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.read more

Elastic Waves Scattering without Conversion in Metamaterials with Simultaneous Zero Indices for Longitudinal and Transverse waves
Fengming Liu,Zhengyou Liu +1 more
TL;DR: Despite the occurrence of the elastic wave scattering, there is, counterintuitively, no mode conversion between the longitudinal and transverse waves in the process, completely in contrast to that in conventional elastic media.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed an innovative structure based on the four-ligament chiral structure for low-frequency vibration and noise reduction, which can play a good role in suppressing vibration transmission, and by improving the structure of the basic four ligaments, the bandgap frequency range of the structure can be transferred from a high frequency to low frequency, which provides ideological guidance and scheme for the structural design of metamaterial that suppress lowfrequency waves.

Beamforming with transformation acoustics in anisotropic media
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that the distortion effects can be corrected by transformation acoustics in which the phased array profile is adjusted to account for the corresponding anisotropy.
