چکیده

In this talk, we shall present our recent progress on acoustic and electromagnetic cloaking of obstacles with transformation media. In wave scattering, an obstacle is an object that waves cannot penetrate inside. With artificially designed transformation media, we show that the obstacle can be virtually reshaped under acoustic or electromagnetic wave detection. These cloaking media are shown to must be anisotropic. Based on certain stability estimates of scattering amplitudes in terms of the diameters of small obstacle, we further show that the limits of virtual minification is the invisibility cloaking. Our study is conducted in both homogeneous and general inhomogeneous background spaces. Finally, our results can be applied to cloak an arbitrary medium with suitable lining of the cloaked region to produce the required obstacle boundary conditions on the exterior cloaking interface.

Acoustic Cloaking

Introduction An acoustic cloak is a shell surrounding an object so that sound incident from any direction passes through and around the cloak, making the cloak and the object acoustically “invisible.” We do not experience acoustic cloaking because the materials required are exotic and, as far as we know, not found in nature. Yet there is no fundamental physical restriction on acoustic cloaking....

Acoustic cloaking transformations from attainable material properties

We propose a general methodology and a set of practical recipes for the construction of ultra-broadband acoustic cloaks—structures that can render themselves and a concealed object undetectable by means of acoustic scattering. The acoustic cloaks presented here are designed and function analogously to electromagnetic cloaks. However, acoustic cloaks in a fluid medium do not suffer the bandwidth...

Scattering theory derivation of a 3D acoustic cloaking shell.

Through acoustic scattering theory we derive the mass density and bulk modulus of a spherical shell that can eliminate scattering from an arbitrary object in the interior of the shell--in other words, a 3D acoustic cloaking shell. Calculations confirm that the pressure and velocity fields are smoothly bent and excluded from the central region as for previously reported electromagnetic cloaking ...

Cloaking and Invisibility: A Review

Invisibility has been a tantalizing concept for mankind over several centuries. With recent developments in metamaterial science and nanotechnology, the possibility of cloaking objects to incoming electromagnetic radiation has been escaping the realm of science fiction to become a technological reality. In this article, we review the state-of-the-art in the science of invisibility for electroma...

Draft: Theory and Design of Practical Metamaterials for Acoustic Cloaking

Significant research has recently been dedicated to reducing the interaction between acoustic waves and given objects. The coordinate transformation theory provides an elegant approach to the design of coatings capable of reaching this goal. First demonstrated for electromagnetic waves [1], this method has later been adapted to acoustic waves [2–5]. Its appeal stems from its generality: it can ...
