In the last few decades, metamaterials have revolutionized the ways in which waves are controlled, and applied in physics and practical situations. The extraordinary properties of metamaterials, such as their locally resonant structure with deep subwavelength band gaps and their ranges of frequency where propagation is impossible, have opened the way to a host of applications that were previously unavailable. Acoustic metamaterials have been able to replace traditional treatments in several sectors, due to their better performance in targeted and tunable frequency ranges with strongly reduced dimensions.
This is a training book composed of nine chapters written by experts in the field, giving a broad overview of acoustic metamaterials and their uses. The book is divided into three parts, covering the state-of-the-art, the fundamentals and the real-life applications of acoustic metamaterials.
Vicente Romero-García is a CNRS researcher at Laboratoire d’Acoustique de l’Université du Mans (LAUM), France. He is the leader of the research axis “Metamaterials” at LAUM and “Metamaterials for audible sound” at the GdR META.
Anne-Christine Hladky-Hennion is a principal scientist at the CNRS and at the Institute of Electronics, Microelectronics and Nanotechnology (IEMN), France. Her main research interests are phononic structures and acoustic metamaterials. She was the director of the GdR META.
