This paper presents a semi-analytical method of suppressing acoustic scattering using
reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms. We give a RL agent control over design parameters …

Metasurfaces have recently received much attentions for manipulating waves. However, it is
difficult to control all high-order or diffracted modes using the popularly employed …

This work presents a method for the reduction of the total scattering cross section (TSCS) for
a planar configuration of cylinders by means of generative modeling and deep learning …

Acoustic metamaterials are engineered microstructures with special mechanical and
acoustic properties enabling exotic effects such as wave steering, focusing and cloaking. In …

A collection of thin structures buckle, bend, and bump into each other when confined. This
contact can lead to the formation of patterns: hair will self-organize in curls; DNA strands will …

The potential of elastic wave retroreflection is substantial for various applications such as
structural identification and detection. However, realizing accurate retroreflection presents …

We present a multiple scattering analysis of robust interface states for flexural waves in thin
elastic plates. We show that finite clusters of linear arrays of scatterers built on a quasi …

Nonlinear oscillators can be used as a scattering mechanism to passively manipulate
propagating elastic waves in an energy-dependent manner. However, the interaction of …

Motivated by recent advances in the inverse design of electromagnetic materials, we
develop two methods for manipulating flexural waves on thin elastic plates. First, we derive a …

In this work we study the localization of flexural waves in highly symmetric clusters of
scatterers. It is shown that when the scatterers are placed regularly in the perimeter of a …
