Wave and vibration analysis of elastic metamaterial and phononic crystal beams with slowly varying properties

Wave Motion Fabro A.T., Beli D., Ferguson N.S., Arruda J.R.F. & Mace B.R. Periodic structures have been designed to exhibit elastic wave propagation band gap with various applications in passive noise and vibration control. However, the manufacturing process causes material and geometry uncertainties that can drastically change their attenuation performance. In this work, a spectral …
