Acoustic Multi Emission Lens via Transformation Acoustics

摘要

Based on transformation acoustic methodology,we propose an algorithm for designing acoustic non-resonant lens antenna,which is competent to generate multiple directive beams that are pointing at the desired direction.Unattainable with previous works,the present approach is capable of adjusting the directivity of each radiated beam individually,which is of the utmost importance in several acoustic applications such as in sonar systems.A linear transformation function is intentionally used for eliminating the inhomogeneity of the obtained materials and to pave the way towards more general acoustic patterns.Several numerical simulations are performed to show the capability of the proposed method in manipulating the acoustic waves.To authenticate the concept,a structure that can generate four beams with different directivities is realized with non-resonant meta-fluid bi-layered structure through effective medium theory.
