Abstract

The existence of multimodes is a unique characteristic of various elastic wave systems, including elastic metasurfaces. Nevertheless, most of the previous research on elastic metasurfaces has focused on a single mode only, so the related physics is largely unknown and noise is generated by the undesired incident wave mode. Here, we present a mode-selective elastic metasurface that can tailor the target wave mode while filtering out the undesired wave mode. To this end, analytical investigation is carried out for an elastic metasurface with multimode incidence such that the metasurface can operate for both longitudinal and shear wave modes. After that, the mode-selective elastic metasurface is designed and validated numerically and experimentally. With our research, it is now possible to explicitly design an elastic metasurface for the multimode incidence case. Furthermore, since the noise caused by the undesired wave mode is barely generated with the proposed mode-selective metasurface, various elastic wave devices and physical findings are expected from the current research.
