Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Phononic crystals, aperiodic structures or metamaterials allow for the development of devices for wave control, environmental noise reduction, focusing and collimation, and even earthquake protection. Contributions should focus on new theoretical or experimental achievements in the field of structures allowing the control of mechanical waves. Importantly, the influence of the environment in which phononic structures function should not be ignored—for example, acoustic waves propagating in the air or in fluids are influenced by the speed of the medium or turbulent disturbances occurring during interactions with obstacles, which has a significant impact on the occurrence and frequency range of the phononic band gaps.
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue related to experimental and numerical studies of wave phenomena in phononic structures. Full papers, short communications, and reviews are all welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
