Phononic canonical quasicrystalline waveguides

Submitted by Massimiliano Gei on

I am glad to present a recent set of papers highlighting the noteworthy properties of 1D periodic waveguides generated by a quasicrystalline sequence. The concept of canonical configuration explains how to obtain a periodic frequency spectrum and why this outcome is connected to trace mapping:

how did fraeijs de veubeke pass away?

Submitted by yawlou on

I see references to his "untimely death".  Yet, I have never been able to find out what happened.  I'm curious, does anyone know what happened to him?

Incidentally, many of his papers can be found at the following link for free:

I expect some of his papers would be of interest to mechanicians.
