Abstract
A sound barrier system for use in mitigating noise having an origami sheet or origami-inspired mechanism that can use folding to change configuration and lattice topology; and a plurality of cylindrical inclusions disposed on top of the origami sheet. The plurality of cylindrical inclusions being periodically arranged such that folding kinematics of the origami sheet induces reconfiguration of the periodicity of the plurality of cylindrical inclusions and associated wave blocking of the noise.
