• closedAccess   Inverse Grating Problem: Efficient Design of Anomalous Flexural Wave Reflectors and Refractors 

      Packo, Pawel; Norris, Andrew N.; Torrent, Daniel American Physical Society (2019-01-11)
      We present an extensive formulation of the inverse grating problem for flexural waves in which the energy of each diffracted mode is selected and the grating configuration is then obtained by our solving a linear system ...
    • closedAccess   Loss compensation in time-dependent elastic metamaterials 

      Torrent, Daniel; Parnell, William J.; Norris, Andrew N. American Physical Society (2018)
      Materials with properties that are modulated in time are known to display wave phenomena showing energy increasing with time, with the rate mediated by the modulation. Until now there has been no accounting for ...
    • openAccess   Metaclusters for the Full Control of Mechanical Waves 

      Packo, Pawel; Norris, Andrew N.; Torrent, Daniel American Physical Society (2021)
      We present a new method for the control of waves based on inverse multiple scattering theory. Conceived as a generalization of the concept of metagrating, we call metaclusters to a finite set of scatterers whose position ...
