Ultrabroadband sound control with deep-subwavelength plasmacoustic metalayers

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Hervé Lissek, Stanislav Sergeev

Controlling audible sound requires inherently broadband and subwavelength acoustic solutions, which are to date, crucially missing. This includes current noise absorption methods, such as porous materials or acoustic resonators, which are typically ineffic ...

Computational Design of Flexible Planar Microstructures

Mark Pauly, Francis Julian Panetta, Tian Chen, Christopher Brandt, Jean Jouve

Mechanical metamaterials enable customizing the elastic properties of physical objects by altering their fine-scale structure. A broad gamut of effective material properties can be produced even from a single fabrication material by optimizing the geometry ...

Active acoustic resonators with reconfigurable resonance frequency, absorption, and bandwidth

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Hervé Lissek, Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet, Theodoros Koutserimpas

Acoustic resonators play a key role in the development of subwavelength-sized technologies capable of interacting with airborne audible sound, from its emission and absorption to its manipulation and processing. Specifically, artificial acoustic media made ...

Active Acoustic Resonators and their Applications to Loss-Immune, Reconfigurable, or Dynamic Metamaterials

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury

Locally-resonant sonic metamaterials refer to synthetic acoustic matter composed of artificial acoustic “atoms”, generally passive, and of subwavelength sizes, that are capable of resonantly interacting with an external acoustic wave, and manipulate it in ...

Active Times for Acoustic Metamaterials

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Farzad Zangeneh Nejad

Initially proposed to achieve strong noise isolation levels beyond the mass-density law, acoustic metamaterials (AMMs) have now overturned the conventional views in all aspects of sound propagation and manipulation. In fact, within the last two decades, th ...
