MEAM PhD Thesis Defense: “Dynamic Behavior of Periodic Media and Elastic Metamaterials”
Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.eduPeriodic media and resonant, acoustic/elastic metamaterials possess extraordinary frequency band gaps where no waves may propagate. In this dissertation, we leverage numerical simulations to gain insight into practical ways to effectively measure and characterize the behavior of these materials from experimental observables and also explore physical mechanisms to optimize their performance, particularly in the context […]
