damping, and although for z ¼ 0:1% a drop in the response is noticed near the gap it is hardly<br />

distinguishable from other response drops between resonances.<br />

3.3.4. Wave guides<br />

It has been demonstrated how structures assembled from unit cells with band gaps may exhibit<br />

a large reduction in the structural response away from the point of excitation when subjected to
