Nanomechanics has brought mesoscopic physics into the world of vibrations. Because
nanomechanical systems are small, fluctuations are significant, the vibrations already …

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 …

Mechanical properties of materials have long been one of the most fundamental and studied
areas of materials science for a myriad of applications. Recently, mechanical metamaterials …

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 …

An overview of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) resonators for frequency reference
and timing applications is presented. The progress made in the past few decades in design …

This paper is a review of the remarkable progress that has been made during the past few
decades in design, modeling, and fabrication of micromachined resonators. Although micro …

The book provides a comprehensive presentation of the topic of phononic and sonic
crystals, including acoustic and elastic wave propagation in homogeneous and periodic …

This paper presents a comprehensive review of the literature and trends on the design of
periodic microstructural composite materials including photonic crystals (PtCs), phononic …

Using the finite element method, we have studied the acoustic properties of a novel
phononic crystal (PC) structure constructed by periodically depositing single-layer or two …

We report on the experimental study of the propagation of surface guided waves in a
periodic arrangement of pillars on a semi-infinite medium. Samples composed of nickel …
