Overview

The revised edition of this book offers an expanded review of acoustic metamaterials—novel materials that can manipulate sound waves in surprising ways, including collimation, focusing, cloaking, sonic screening, and extraordinary transmission. Building on the success of the first edition, which was cited over 600 times and translated into Chinese, this new edition covers both experimental and theoretical aspects of acoustic and elastic waves propagating in structured composites. It emphasizes effective properties associated with negative refraction, lensing, and cloaking. Updated chapters discuss filtering effects, extraordinary transmission, sub-wavelength imaging via tomography or time-reversal techniques, cloaking via transformation acoustics, elastodynamics, and acoustic scattering cancellation. 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 and topological crystals. With its broad scope, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in acoustic metamaterials research and highlights future directions and applications. It serves as an excellent introduction for advanced students and a valuable reference for professionals working in metamaterials and related fields.

Author Information

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.
