Wave propagation in one-dimensional nonlinear acoustic metamaterials

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 ...

Wave propagation in two-dimensional anisotropic acoustic metamaterials of K4 topology

One-dimensional Stress Wave Propagation in Soils

Soil behavior during stress wave propagation was studied on a sand and two clays by making one-dimensional wave propagation tests on 5-meter long columns of the soils. Attempts were made to predict this behavior by determining soil properties in dynamic compression tests on small samples and by using these properties in a variety of mathematical models for soil. In all the wave propagation test...

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...

Geometry of one-dimensional wave propagation.

We investigate the geometrical features of one-dimensional wave propagation, whose dynamics is described by the (2+1)-dimensional Lorentz group. We find many interesting geometrical ingredients such as spinorlike behavior of wave amplitudes, gauge transformations, Bloch-type equations, and Lorentz-group Berry phases. We also propose an optical experiment to verify these effects. PACS numbers: 0...
