“…The possibility of creating targeted stop bands in LR periodic structures has inspired multiple research efforts for vibration and wave propagation control of 2D structures. 14,15 Among recent studies, it is worth mentioning the application of finite element (FEM) analysis, 16,17 ad hoc analytical methods, 18,19,20 simplified models for periodic systems, 21,22 exploitation of nonlinearities for enhanced or unusual performance, 23,24,25,26,27 and experimental campaigns. 28,29,30…”
