Control and suppression of elastic waves using periodic metasurfaces and bridges (2020)
Thesis
Wootton, P. T. (2020). Control and suppression of elastic waves using periodic metasurfaces and bridges. (Thesis). Keele University

This thesis discusses how wave propagation in continuous linearly elastic media can be controlled or suppressed using periodic structures. This involves controlling 2D waves on a membrane, 3D longitudinal and transverse waves in a linearly elastic bu...

Dynamic chirality and failure in structured materials with applications (2020)
Thesis
Garau, M. (2020). Dynamic chirality and failure in structured materials with applications. (Thesis). Keele University

We consider the vibration of two classes of discrete periodic systems and the resulting dynamic effects. We analyse elastic lattices connected to arrays of gyroscopic spinners, that confer chirality to the elastic system. It is shown in the time-harm...
