Journal ArticleDOI
A lightweight vibro-acoustic metamaterial demonstrator: Numerical and experimental investigation
TL;DR: In this article, a hollow core periodic sandwich structure with added local resonant structures is proposed for low-frequency bands, which can be applied to combine light weight, compact volume and good acoustic behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI
The wave based method: An overview of 15 years of research
Elke Deckers,Onur Atak,Laurens Coox,Roberto D'Amico,Hendrik Devriendt,Stijn Jonckheere,Kunmo Koo,Bert Pluymers,Dirk Vandepitte,Wim Desmet +9 more
TL;DR: An overview of the current state of the art of the Wave Based Method, a comparison of the properties of the wave functions and element-based prediction techniques, application areas, extensions to the method such as hybrid and multi-level approaches and the most recent developments are given.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the impact of damping on the dispersion curves of a locally resonant metamaterial: Modelling and experimental validation
TL;DR: In this article, a unit cell method including damping is used to analyse the complex dispersion curves of a locally resonant metamaterial design, and the influence on the dispersion curve of damping in resonator and host structure is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and validation of metamaterials for multiple structural stop bands in waveguides
TL;DR: In this paper, various metamaterial layouts for reducing vibrations along a known transmission path, being a duct with a square section, were evaluated and compared both numerically and experimentally.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probability that a band-gap extremum is located on the irreducible Brillouin-zone contour for the 17 different plane crystallographic lattices
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the danger of restricting a band-gap detection to the contour of the Brillouin zone (BZ) instead of its full IBZ and show that the IBZ contour provides accurate results only for highly symmetric lattices.
