Abstract
The acoustic surface waves supported by hard surfaces patterned with repeat-period, meandering grooves are explored. The single, continuous groove forms a glide-symmetric surface, inhibiting the formation of a bandgap at the first Brillouin-zone boundary. Consequently, the acoustic surface waves exhibit an almost constant, sub-speed-of-sound, ...
The acoustic surface waves supported by hard surfaces patterned with repeat-period, meandering grooves are explored. The single, continuous groove forms a glide-symmetric surface, inhibiting the formation of a bandgap at the first Brillouin-zone boundary. Consequently, the acoustic surface waves exhibit an almost constant, sub-speed-of-sound, group velocity over a broad frequency band. Such slow, broadband modes may have applications in controlling the flow of noise over surfaces.
