Review of phononic crystals and acoustic metamaterials by Chen, Qiqi, Zhang, Bo, Bai, Yutian, Wang, Liheng, M. R. M., Rejab

“…Similarly, a "metamaterial" has been proposed for the ability to achieve new vibration reduction and noise reduction, which is a composite structure or material with physical properties not available in natural materials. By analysing the acoustic metamaterials of various structures, in this work we can understand how to achieve vibration reduction and noise reduction under the local resonance mechanism.…”
