Acoustic metamaterials offer exceptional control over wave propagation, but their potential remains unfulfilled due to fabrication constraints. Conventional processes yield mostly rigid, planar structures, whereas soft-matter alternatives…
Phononic crystals and acoustic metamaterials are architected lattices designed to control the propagation of acoustic or elastic waves. In these materials, the dispersion properties and the energy transfer are controlled by selecting the…
In solid state physics, a bandgap (BG) refers to a range of energies where no electronic states can exist. This concept was extended to classical waves, spawning the entire fields of photonic and phononic crystals where BGs are frequency…
Mitigating low-frequency vibration or noise is of vital importance to both human health and mechanical engineering. Two-dimensional phononic crystal (PC) structures were proposed by attaching rubber and metallic cylinders on one or both…

Wave reflection and refraction at a time interface follow different conservation laws compared to conventional scattering at a spatial interface. This study presents the experimental demonstration of refraction and reflection of flexural…
Acoustic black holes represent a special class of metastructures allowing efficient absorption based on the slow sound principle. The decrease of the wave speed is associated with the spatial variation of acoustic impedance, while the…
Elastic metamaterials are man-made structures with properties that transcend naturally occurring materials. One predominant feature of elastic metamaterials is locally resonant bandgaps, i.e., frequency ranges at which wave propagation is…

Phononic crystals and metamaterials take advantage of pre-designed geometrical structures to sculpt elastic waves, controlling their dispersion using different mechanisms. These mechanisms revolve mostly around Bragg scattering (BS), local…
