Metamaterials o Metamaterials are artificial materials engineered to have properties that may not be found in nature. Metamaterials usually gain their properties from structure rather than composition, using small inhomogeneities to create effective macroscopic behavior. From : Meta-Material Sound Insulation by E. Wester, X. Bremaud and B. Smith, Building Acoustics, 16 (2009) 40

B) Unit cell Cellular material with a periodic array of unit cells Unit cell has components with contrasting mass and moduli Characteristics of infinite, periodic panel are same as that of a unit cell for normally incident sound 42
Low Frequency Enhancement A clamped plate has high STL at very low frequencies due to the effect of boundary conditions and finite size and stiffness. 43

Experimental Validation o A good qualitative agreement is observed between measurements and FE predictions 45
Material-Based Mass Apportioning As µ High STL region broadens in the low frequency regime Region between the first peak and dip is widening The dip being shifted to the right desirable µ O(100) saturates E p = 2 GPa 46
Effective Mass as a Function of Frequency Magnitude of M eff higher than space-averaged areal mass in the range of 0-1000 Hz An order of magnitude higher in 800 1000 Hz range Shows strong negative mass effect in the peak STL region T 2 0c c j fm f 2 0 2 eff 47
Mechanism Behind High STL o o o Averaged displacement phase switches from negative to positive value at the STL peak Parts of the structure move in opposite directions similar to observations in LRSMs resulting in zero averaged displacement Negative mass observed without locally resonant elements 48
Hybrid Material o o Cellular structure increases STL at low frequencies Lightweight, fine fiber fibrous layer can be used to recover performance at higher frequencies 49
Hybrid Material Low Sound Speed Front Metamaterial Core Fibrous Cell Filling Directs non-normally incident sound to core Locally resonant core Fibrous cell filling Increases STL at high Hz o Predicted Sound Transmission Loss in Hybrid System with Fibrous Cell Filling 50
Front and rear boundary conditions have a profound effect on the sound absorption offered by poroelastic materials Those effects are predictable and measureable Internal constraint of poroelastic materials can increase their transmission loss, but finite weight of required supports should be accounted for Metamaterials for transmission loss typically depend on the presence of constraints, geometry and flexural stiffness for their performance A proposed mass-neutral metamaterial barrier featuring spatially-periodic internal constraints gives low frequency advantage with respect to the mass law, but would require supplementary material to mitigate performance loss at high frequencies 51
