Acoustic Fields and Waves in Solids

Bert A. Auld
TLDR
In this article, the authors apply the material developed in the Volume One to various boundary value problems (reflection and refraction at plane surfaces, composite media, waveguides and resonators).
Abstract
This work, part of a two-volume set, applies the material developed in the Volume One to various boundary value problems (reflection and refraction at plane surfaces, composite media, waveguides and resonators). The text also covers topics such as perturbation and variational methods.

Dark acoustic metamaterials as super absorbers for low-frequency sound

TL;DR: A thin-film acoustic metamaterial, comprising an elastic membrane decorated with asymmetric rigid platelets that aims to totally absorb low-frequency airborne sound at selective resonance frequencies ranging from 100-1,000 Hz, can reach almost unity absorption at frequencies where the relevant sound wavelength in air is three orders of magnitude larger than the membrane thickness.

Surface acoustic wave microfluidics

TL;DR: The theory underpinning SAWs and their interactions with particles and the contacting fluids in which they are suspended are discussed, and the SAW-enabled microfluidic devices demonstrated to date are reviewed.

Selected methods for imaging elastic properties of biological tissues.

TL;DR: This review discusses several methods of estimating tissue hardness using internal or external means of applying stress (force per unit area) and several associated methods of detecting the resulting strain (fractional length change) in an effort to image a tissue mechanical property, such as Young's modulus.

Analysis of Interdigital Surface Wave Transducers by Use of an Equivalent Circuit Model

TL;DR: In this paper, an acoustic surface wave transducers of the interdigital electrode form are used to represent the transducer as a chain of identical three-ports which are acoustically in cascade but electrically in parallel.

Field theory of guided waves

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model for waveguide decomposition in terms of waveguide discontinuities and waveguides and cavities, and apply it to artificial dielectrics.
