On the Practicability of Ceramic-Tiled Walls for Sound Absorption by Tuning Cavities
Ozgur T. Tugut, Brahim Lemkalli, Qingxiang Ji +7
We present the practicality of structuring ceramic tiles for enhancing sound absorption on rigid walls. The cornerstone of our methodology is to structure walls with cavities so th…
Space-Time Elastic Metamaterials for Zero-Frequency and Zero-Wavenumber Bandgaps
Brahim Lemkalli, Alaa Ali, Qingxiang Ji +5
We create wave-matter space-time metamaterials using optical trapping forces to manipulate mass-spring chains and create zero-frequency and zero-wavenumber band gaps: the bosonic n…
W-shaped Broadband Attenuation of Longitudinal Waves through Composite Elastic Metamaterial
B. Lemkalli, K. K. Dudek, M. Kadic +4
We investigate a composite elastic meta-slab with exceptional transmission properties, particularly the presence of a W-shaped bandgap. A comprehensive study, utilizing experimenta…
Controlling the Propagation of Flexural Elastic Waves With Ceramic Metatiles
Brahim Lemkalli, Ozgur T. Tugut, Qingxiang Ji +5
In this work, we examine the application of phononic metamaterials for elastic impact noise insulation in tiled flooring, through the development of an innovative ceramic metatile…
