We extend the multiple-scattering theory for elastic waves by taking into account the full
vector character. The formalism for both the band structure calculation and the reflection and …

Using multiple-scattering theory, we consider the elastic wave band-gap properties of three-
component composites consisting of a periodic arrangement of coated spheres inside an …

We present a review, through selected illustrative examples, of the physics of classical
vibrational modes in phononic lattices, which elaborates on the theory, the formalism, the …

The propagation of longitudinal and transverse elastic waves oblique or perpendicular to the
laminations of infinite periodically layered fourfold system is studied. Comprehensive study …

We propose a new type of concrete for the attenuation of elastic waves induced by dynamic
excitation. In this metamaterial, which we call metaconcrete, the stone, sand, and gravel …

The propagation of longitudinal elastic waves in quasi one-dimensional structure consisting
of harmonic oscillators periodically jointed on a slender beam is studied. Sub-frequency …

Ternary locally resonant metamaterial (LRM) is a manmade material consisting of rigorously
designed heavy inclusions with coated soft layer. Such design enables the LRM to possess …

A new type of modified concrete, termed metaconcrete, has been shown to exhibit trap**
of wave energy and a reduction in mortar stress when subjected to dynamic loading …

A new type of concrete, named metaconcrete, has been developed for the attenuation of
shock waves induced by dynamic excitation. Inspired by the metamaterials used for the …

A novel methodology is proposed in this paper to design polymer matrix with particles for
protecting against the blast wave. Through the adoption of vibration analysis, two kinds of …
