This proposal combines the efforts of research groups from the University of Sao Paulo, State University of Sao Paulo, University of Campinas, Technological Institute of Aeronautics and also a number of international collaborators to investigate periodic structures in the context of phononic materials and elastic/acoustic metamaterials. Phononic materials and elastic/acoustic metamaterial…
Phononic materials and elastic/acoustic metamaterials can exhibit specific behavior usually not observed in natural materials. They have great potential to replace traditional materials in demanding engineering applications and also to pave the way for innovative solutions of several engineering problems. The laser Dopler vibrometry is an alternative to traditional contact techniques usua…
Phononic materials and metamaterials have unusual behaviors, such as the ability to rearrange wave propagation, carry out diode-like mechanisms, present bandgaps in certain frequency ranges and the ability to locate or confine energy, which are not observed in natural materials. They have great potential to replace traditional materials in challenging engineering applications as well as p…

Phononic crystals and acoustic/elastic metamaterials are composite structures designed to tailor their acoustic and elastic wave properties through bandgaps. Due to their unique wave properties, phononic crystals and metamaterials have been used for a wide variety of applications, including acoustic and vibration isolation, cloaking, focusing, sound collimation and refraction of sound wav…
Electromechanically coupled beams under axial fluid flow have been investigated for energy harvesting and also for the study of bio-inspired aquatic robots. In the first case, the performance of the system is, under some flow conditions, comparable to that of horizontal axis wind turbines. In the second case, piezoelectric action on beams submerged in water provides thrust and, consequent…
Metamaterials are a class of engineered material exhibiting properties that do not occur naturally or are not obtained from their constituent materials. Elastic/acoustic metamaterials can tailor the propagation of elastic waves through the generation frequency ranges of strong wave attenuation (bandgaps), that are either the result of wave scattering at periodic impedance mismatch zones (…
Metamaterials have gained attention in the recent years due to their capacity to achieve behaviour not encountered in conventional materials. These unnatural behaviour come from the periodic arrangement of substructures (cells or units), allowing this type of material to be used in Engineering applications to control electromagnetic and mechanical waves in several ways. However, more rece…
Acoustic metamaterials (AMMs) are nowadays a promising means for overcoming heavy and expensive sound isolation designs. Unusual low-frequency sound transmission loss (STL) properties are shown to come with lattices of substructures, arranged onto stiffer and lightweight primary structures (thus resulting in an AMM), which make the AMMs to be ideal for vibroacoustic isolation applications…

Elastic metamaterials and phononic crystals have been investigated due to their extraordinary properties that allow vibration and acoustic attenuation as well as wave manipulation. The presence of the band gaps, frequency ranges in which wave and vibration disturbances will not propagate through the structure, is the key feature of these periodic media. Band gaps have paved the way to cre…
Locally resonant metastructures have been shown to exhibit attenuation bands with limited bandwidth and intensity. Moreover, the inclusion of nonlinearities in the metastructure's resonant attachments has shown so far promising results at overcoming these limitations, as evidenced by a few recent efforts. Nonlinear metastructures exhibit a plethora of interesting dynamic phenomena, e.g., …
Elastic metamaterials have been explored due to their extraordinary properties that allow vibration and acoustic attenuation as well as wave manipulation. The term metamaterial is nowadays employed to designate rationally designed and tailored artificial materials with physical properties not found in nature. The presence of a band gap, a frequency range in which vibration disturbances wi…
