Acoustic metamaterials can manipulate and control sound waves in ways that are not
possible in conventional materials. Metamaterials with zero, or even negative, refractive …

Metamaterials are artificial composite materials engineered to have properties that may not
be found in nature. By exploring locally resonant effect of the building units, elastic …

Metamaterial-based cloaks make objects different from their surrounding appear just like
their surrounding. To date, cloaking has been demonstrated experimentally in many fields of …

To manipulate various types of physical signals in one single device has long captivated the
attention of scientists and engineers. This however is very challenging, if not impossible …

A unified analytic model for effective mass density, effective bulk modulus, and effective
shear modulus is presented for elastic metamaterials composed of coated spheres …

An elastic cloak is a coating material that can be applied to an arbitrary inclusion to make it
indistinguishable from the background medium. Cloaking against elastic disturbances, in …

The concept of the electromagnetic wave transparency is introduced into the thermal field.
The conditions of the thermal transparency for a multilayered sphere with isotropic coatings …

We seek stable tractor beams that not only axially pull objects but also transversely trap the
object. Transverse force acting on a spherical particle centered on the axis of acoustic …

In this paper, we establish well-posed boundary and interface conditions for the relaxed
micromorphic model that are able to unveil the scattering response of fully finite-size …

Recent research has suggested the possibility of creating acoustic cloaks using
metamaterial layers to eliminate the acoustic field scattered from an elastic object. This …
