Requiring no advanced knowledge of wave propagation, An
Introduction to Metamaterials and Waves in Composites focuses on
theoretical aspects of metamaterials, periodic composites, and
layered composites. The book gives novices a platform from which
they can start exploring the subject in more detail. After
introducing concepts related to elasticity, acoustics, and
electrodynamics in media, the text presents plane wave solutions to
the equations that describe elastic, acoustic, and electromagnetic
waves. It examines the plane wave expansion of sources as well as
scattering from curved interfaces, specifically spheres and
cylinders. The author then covers electrodynamic, acoustic, and
elastodynamic metamaterials. He also describes examples of
transformations, aspects of acoustic cloaking, and applications of
pentamode materials to acoustic cloaking. With a focus on periodic
composites, the text uses the Bloch-Floquet theorem to find the
effective behavior of composites in the quasistatic limit, presents
the quasistatic equations of elastodynamic and electromagnetic
waves, and investigates Brillouin zones and band gaps in periodic
structures. The final chapter discusses wave propagation in
smoothly varying layered media, anisotropic density of a periodic
layered medium, and quasistatic homogenization of laminates. This
book provides a launch pad for research into elastic and acoustic
metamaterials. Many of the ideas presented have yet to be realized
experimentally-the book encourages readers to explore these ideas
and bring them to technological maturity.
