TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that the acoustic equations in a fluid are identical in form to the single polarization Maxwell equations via a variable exchange that also preserves boundary conditions, and the existence of transformation-type solutions for the 2D acoustic equations with anisotropic mass via time harmonic simulations of acoustic cloaking.
Abstract
A complete analysis of coordinate transformations in elastic media by Milton et al has shown that, in general, the equations of motion are not form invariant and thus do not admit transformation-type solutions of the type discovered by Pendry et al for electromagnetics. However, in a two-dimensional (2D) geometry, the acoustic equations in a fluid are identical in form to the single polarization Maxwell equations via a variable exchange that also preserves boundary conditions. We confirm the existence of transformation-type solutions for the 2D acoustic equations with anisotropic mass via time harmonic simulations of acoustic cloaking. We discuss the possibilities of experimentally demonstrating acoustic cloaking and analyse why this special equivalence of acoustics and electromagnetics occurs only in 2D.

Band-gap dynamics and programming for low-frequency broadband elastic metamaterial

TL;DR: In this article , a dynamic method to estimate the band-gap edge frequencies of the local resonant elastic metamaterials with four representative resonators is proposed, and the resonator dimension is programmed for realizing the maximum normalized bandgap width with respect to the lower edge frequency and unit cell volume.
