Wiley Fundamentals and Applications of Acoustic Metamaterials

Explore the transformative field of metamaterials with this comprehensive guide from Wiley. Over the last few decades, metamaterials have changed how waves are controlled in both physics and practical applications. This text examines how their extraordinary properties, including locally resonant structures with deep subwavelength band gaps, provide solutions that were previously unavailable. Learn how acoustic metamaterials serve as effective replacements for traditional treatments across several sectors. By utilizing targeted and tunable frequency ranges, these materials offer high performance with strongly reduced limitations. This book covers a wide spectrum of utility, ranging from seismic applications to radio frequency use, making it a vital resource for those studying wave propagation and advanced material science.
