Acoustic Metamaterials: Absorption, Cloaking, Imaging, Time-Modulated Media, and Topological Crystals, Edition 2
About this ebook
For this revised edition, six new chapters have been introduced to reflect recent developments in experimental acoustics and metasurfaces including acoustic impedance gratings and mirror symmetric metamaterials, phononic subsurfaces, time-modulated and topological crystals. The latter two are illustrated by simple Python program examples.
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 researchers in physics, applied mathematics and mechanical engineering, and a valuable reference for those working in metamaterials and related areas.
About the author
Richard Craster is Professor of Applied Mathematics at Imperial College. He has research interests across a broad spectrum of fluid mechanics and elasticity (fracture mechanics, diffraction theory, wave phenomena, applied complex analysis, Newtonian thin-layer theories, viscoplasticity, guided elastic waves, and waves in microstructured media) and is involved in their applications in engineering and physics.
Dr Sébastien Guenneau is a Reader in Physics at Imperial College and a member of the CNRS-Imperial Abraham de Moivre International Research Laboratory. He previously held some positions as a lecturer in the department of mathematical sciences at Liverpool University and as a CNRS researcher at the Fresnel Institute of Aix-Marseille Université. His research focusses on acoustic, mechanical and thermal metamaterials, with a special emphasis on topological and time-modulated periodic and quasiperiodic media.
