Metamaterials beyond electromagnetism

M Kadic, T Bückmann, R Schittny… - Reports on Progress in …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
Metamaterials are rationally designed man-made structures composed of functional building
blocks that are densely packed into an effective (crystalline) material. While metamaterials …

Acoustic cloaking and transformation acoustics

H Chen, CT Chan - Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
In this review, we give a brief introduction to the application of the new technique of
transformation acoustics, which draws on a correspondence between coordinate …

Transformation thermodynamics: cloaking and concentrating heat flux

S Guenneau, C Amra, D Veynante - Optics Express, 2012 - opg.optica.org
We adapt tools of transformation optics, governed by a (elliptic) wave equation, to
thermodynamics, governed by the (parabolic) heat equation. We apply this new concept to …

[BOOK][B] Linear and nonlinear inverse problems with practical applications

JL Mueller, S Siltanen - 2012 - SIAM
Inverse problems arise from the need to interpret indirect and incomplete measurements. As
an area of contemporary mathematics, the field of inverse problems is strongly driven by …

Acoustic cloaking in two dimensions: a feasible approach

D Torrent, J Sánchez-Dehesa - New Journal of Physics, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
This work proposes an acoustic structure feasible to engineer that accomplishes the
requirements of acoustic cloaking design recently introduced by Cummer and Schurig (2007 …

Mantle cloaking using thin patterned metasurfaces

PY Chen, A Alu - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2011 - APS
We explore in detail the concept of mantle cloaking, showing that a single, ultrathin,
conformal metasurface may drastically suppress the scattering from planar [one-dimensional …
