“…The vast range of phenomena associated with sound propagion has led to applications to acoustic focusing, 11,[25][26][27] waveguiding, 28 cloaking, [29][30][31][32][33] negative refraction, 11,34,35 resonant transmission through hole arrays, 9,[36][37][38][39][40] and enhanced absorption, 41 which are providing a major focus of attention. In particular, cloaking has been predicted for both elastic 29 and acoustic [30][31][32] waves, including acoustic carpets.…”
