Harnessing multi-layered soil to design seismic metamaterials with ultralow frequency band gaps

Phononic metamaterials are capable of manipulating mechanical wave propagation in applications ranging from nanoscale heat transfer to noise and vibration mitigation. The design of phononic metamaterials to control low-frequency vibrations, such as those induced by ground transportation and low-ampl...
