Non-Closed Acoustic Cloak Enabled by Sequential-Step Linear Coordinate Transformations
arXiv:1904.12909
Abstract
Hitherto acoustic cloaking devices, which conceal objects externally, have depended on the objects' characteristics. Despite previous works, we design cloaking device placed neighbor an arbitrary object and makes it invisible without the need to make it enclosed. Applying sequential linear coordinate transformations, leads to a non-closed acoustic cloak (NCAC) with homogeneous materials that creates an open invisible region. We propose a non-closed carpet cloak to conceal objects on a reflecting plane. Numerical simulations verify the cloaking effect, which is completely independent of the geometry and material properties of the hidden object. Due to the simple acoustic constitutive parameters of presented structures, this work paves the way toward realization of non-closed acoustic devices, which could find applications in air born sound manipulation and underwater demands.
