Abstract

This paper presents a new Gradient Refractive Index (GRIN) structure, which utilizes a series of thin plates made of functionally graded material separated by narrow gaps, to control elastic P-wave fields. The proposed technique is demonstrated through two basic examples of wave manipulation: focusing and deflecting, but has the potential for a wide range of applications. To verify the theoretical calculations, COMSOL Multiphysics simulation software was utilized to solve the full Navier–Lamé equations. Overall, the results of this study demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed GRIN structure in manipulating elastic P-wave fields.
