Transformation cloaking and radial approximations for flexural waves in elastic plates
Transformation cloaking and radial approximations for flexural waves in elastic plates
It is known that design of elastic cloaks is much more challenging than the design idea for acoustic cloaks, cloaks of electromagnetic waves or scalar problems of anti-plane shear. In this paper, we address fully the fourth-order problem and develop a model of a broadband invisibility cloak for channelling flexural …
