The concept of metamaterials originates from the proposal of left-hand materials with
negative refractive index, followed by which, varieties of metamaterials with kinds of fantastic …

The study of phononic materials and structures is an emerging discipline that lies at the
crossroads of vibration and acoustics engineering and condensed matter physics. Broadly …

Phononic crystal is a type of artificial heterogeneous material constituted by a periodic
repetition of cells. This characteristic provides a possible solution to the accurate …

Metasurfaces with subwavelength thicknesses have exhibited unconventional phenomena
in ways that could not be mimicked by traditional materials. Here we report on the analytical …

The effective operation of certain electronic, medical, industrial, and testing equipment relies
on high-quality focusing and imaging capability, which also plays a vital role in the field of …

Phononic crystals (PnCs) are novel synthetic periodic materials for controlling and
manipulating the propagation of elastic (or acoustic) waves. The periodic nature of PnCs …

For classical waves such as light or sound, diffraction sets a natural limit on how finely the
details of an object can be recorded on its image. Recently, various optical superlenses …

Acoustic metamaterials can manipulate sound waves in surprising ways, which include
collimation, focusing, cloaking, sonic screening and extraordinary transmission …

Similar to their optic counterparts, acoustic components are anticipated to flexibly tailor the
propagation of sound. However, the practical applications, eg for audible sound with large …

With Over 60 tables, most with graphic illustration, and over 1000 formulas, Formulas for
Dynamics, Acoustics, and Vibration will provide an invaluable time-saving source of concise …
