The caustics method in the contact problems of anisotropic materials
Regions with high stress gradients represent critical zones of engineering structures such as crack tip or vicinity of the contact zone. The optical method of caustics is one of the few experimental methods which provide applicable results in these ...

Caustic design in periodic lattices [PDF]
We study curved trajectory dynamics and design in discrete array settings. We find that beams with power law phases produce curved caustics associated with the fold and cusp type catastrophes.

Degree and class of caustics by reflection for a generic source [PDF]
We are interested in the study of caustics by reflection of irreducible algebraic planar curves (in the complex projective plane). We prove the birationality of the caustic map (for a generic light position).

Quantum Caustics for Systems with Quadratic Lagrangians [PDF]
We study caustics in classical and quantum mechanics for systems with quadratic Lagrangians. We derive a closed form of the transition amplitude on caustics and discuss their physical implications in the Gaussian slit (gedanken-)experiment.

Negative refraction usually demands complex structure engineering while it is very natural for massless Dirac fermions (MDFs) across the p–n junction (PNJ), this leads to Dirac electron optics.

Caustic ingestion in children: A 6-year retrospective study
Some aspects of the management of caustic ingestion in children are still debated. We aimed to determine the predictive value of epidemiological and clinical features of caustic ingestion, and to define guidelines adherence. This is a retrospective study

Catastrophe theory and caustics of radially symmetric beams [PDF]
The work is devoted to the study of the caustics of radial beams. Analytical expressions for caustic surfaces of wave fronts created by radially symmetric diffractive optical elements are found.

Caustics experimental study on the interaction between moving cracks and voids under impact loading
In order to study the fracture characteristics of semi-disc specimens with circular defects under different impact speeds, Hopkinson rod is used to dynamically load the semi-disc specimen, and the fracture process of the semi-disc specimen is observed by

Calculation of the electromagnetic field exited by a charged particle flying close to dielectric object is one of the important problems of charged particle radiation theory. In some cases, geometric optics area is preferable for calculations.
