Metamaterials are composed of arrays of subwavelength-sized artificial structures; these architectures give rise to novel characteristics that can be exploited to manipulate electromagnetic waves and acoustic waves. They have been also used to manipulate elastic waves, but such waves have a coupling property, so metamaterials for elastic waves uses a different method than for electromagnetic and acoustic waves. Since researches on this type of metamaterials is sparse, this paper reviews studies that used elastic materials to manipulate elastic waves, and introduces applications using extraordinary characteristics induced by metamaterials. Bragg scattering and local resonances have been exploited to introduce a locally resonant elastic metamaterial, a gradient-index lens, a hyperlens, and elastic cloaking. The principles and applications of metasurfaces that can overcome the disadvantages of bulky elastic metamaterials are discussed.

The transformation method is of great interest to control electromagnetic waves and acoustic waves in recent years, but it does not always work to manipulate elastic waves. In this paper, a detailed analysis of controlling the shear horizontal (SH) wave, which is a special form of elastic waves, is presented by employing the transformation method. Two scenarios of setting needed materials are provided, and the equivalence of them is proved theoretically. To reduce the complexity of required material parameters, the case of a changing out-of-plane coordinate is studied. The linear transformation method and the effective medium theory are introduced to control SH waves by using homogeneous and isotropic materials. Moreover, numerical simulations confirm the validity of this approach even in the cases of anisotropic and inhomogeneous background media, which are rarely investigated before. Finally, the multiple transformations method is proposed as a strategy of designing multi-domain and multi-function devices.

The primary goal of this paper is to seek solutions to the coupled nonlinear partial differential equations (CNPDEs) by the use of q-homotopy analysis transform method (q-HATM). The CNPDEs considered are the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger–Korteweg–de Vries (CNLS-KdV) and the coupled nonlinear Maccari (CNLM) systems. As a basis for explaining the interactive wave propagation of electromagnetic waves in plasma physics, Langmuir waves and dust-acoustic waves, the CNLS-KdV model has emerged as a model for defining various types of wave phenomena in mathematical physics, and so forth. The CNLM model is a nonlinear system that explains the dynamics of isolated waves, restricted in a small part of space, in several fields like nonlinear optics, hydrodynamic and plasma physics. We construct the solutions (bright soliton) of these models through q-HATM and present the numerical simulation in form of plots and tables. The solutions obtained by the suggested approach are provided in a refined converging series. The outcomes confirm that the proposed solutions procedure is highly methodological, accurate and easy to study CNPDEs.

Abstract Spin angular momentum enables fundamental insights for topological matters, and practical implications for information devices. Exploiting the spin of carriers and waves is critical to achieving more controllable degrees of freedom and robust transport processes. Yet, due to the curl-free nature of longitudinal waves distinct from transverse electromagnetic waves, spin angular momenta of acoustic waves in solids and fluids have never been unveiled only until recently. Here, we demonstrate a metasurface waveguide for sound carrying non-zero acoustic spin with tight spin-momentum coupling, which can assist the suppression of backscattering when scatters fail to flip the acoustic spin. This is achieved by imposing a soft boundary of the π reflection phase, realized by comb-like metasurfaces. With the special-boundary-defined spin texture, the acoustic spin transports are experimentally manifested, such as the suppression of acoustic corner-scattering, the spin-selected acoustic router with spin-Hall-like effect, and the phase modulator with rotated acoustic spin.

Wave mixing resulting from the resonance of electromagnetic waves with ion acoustic waves modified by dust charge fluctuations is investigated. The corresponding nonlinear susceptibilities are derived and applied to the study of phase conjugation by four-wave mixing. It is shown that dust charge fluctuations can lead to a filling-up of the resonance-induced splitting of the phase-conjugate reflectivity, making the latter a useful tool for the diagnostics of dusty plasmas.

This article focuses on the development of a two-axis solid state micro gyroscope (SMG) on surface acoustic waves (SAW). The described gyroscope belongs to the category of inexpensive sensing elements featuring a high degree of longtime overload stability. This advantage seems to make SAW SMGs a priority choice for navigation and control systems functioning in severe overload environments of up to 65,000 g. As of today SAW SMGs are designed according to a number of known principles. Such SMGs may also operate on standing SAWs or traveling SAWs. This article addresses the first gyro type. Unfortunately, the existing standing SAW SMGs share a common limitation of measuring angular rates in relation to one axis only. This research attempts to introduce an innovative two-axis standing SAW SMG. The influence of the basis rotation on the parameters of the elastic waves traveling within the substrate layer was carefully studied. Incident and reflected wave models were also elaborated. The numerical simulation results demonstrate the effects of the basis rotation on the complex factors of the volume waves reflected by the substrate layer and on the phase velocity and frequency thereof as well as on the oscillation amplitude of the particles involved in SAW transition, and on the elliptical particle movement path configuration. Also, the SAW SMG is compared to the existing micromechanical gyroscopes, and the basic SAW SMG production technologies are reviewed.
