Download or read book Manipulation of Sound Properties by Acoustic Metasurface and Metastructure written by Jiajun Zhao and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-06 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis focuses on the manipulation of sound properties by artificial materials. It elaborates on the fundamental design of acoustic metasurfaces and metastructures as the extension of metamaterials, and their functionality in the manipulation of sound properties. A broad and comprehensive guideline of designing acoustic metasurfaces and metastructures is also provided. Based on the proposed subwavelength metasurfaces and the metastructures with a simplified layout, multiple potential applications are demonstrated. This thesis will appeal to acoustic engineers and researchers who are interested in designing acoustic artificial structures.
