Fundamentals and Applications of Acoustic MetamaterialsFrom Seismic to Radio Frequency\nAuthor(s): Vicente Romero-Garcia, Anne-Christine Hladky-Hennion\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc, United Kingdom\nImprint: ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc\nISBN-13: 9781786303363, 978-1786303363\nSynopsis\nIn 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.\n This is a training book composed of nine chapte.
