Acoustic Metamaterials: Absorption, Cloaking, Imaging, Time-Modulated Media, and Topological Crystals
English
The revised edition of this book offers an expanded review of acoustic metamaterials; novel materials which can manipulate sound waves in surprising ways, which include collimation, focusing, cloaking, sonic screening and extraordinary transmission.
It covers both experimental and theoretical aspects of acoustic and elastic waves propagating in structured composites, with a focus on effective properties associated with negative refraction, lensing and cloaking. Updated chapters cover filtering effects, extraordinary transmission, sub-wavelength imaging via tomography or time-reversal techniques, cloaking via transformation acoustics, elastodynamics, and acoustic scattering cancellation.
For this revised edition, three new chapters have been introduced to reflect developments in experimental acoustics and metasurfaces, resonators atop surfaces and elastic metamaterials.
The broad scope gives the reader an overview of the state of the art in acoustic metamaterials research and an indication of future directions and applications. It will serve as a solid introduction to the field for advanced students, and a valuable reference for those working in metamaterials and related areas. See more
