Symposium Technical Description

This symposium is intended to bring together researchers and engineers from universities, government laboratories and industry to discuss research ideas and recent findings in these topics.  Phononic crystals and acoustic/elastic metamaterials are composite/non-uniform materials within which periodic, or generally spatially dependent, elastic or acoustic properties are engineered to achieve exceptional control over wave propagation. Typically phononic crystals exhibit unique wave propagation characteristics at wavelengths comparable to the size of the unit cell’s period where Bragg effects from multiple scattering create frequency band gaps that can be exploited. Acoustic/elastic metamaterials use local resonances, and/or other unique elastic and/or inertial properties, to achieve large variations in effective material parameters. These traits are being increasingly utilized for the realization of materials with negative effective modulus/ mass density, negative index of refraction, enhanced dissipation, among others. Both phononic crystals and metamaterials have fundamental implications to a wide range of applications including focusing, imaging, thermal transport, flow control, and noise/vibration control based on interferences, resonances and possibly other phenomena.

Topics solicited include, but are not limited to:

  • elastic/acoustic wave propagation phenomena such as band-gap formation,
  • wave localization,
  • waveguides,
  • negative refraction,
  • focusing,
  • nonlinearity/damping,
  • homogenization,
  • topological acoustics,
  • nonreciprocal systems.
  • active and passive phononic crystals and metamaterials

Research studies may be experimental, theoretical, and/or numerical in nature and can address efforts to understand the dynamics of these materials and/or the development of design and fabrication techniques
