Metamaterial Bandgap Predictor

Interactive app for predicting bandgaps in locally resonant metamaterials using analytical models.

This MATLAB app provides an intuitive interface for predicting bandgap frequencies in locally resonant metamaterials, such as meta-truss structures. The tool is based on analytical modelling techniques, including the single-resonator spring-mass model, dispersion relations, and effective mass/stiffness theory. Users can input stiffness parameters to evaluate wave propagation characteristics and visually inspect dispersion curves, transmissivity, and effective dynamic properties.
