Towards Realistic Modeling of Acoustic Cloaks
Acoustic invisibility—guiding sound waves around an object so that it becomes effectively undetectable—has rapidly emerged as a fascinating frontier in engineered materials. Among the most promising solutions are pentamode metamaterials, artificial lattice structures designed to control wave propagation with remarkable precision. In numerical studies, however, these materials are typically approximated through homogenized models, where complex

3D acoustic invisibility cloak
Acoustic metamaterials gave birth to the engineering counterpart of amazing cutting-edge novelties from physics, which discovered and proved unusual ways for steering pressure waves. Outcomes such as superlensing and invisibility cloaking are the most famous and impressive applications. However, the practical realization of these applications remains a significant challenge. Our research group is dedicated to
