Camila ZANIN : Nonlinear interactions of mass-in-mass cells in a lattice of acoustic metamaterial

This PhD aims to localize vibro-acoustical energies in coupled mass-in-mass cells with global and local nonlinear interactions. The idea is to prepare design tools for creation of desired dynamic behaviors in the chain or network of cells. Analytical and numerical developments should lead to system parameters tuning for the fabrication of an experimental system.
