Metamaterials are artificially engineered materials with properties not typically found in nature. They have the potential to manipulate electromagnetic waves, acoustic waves, and even seismic waves in ways that are not possible with conventional materials. The field of metamaterials research is rapidly evolving, with applications spanning from advanced imaging and sensing to stealth technology and energy harvesting. The importance of this research area lies in its ability to revolutionize various industries, including aerospace, telecommunications, and defense, by enabling the creation of materials with tailored properties that can enhance performance and functionality.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in computational methods and design strategies for metamaterials. It will focus on the theoretical, computational, and experimental advancements that are transforming the field of metamaterials, including novel material designs, simulation techniques, and material property predictions.
The following subtopics are the particular interests of this special issue, including but not limited to:
· Computational Design and Modeling of Metamaterials: Advances in computational techniques for the design and optimization of metamaterials, such as density functional theory (DFT), molecular dynamics simulations, and finite element methods (FEM).
· Electromagnetic Metamaterials: Computational approaches to the design and application of materials that manipulate electromagnetic waves, including those for invisibility cloaks, superlenses, and antennas.
· Acoustic Metamaterials: Simulation-based design of materials that can control sound waves, with applications in noise cancellation, acoustic lenses, and sound-based sensing.
· Mechanical Metamaterials: Design of materials with novel mechanical properties, such as negative stiffness or auxetic behavior, using computational methods to predict and optimize their performance in applications like impact absorption and energy dissipation.
· Thermoelectric and Multifunctional Metamaterials: Computational design and optimization of metamaterials that integrate multiple functionalities, such as heat-to-electricity conversion, multifunctional composites, and hybrid materials with electromagnetic, acoustic, and mechanical properties.
