چکیده
We will review some of the recent advances in the field of acoustic and elastic metamaterials. These research fields became hot topics in last few years with an increasing number of papers that grows almost exponentially. The interest on these artificial structures arouses because of their potential application in designing novel devices for sound and vibration control. Their applications cover a broad spectrum such as noise attenuation, medical imaging, ultrahigh focusing or vibration isolation.

Introduction to the special issue on acoustic metamaterials.
The field of acoustic metamaterials is a relatively new topic in applied physics that has broad appeal in the scientific community because of the potential for realizing physical phenomena that had previously been deemed impossible. Acoustic metamaterials have been proposed to achieve both exotic behavior, such as acoustic cloaks and sub-wavelength resolution acoustic lenses, and to enhance eng...
متن کاملDissipative elastic metamaterials for broadband wave mitigation at subwavelength scale
In this paper, an elastic metamaterial with multiple dissipative resonators is presented for broadband wave mitigation by properly utilizing interactions from resonant motions and viscoelastic effects of the constitutive material. The working mechanism of the metamaterial to suppress broadband waves is clearly revealed in a dissipative mass-in-mass lattice system through both negative effective...
متن کاملAcoustic metamaterials: From local resonances to broad horizons
Within a time span of 15 years, acoustic metamaterials have emerged from academic curiosity to become an active field driven by scientific discoveries and diverse application potentials. This review traces the development of acoustic metamaterials from the initial findings of mass density and bulk modulus frequency dispersions in locally resonant structures to the diverse functionalities afford...
متن کاملAcoustic metamaterials for new two-dimensional sonic devices
It has been shown that two-dimensional arrays of rigid or fluidlike cylinders in a fluid or a gas define, in the limit of large wavelengths, a class of acoustic metamaterials whose effective parameters (sound velocity and density) can be tailored up to a certain limit. This work goes a step further by considering arrays of solid cylinders in which the elastic properties of cylinders are taken i...
متن کاملAcoustic cloaking transformations from attainable material properties
We propose a general methodology and a set of practical recipes for the construction of ultra-broadband acoustic cloaks—structures that can render themselves and a concealed object undetectable by means of acoustic scattering. The acoustic cloaks presented here are designed and function analogously to electromagnetic cloaks. However, acoustic cloaks in a fluid medium do not suffer the bandwidth...
