Abstract Acoustic and Electromagnetic Metamaterials/Metasurface have demonstrated various fascinating functionalities in wave manipulation. However, further employment of the manipulated wave for controlling the movement of discrete particle matter is not so widely investigated. Particle matter, also known as granular matter, granular material etc, is the most common form of matter in nature, and so the effective control of granular matter is closely related to engineering and daily life. The use of sound waves and electromagnetic waves to manipulate the granular matter has been widely used in printing, environmental protection, pharmaceuticals and many other fields. However, in… More >

Abstract Recently, many interesting conceptual devices have been proposed to manipulate the propagation of acoustic waves at will. This is mostly achieved through acoustic metamaterials designed by the coordinate transformation method [1]. However, such materials are usually required to be anisotropic and inhomogeneous, which hampers their realization in practice.

In this talk, we are going to introduce conformal mapping based transformation acoustics for 2D cases [2]. In this way, the resultant metamaterial parameters are isotropic, which greatly facilitates their implementation. More >
