The Kirchhoff-Love hypothesis expresses a kinematic constraint that is assumed to be valid for the deformations of a three-dimensional body when one of its dimensions is much smaller than the other two, as is the case for plates. This…
We propose an alternative approach called backward transformation for the design of platonic cloaks, without resorting to in-plane body forces and pre-stresses, which can lead to unphysical features. It is shown that the Kirchhoff-Love…
