Abstract

The three basic forms of sound propagation in solids are diffraction, refraction and scattering. Acoustical metamaterials will enable the control and manipulation of these three mechanisms and hence the manipulation of the direction of sound propagation in solids. A detailed description of this three mechanisms for the case of negative mass density and negative bulk modulus enabling negative acoustical metamaterial are given.
