Phononic crystals are composite materials made of periodic distributions of inclusions
embedded in a matrix. Due to their periodic structure, these materials may exhibit under …

The large amount of light emitted from a light emitting diode (LED) being trapped inside the
semiconductor structure is the consequence of the large value of the refractive index. The …

" The art of structure is where to put the holes" Robert Le Ricolais, 1894-1977 This is a
completely revised, updated and expanded version of the book titled" Optimization of …

Phononic band–gap materials prevent elastic waves in certain frequency ranges from
propagating, and they may therefore be used to generate frequency filters, as beam splitters …

The vibrational response of finite periodic lattice structures subjected to periodic loading is
investigated. Special attention is devoted to the response in frequency ranges with gaps in …

Experimental measurements of acoustic transmission through a solid-solid two-dimensional
binary-composite medium constituted of a triangular array of parallel circular steel cylinders …

The concept of modular metamaterials and a machine learning-based method are
introduced in this Letter. The method starts from selection of the structural bases based on …

This article presents the design and modeling techniques and design guidelines, and
reveals the actual working mechanism of acoustic metamaterial plates for elastic wave …

The finite-difference time-domain method is applied to the calculation of dispersion relations
of acoustic waves in two-dimensional (2D) phononic lattices, ie, periodic solid-solid, solid …

Acoustic band gap (ABG) materials constituted of steel hollow cylinders immersed in water
can exhibit a tunable narrow pass band (NPB) located inside their gap. We theoretically …
