Abstract
Similar to textured perfect electric conductors for electromagnetic waves sustaining
artificial or spoof surface plasmons we present an equivalent phenomena for the
case of sound. Aided by a minimal model that is able to capture the complex wave
interaction of elastic cavity modes and airborne sound radiation in perfect rigid
panels, we construct designer acoustoelastic surface waves that are entirely controlled
by the geometrical environment. Comparisons to results obtained by full-wave simu-
lations confirm the feasibility of the model and we demonstrate illustrative examples
such as resonant transmissions and waveguiding to show a few examples of many
where spoof elastic surface waves are useful.
