Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A device for use in a medium comprising a medium vibro-acoustic impedance. The device includes an elastic material including a plurality of unit cells. The plurality of unit cells includes a first unit cell. The first unit cell includes a first unit-cell joint comprising a first unit-cell joint wall defining a first joint central void, a first unit-cell joint inclusion located in the first joint central void, and at least two first unit-cell arms connected to and extending away from the first unit-cell joint. The elastic material includes an elastic-material vibro-acoustic impedance. The elastic-material vibro-acoustic impedance and the medium vibro-acoustic impedance are sufficiently vibro-acoustically impedance-matched to couple time-varying, propagating vibro-acoustic fields between said elastic material and the medium.
