Main research line
Wave propagation in complex physical media is the general objective of this line of research. Areas of work include sound propagation in periodic media and acoustic metamaterials to control the propagation and absorption of sound waves. An acoustic metamaterial is an artificial material that exhibits unusual acoustic properties, which arise from the designed structure rather than its composition. The manipulation of acoustic and vibrational wave propagation using complex materials is a technological problem of great importance from a physical point of view because of its many technological applications.
Physical metamaterials such as absorption, absorption
By means of metamaterials consisting of local resonant structures, perfect sound absorption is achieved.
Non-linear propagation in lattices and phononic crystals
A lattice is a chain of periodically distributed masses connected by some attracting force. This type of media allows the control of the wave distortion in its propagation through dispersion and nonlinearity, as well as the propagation of solitons or the modification of the effective nonlinearity of the medium.
