New connections between static elastic cloaking, low frequency elastic wave scattering and neutral inclusions are established in the context of two dimensional elasticity. A cylindrical core surrounded by a cylindrical shell is embedded in a uniform elastic matrix. Given the core and matrix properties, we answer the questions of how to select the shell material such that (i) it acts as a static elastic cloak, and (ii) it eliminates low frequency scattering of incident elastic waves. It is shown that static cloaking (i) requires an anisotropic shell, whereas scattering reduction (ii) can be satisfied more simply with isotropic materials. Implicit solutions for the shell material are obtained by considering the core-shell composite cylinder as a neutral elastic inclusion. Two types of neutral inclusion are distinguished, textit{weak} and textit{strong} with the former equivalent to low frequency transparency {and the classical Christensen and Lo generalised self-consistent result for in-plane shear from 1979. Our introduction of the textit{strong neutral inclusion} is an important extension of this result in that we show that standard anisotropic shells can act as perfect static cloaks, contrasting previous work that has employed unphysical materials.} The relationships between low frequency transparency, static cloaking and neutral inclusions provide the material designer with options for achieving elastic cloaking in the quasi-static limit.
A theory is presented showing that cloaking of objects from antiplane elastic waves can be achieved by elastic pre-stress of a neo-Hookean nonlinear elastic material. This approach would appear to eliminate the requirement of metamaterials with inhom
We propose a design of cylindrical elastic cloak for coupled in-plane shear waves consisting of concentric layers of sub-wavelength resonant stress-free inclusions shaped as swiss-rolls. The scaling factor between inclusions sizes is according to Pen
The propagation of acoustic or elastic waves in artificial crystals, including the case of phononic and sonic crystals, is inherently anisotropic. As is known from the theory of periodic composites, anisotropy is directly dictated by the space group
The resonance modes and the related effects to the transmission of elastic waves in a two dimensional phononic crystal formed by periodic arrangements of a two blocks unit cell in one direction are studied. The unit cell consists of two asymmetric el
We design a two-dimensional ultra-thin elastic metasurface consisting of steel cores coated with elliptical rubbers embedded in epoxy matrix, capable of manipulating bulk elastic wave modes for reflected waves. The energy exchanges between the longit
