Low-frequency wide band-gap elastic/acoustic metamaterials using the K-damping concept
Journal Article
Antoniadis, I., Chatzi, E., Chronopoulos, D., Paradeisiotis, A., Sapountzakis, I., & Konstantopoulos, S. (in press). Low-frequency wide band-gap elastic/acoustic metamaterials using the K-damping concept

The terms “acoustic/elastic meta-materials” describe a class of periodic structures with unit cells exhibiting local resonance. This localized resonant structure has been shown to result in negative effective stiffness and/or mass at frequency ranges...
