Numerical study of acoustic focusing using a bianisotropic acoustic lens [PDF]
Materials with sub-wavelength asymmetry and long-range order have recently been shown to demonstrate acoustical properties analogous to electromagnetic bianisotropy. One characteristic of bianisotropic acoustic media is the existence of direction-dependent acoustic impedance. Therefore, the magnitude and phase of the acoustic fields transmitted through

Range-dependent flexibility in the acoustic field of view of echolocating porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) [PDF]
Funding: Det Frie Forskningsrad (MJ)Toothed whales use sonar to detect, locate, and track prey. They adjust emitted sound intensity, auditory sensitivity and click rate to target range, and terminate prey pursuits with high-repetition-rate, low-intensity

Analysis of dynamic high-frequency acoustic field control by metasurfaces lens
Acoustic metasurfaces have largely been explored for acoustic field modulation, but because of their structural complexity, they are mainly implemented for airborne low frequency sound and generally located in the transmission medium, acting as a ...

Ejection Characteristics and Drop Modulation of Acoustic Inkjet Printing Using Fresnel Lens
Acoustic Inkjet Printing uses an acoustic beam focused on a free liquid surface for drop ejection. This method can eject small drops without precise nozzle fabrication in comparison with thermal inkjet and piezoelectric inkjet.

2D phononic-crystal Luneburg lens for all-angle underwater sound localization
Phononic crystals are well known for acoustic wave manipulation which may have potential application in an underwater acoustic detection system. In this work, we design and simulate a two-dimensional Luneburg lens based on gradient-index (GRIN) phononic ...

3D Localization of Scatterers with a Spiral-Shaped Acoustic Lens
Traditionally, single element transducers are used for localizing objects in 1D through A-mode scans, where only the echo envelope is used. Due to the transducer surface symmetry, A-mode scans performed for azimuthally or elevationally translated ...

The radar signature of the Wind Lens: a less disruptive wind turbine? [PDF]
We study the radar signature of a new type of wind turbine, named the Wind Lens. This design includes a flanged shroud around the turbine which concentrates the wind flow past the turbine blades and hence improves the efficiency.
