On novel elastic structures inducing polariton resonances with finite frequencies and cloaking due to anomalous localized resonances (Q1622540)

The authors consider the polariton resonances for linear elasticity governed by the Lamé system in 3-D, and their application for cloaking due to anomalous localized resonances. First, they derive a very general and novel class of elastic structures that can induce polariton resonances. In all relevant existing studies in the literature, in order to construct certain polariton structures that can induce resonances, the violation of both convexity conditions on the Lamé parameters is required. But the authors show that only the violation of either one of the two convexity conditions is sufficient. Furthermore, they consider the polariton resonances within the finite frequency regime, and rigorously verify the quasi-static approximation for diametrically small polariton inclusions. Finally, as an application of the newly found structures, they construct a polariton device of the core-shell-matrix form that can induce cloaking due to anomalous localized resonance in the quasi-static regime, which also includes the existing study as a special case.
