Figure 3.3 Top: computational model for obtaining optimized distributions of two different<br />

elastic materials in order to minimize wave transmission, bottom: the optimized<br />

design for a plane shear wave propagating in the structure. Design domain dimensions,<br />

length: dx = 10×wavelength and height: dy = 1/10 of the length. From paper [5].<br />

Fig. 3.3 (bottom) shows a typical optimized structure for the case of a normal<br />

incident shear wave. The wavelength is small compared to the dimensions of the<br />

structure (λ
