The conference will cover fundamental and industrial activities of acoustic and mechanical metamaterials ranging from applied mathematics and theoretical mechanics to more applied researches in control of vibrations, from low (seismic) to high (ultrasonic) frequencies.
This conference is partially supported by funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 863179 (Boheme) and also under 952039 (Metaveh).
