Slow acoustic surface modes through the use of hidden geometry

Abstract The acoustic surface modes supported by a partly covered periodic meander groove structure formed in an assumed perfectly rigid plate are investigated. This allows one to create a slower acoustic surface wave than can be achieved with the same uncovered meander structure. By changing the si...
