GEOMETRIC TRANSFORMATIONS IN DESIGNING NEW MATERIALS
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2011, Vol 56, Issue 3
Abstract
In this paper, an original idea of designing new materials is investigated. The property of Helmholtz equation to be invariant under geometric transformations is exploited to obtain new materials with inhomogeneous and anisotropic distribution of elastic properties. This approach opens up the possibility to configure new materials that might be useful in the design of elastic cloaking devices.
