Description

The revised edition of this book offers an expanded review of acoustic metamaterials; novel materials which can manipulate sound waves in surprising ways, which include collimation, focusing, cloaking, sonic screening and extraordinary transmission. It covers both experimental and theoretical aspects of acoustic and elastic waves propagating in structured composites, with a focus on effective properties associated with negative refraction, lensing and cloaking.  Updated chapters cover 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, three new chapters have been introduced to reflect developments in experimental acoustics and metasurfaces, resonators atop surfaces and elastic metamaterials. The broad scope gives the reader an overview of the state of the art in acoustic metamaterials research and an indication of future directions and applications. It will serve as a solid introduction to the field for advanced students, and a valuable reference for those working in metamaterials and related areas. 

Author Biography:

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 member of the EPSILON group at the Aix-Marseille Université Institut Fresnel, with previous positions in the department of mathematical sciences at Liverpool University and the physics department at Imperial College London. He has published over 160 research papers in Metamaterials and Photonic/Phononic Crystal Fibres, co-edited 4 books, 13 book chapters and filed 8 patents. In 2017 he is on the organisation committee of the 3rd workshop on Seismic Metamaterials in Bologna and local co-chair of the 11th International Congress on Engineered Material Platforms for Novel Wave Phenomena in Marseille.
