“…Future work may focus on numerically stable and accurate implementation of time-domain simulations for elastic and viscoelastic composites involving large contrasts in material parameters. One possibility is to model resonators as rigid bodies with frequency-dependent, effective masses and moments of inertia 13 , 14 , 16 , 17 . Another possibility is employing an adaptive mesh, which is denser in foam with low speeds of sound, and coarse in stiff solids with high speeds of sound.…”

“…It is anticipated that three-dimensional, locally resonant phononic crystals may exhibit an even broader bandwidth of audible sound control. For example, a body-centered cubic crystal of local resonators exhibits dual audible-range band gaps over a frequency range from 600 to 13 , 14 . The design of waveguide channels in a three-dimensional phononic crystal cladding may provide unprecedented, real-world, opportunities for audible sound control at will.…”

“…Rapid and accurate fabrication of phononic crystals through recent advances in additive manufacturing has provided the next step forward 7 – 12 . Phononic crystals, consisting of three-dimensional lattices of centimeter-sized local resonators, can exhibit dual phononic band gaps, extending over a frequency range from 200 to 13 , 14 . Here, dual phononic band gaps, consisting of separate local resonance and Bragg gaps, can block the transmission of sound through wave-interference effects.…”

“…Locally resonant phononic crystals, consisting of an acoustically connected array of such local resonators, typically exhibit two disjoint band gaps, namely a local resonance gap and a Bragg gap. The local resonance gap occurs when the effective mass and moment of inertia of the local resonators are simultaneously negative 13 , 14 , 16 , 17 . On the other hand, the Bragg gap arises from the macroscopic, destructive interference of waves scattered from the lattice.…”

We describe the trapping and absorption of audible sound in centimeter-scale claddings of two-dimensional, locally resonant phononic crystals. In a square lattice of local resonators consisting of steel cores and cellulose shells, embedded in a viscous foam, dual acoustic-range band gaps extending from about 200 to $$2850 \text { Hz}$$ 2850 Hz are achieved. The spectral range consists of a low-frequency, local resonance gap, separated from a higher frequency Bragg resonance gap, by narrow bands of slow-sound modes. We demonstrate that thin claddings of such phononic crystal, of only three unit cells in thickness, can effectively prevent sound transmission, by a combination of reflection and absorption, over much of the audible spectrum. Moreover, frequency-selective sound transmission can be enabled by engineering waveguide channels that transmit sound through the local resonance gap, the Bragg gap, or both. This offers a path to sound-sculpting claddings that can surround a noise-generating source. The viscoelastic foam in our cladding is treated using a fractional Voigt model, capable of describing experimentally observed responses.
