Elastic Waves and Metamaterials: The Fundamentals

This book serves as an introductory text for students and engineers with limited knowledge of metamaterials (and elastic waves).

This text begins with the most straightforward vibrating systems, such as single and 2-DOF spring-mass systems. It examines the observed phenomena in 2-DOF systems in an unconventional manner to prepare the reader for research on metamaterials. After presenting wave phen...
