Last offered Fall 2019

Official Description

Subject offerings of new and developing areas of knowledge in theoretical and applied mechanics intended to augment the existing curriculum. See Class Schedule or departmental course information for topics and prerequisites. Course Information: May be repeated in the same or separate terms if topics vary to a maximum of 12 hours.

Section Description

This course introduces fundamental concepts of acoustic and elastic wave propagation in metamaterials and periodic media. Theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches for analyzing wave propagation in such media will be discussed, as well as fabrication methods and engineering applications. Topics may include: elastodynamics of lattice materials, Bloch-Floquet theorem and Brillouin zones, acoustic/elastic band gap materials, damped and nonlinear phononic materials, transformation-based methods, and active systems. prerequisites: (1) TAM 541, and (2) ONE of the following: TAM 551, TAM 413, TAM 518, TAM 514, AE 522, or permission from instructor.
