Acoustic metasurfaces with Frieze symmetriesa)

J Acoust Soc Am. 2024 Jan 1;155(1):568-574. doi: 10.1121/10.0024359.

Abstract

Frieze patterns follow a set of tiling instructions including reflection, rotation, and translation, and tile the infinite strip. Many metamaterials function due to the underlying symmetry, and its strategic breaking, of their constituent sub-structures that allow tailoring of the dispersion of modes supported by the structure. We design, simulate, and experimentally characterize seven one-dimensional acoustic metasurfaces whose unit cells each belong to one of the distinct Frieze groups.
