We present the design, construction, and experimental characterization of the acoustic analogue of the so called photonic black-hole. The fabricated sample has cylindrical symmetry and consists of two parts, a shell that ...
Spatial gradients in a refractive index are used extensively in acoustic metamaterial applications to control wave propagation through phase delay. This study reports the design and experimental realization of an acoustic ...
