Design Omnidirectional Wave Absorbers by Transformation Method

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

A general conformal mapping is proposed to design omnidirectional broadband wave absorbers by transformation method. When applied to electromagnetic (EM) and acoustic waves, the existing material parameters of the EM and acoustic omnidirectional absorbers, which are previously obtained by Hamiltonian optics and geometry acoustics, can be recovered. In addition, magnetic and mass-density-controlled omnidirectional absorbers for EM and acoustic waves can also be designed, respectively. We then apply the conformal mapping to design an omnidirectional elastic wave absorber, the corresponding material realization of such elastic absorber is also proposed and validated by numerical simulation.
