Acoustics Functional Materials

Catalog description

This course is designed to introduce the latest developments in the emerging field of acoustic functional materials. Students will develop a deep understanding of the fundamental physics that governs interactions between mechanical waves and engineered materials, including phononic crystals, acoustic metamaterials, and metasurfaces. The course covers both analytical and numerical methods, equipping students with the skills to model and analyze the behavior of acoustic functional materials through band structures and effective medium theory.
