“…In metamaterials engineering, wave attenuation due to viscous losses remains scarcely understood, despite continuous developments in analysis techniques, including wave finite method [5], structural damping approach [6], different formulations of the finite-element method [7], [8], spectral element method [9], etc. The key reasons behind this are the lack of comprehensive data about viscoelastic properties, especially for additively manufactured materials, and the limitations of mass-spring-damper models that often fail in correctly reproducing viscous dissipation in real materials.…”
