Controlling elastic wave with isotropic transformation materials

Classical Physics 2011-03-29 v1

Abstract

There are great demands to design functional devices with isotropic materials, however the transformation method usually leads to anisotropic material parameters difficult to be realized in practice. In this letter, we derive the isotropic transformed material parameters in case of elastodynamic under local conformal transformation, they are subsequently used to design a beam bender, a four-beam antenna and an approximate carpet cloak for elastic wave with isotropic materials, the simulation results validate the derived transformed material parameters. The obtained materials are isotropic and greatly simplify subsequent experimental implementation.
