Classical vibrational modes in phononic lattices: Theory and experiment

Abstract

We present a review, through selected illustrative examples, of the physics of classical vibrational modes in phononic lattices, which elaborates on the theory, the formalism, the methods, and mainly on the numerical and experimental results related to phononic crystals. Most of the topics addressed here, are written in a self-consistent way and they can be read as independent individual parts. © by Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag.
