By designing tailor-made resonance modes with structured atoms, metamaterials allow us to obtain constitutive parameters outside their limited range from natural or composite materials. Nonetheless, tuning the constitutive parameters relies much on our capability in modifying the physical structures or media in constructing the metamaterial atoms, posing a fundamental challenge to the range of tunability in many real-time applications. Here, we propose a completely new notion of virtualized metamaterials to lift the traditional boundary inherent to the physical structure of a metamaterial atom. By replacing the resonating physical structure with a designer mathematical convolution kernel with a fast digital signal processing circuit, we show that a decoupled control of the effective bulk modulus and density of the metamaterial is possible on-demand through a software-defined frequency dispersion. Purely noninterfering to the incident wave in the off-mode operation while providing freely reconfigurable amplitude, center frequency, bandwidth, and phase delay of frequency dispersion in on-mode, our approach adds an additional dimension to wave molding and can work as an essential building block for time-varying metamaterials.
The effective medium representation is fundamental in providing a performance-to-design approach for many devices based on metamaterials. While there are recent works in extending the effective medium concept into the temporal domain, a direct implem
Using both multiple scattering theory and effective medium theory, we find that an acoustic metamaterial consisting of an array of spinning cylinders can possess a host of unusual properties including folded bulk and interface-state bands in the subw
The recently proposed concept of metamaterials has opened exciting venues to control wave-matter interaction in unprecedented ways. Here we demonstrate the relevance of metamaterials for inducing acoustic birefringence, a phenomenon which has already
Acoustic bianisotropy, also known as the Willis parameter, expands the field of acoustics by providing nonconventional couplings between momentum and strain in constitutive relations. Sharing the common ground with electromagnetics, the realization o
