Diamond-Shaped Shrinking Device by Elastic Wave Metamaterial Plate and Active Control
摘要
This work introduces a diamond-shaped shrinking device that manipulates elastic wave propagation to produce illusion effects. According to the coordinate transformation, the device undergoes uniform stretching and compression along the x- and y-axes. For special geometric features, material parameters remain spatially invariant and exhibit no singular values. Although these homogeneous parameters simplify device design, they remain anisotropic. According to effective medium theory, the continuous anisotropic parameters can be approximated by discrete layered structures composed of homogeneous isotropic materials. The proposed configuration comprises alternating layers of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and piezoelectric (PZT) patches. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the shrinking device achieves stable and efficient performance in the 1400–2400 Hz frequency range.
