Acoustic dispersion relationship of a metamaterial with losses

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

I'm trying to derive acoustic dispersion relationship considering losses in the unit cell.

I manage to do it in the lossless case solving for the eigenvalue problem with a Floquet-Bloch periodicity condition and a parametric study on the bloch wavenumber in one direction only.

Is there a specific module or procedure to achieve this considering losses in the air ?

I hope the problem is clearly stated and people will have a solution.
Thanks

Hi Alexandre

In this model we include thermal and viscous losses:
