Acoustic wave propagation in permeable lossy metamaterials

Manipulating the Acoustic Wave by Acoustic Metamaterials

Our research efforts concentrate on focusing photon and sound into sub-wavelength scales. While we emphasize on new insights of material and device design from fundamental approaches, we also actively pursue the applications of our technology in the areas of nanofabrication, energy conversion, communication, and biomedical imaging. Acoustic metamaterials promise new applications for steering an...

Wave propagation retrieval method for chiral metamaterials.

In this paper we present the wave propagation method for the retrieving of effective properties of media with circularly polarized eigenwaves, in particularly for chiral metamaterials. The method is applied for thick slabs and provides bulk effective parameters. Its strong sides are the absence of artificial branches of the refractive index and simplicity in implementation. We prove the validit...

Spectro-spatial analysis of wave packet propagation in nonlinear acoustic metamaterials

The objective of this work is to analyze wave packet propagation in weakly nonlinear acoustic metamaterials and reveal the interior nonlinear wave mechanism through spectro-spatial analysis. The spectro-spatial analysis is based on full-scale transient analysis of the finite system, by which dispersion curves are generated from the transmitted waves and also verified by the perturbation method ...

Acoustic wave science realized by metamaterials

Artificially structured materials with unit cells at sub-wavelength scale, known as metamaterials, have been widely used to precisely control and manipulate waves thanks to their unconventional properties which cannot be found in nature. In fact, the field of acoustic metamaterials has been much developed over the past 15 years and still keeps developing. Here, we present a topical review of me...
