The study of phononic materials and structures explores the intersection of vibration and acoustics engineering and condensed matter physics. The overall dynamical characteristics of phononic materials are compactly described by a frequency band structure, in analogy to an electronic band diagram.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERuzzene said he worked extensively on that tutorial, which he put together using material he had developed for his own students.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe trio\u2019s work was selected from among 36 papers published in the journal over the last two years by a committee consisting of the journal\u2019s editorial board and the ASME Applied Mechanics Division vice chair, Pradeep Sharma.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERuzzene, Leamy, and Mahmoud have been invited to formally receive their honor at the ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress \u0026amp; Exposition (IMECE) which will be held in Phoenix this November.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":[{"value":"\u201cDynamics of Phononic Materials and Structures: Historical Origins, Recent Progress, and Future Outlook\u201d"}],"field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThree aerospace engineering faculty - two from Georgia Tech -- have been recognized for their paper, \u201cDynamics of Phononic Materials and Structures: Historical Origins, Recent Progress, and Future Outlook\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"AE, ME, Profs Teamed Up with Colleague from University of Colorado"}],"uid":"27836","created_gmt":"2016-08-08 18:06:42","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:22:16","author":"Kathleen Moore","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2016-08-08T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2016-08-08T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"339501":{"id":"339501","type":"image","title":"Research Horizons - Discoveries in MSE - Massimo Ruzzene","body":null,"created":"1449245234","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 16:07:14","changed":"1475895053","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:50:53","alt":"Research Horizons - Discoveries in MSE - Massimo Ruzzene","file":{"fid":"200620","name":"discoveries_in_mse_image_5.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/discoveries_in_mse_image_5_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/discoveries_in_mse_image_5_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":791674,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/discoveries_in_mse_image_5_0.jpg?itok=FNekUKzx"}}},"media_ids":["339501"],"groups":[{"id":"1239","name":"School of Aerospace Engineering"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"2082","name":"aerospace engineering"},{"id":"541","name":"Mechanical Engineering"},{"id":"79991","name":"phononics"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
