Advanced Acoustic Metamaterials (Volume-II): A Practical Guide to Wave Engineering, Structural Design, and Industrial Sound Control

By Sanzaya Patel

What if sound could be bent around an object?

What if a material could possess properties that do not exist in nature?

What if geometry could be engineered to create silence, redirect energy, or make structures effectively invisible to acoustic waves?

These questions define the frontier of modern wave engineering.

Advanced Acoustic Metamaterials - Volume II takes readers beyond the fundamentals and into the extraordinary world of engineered acoustic behavior. Building upon the foundations of phononic crystals, resonant structures, and bandgap physics, this volume explores the advanced mechanisms that allow metamaterials to manipulate sound with unprecedented precision.

Inside you'll discover:

Negative effective mass density and bulk modulus

Double-negative metamaterials and acoustic cloaking

Transformation acoustics and coordinate mapping

Computational meshing for acoustic lattices

Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI)

Topology optimization and inverse design

Viscothermal losses and boundary layer damping

Failure modes, fatigue, and structural reliability

Sub-wavelength design principles and scaling constraints

Combining mathematical rigor, engineering intuition, computational methods, and real-world implementation strategies, this volume bridges the gap between theoretical physics and next-generation acoustic technologies.

For engineers, researchers, graduate students, and innovators, Volume II provides the tools needed to move beyond passive noise control and into the active engineering of wave behavior itself.

The future of acoustics is no longer about blocking sound.

It is about designing reality through geometry.
