A system for absorbing a flexural wave acting upon a structure comprising a pair of scatterers, the pair of scatterers including a monopole scatterer disposed on the structure at a location and a dipole scatterer disposed on the structure at the location.
A pair of scatterers for absorbing a flexural wave acting on a structure the pair of scatterers comprising:
- a monopole scatterer;
- and
- a dipole scatterer, wherein the monopole scatterer and the dipole scatterer are configured to be mounted to the structure at a same location.
