Elastic Metamaterials applied to Geophysics

Abstract

An exciting area of physics, metamaterials, that began in optics and electromagnetism, is now finding application in other wave systems. Notably mechanical and acoustic metamaterial devices are beginning to impact upon soundproofing and vibration control and management; one such area is that of modifying and mitigating ground vibration. In this multidisciplinary project we have used forests of trees, and the associated modelling, as a proof-of-concept to investigate whether metamaterials have any relevance on large-scale geophysical vibration management.
