On the Seismic Cloaking
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration - Year 2014, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Geometric transformations are strongly sustained by manufacture of auxetic materials based on the pore size reduction through radial compression molds. In addition, geometric transformations underlie the development of seismic cloaking. The spatial compression of the conventional foams is determined by the shape of the cloaked object. The cloaking structures can effectively convert the destructive seismic waves into a different type of wave whose intensity dissipates quickly. The technique is the same to the scattering waves of light to render objects invisible.
