a structure that can attenuate waves associated with storm swell, without affecting coastline in other conditions. Our approach is based on low frequency resonances in metamaterials combined with Bragg frequencies for which waves cannot propagate in periodic lattices.
