Concept: Acoustic Wave Phenomena Research
Chirality affects microcritical, not macrocritical, stability
How joint design controls failure modes in periodic metamaterials
Thermal tuning enables directional broadband acoustic absorption
Temperature tunes sound absorption without changing the material structure
Nonreciprocal stiffness and damping decouple wave control in elastic lattices
How nonreciprocal stiffness and damping can be independently tuned for directional wave control
Optimized tunable acoustic switch uses asymmetric scatterers
Balancing acoustic insulation and transmission in low-frequency sound control
Outer-ligament design increases stiffness and broadens bandgaps
New metamaterial designs achieve stronger stiffness and wider sound-blocking properties
Beam integration reduced low-frequency impact sound in CLT floors
Adding beams to wood floors significantly reduces noise from footsteps and jumping
