Dear iMechanica community,
I would like to share with you the publication of our paper Identifying elastic wave polarization and bandgaps in periodic solid media, in the International Journal of Mechanical Sciences.
Title: Identifying elastic wave polarization and bandgaps in periodic solid media
Authors: Maria Carrillo-Munoz and Bhisham Sharma
We have an exciting, two-year postdoctoral position in the general area of nonlinear acoustic metatmaterials. We are seeking a motivated, soon to graduate PhD student, or a transitioning postdoc. Candidates must be presently in the US. This is a two-year NSF-funded postdoc opportunity at
Georgia Tech in the general area of nonlinear periodic structures and metamaterials.
Details about the research are below. An ideal candidate will have
expertise in acoustics of periodic structures/materials. Some background
My book on metamaterials, "An introduction to metamaterials and waves in composites" has been published on June 16, 2011 by CRC Press (Taylor and Francis).
The book is meant for students, researchers, engineers, and educators who want to get a basic grounding on the theory that is the basis of recent excitement about negative materials, cloaking, transformation optics/acoustics and other wave phenomena in composites.
