Engineered to create devices with unique properties when interacting with waves, metamaterials are a relatively new field. Presenting the theory behind these materials, this invaluable book discusses the interaction of metamaterials (layered, periodic, and composite) with electromagnetic and elastic waves. With applications in many disciplines, it describes equations that govern acoustic, electrodynamic, and elastodynamic waves in inhomogeneous media. It shows how these can predict behaviors, such as negative and anisotropic density, perfect lensing, and cloaking, all of which can be exploited in engineering applications.
