Abstract

Design of functional devices with isotropic materials has significant advantages, as regards easy fabrication and broadband application. In this letter, we present a method to derive isotropic transformation material parameters for elastodynamics under local conformal transformation. The transformed material parameters are then applied to design a beam bender, a four-beam antenna and an approximate carpet cloak for elastic wave with isotropic materials, validated by the numerical simulations.
