Abstract (excerpt)
The term `sub-wavelength' is commonly used to describe innovative sound-absorbing structures usually labeled as `metamaterials'. Such structures, however, inherently do not bring groundbreaking advancements. This study addresses the limitations imposed by the thickness criterion of Yang et al. by introducing the concept of equivalent mass-spring-damping parameters within the resonator framework. This innovative approach introduces an index of `half-absorption bandwidth' to effectively overcome the thickness restriction. Four practical cases are then presented to correct prevalent misleading co
