Experimental analysis of A-shaped magnetic resonator for mu-negative metamaterials

Numerical simulation and experimental analysis of a novel metamaterial using periodic passive planar structure composed of A-shaped inclusions are presented. Experimental and computational results are shown to be in very good agreement. The A-shaped inclusions operate as magnetic resonators providing negative permeability behavior as a result of the magnetic resonance arising from the self and mutual coupling of the inclusions. Issues related to the unit cell dimension versus operation wavelength are also addressed. The proposed design allows the metallization to be non-nested as opposed to the usual split-ring-resonators. Furthermore, specific permeability values at the frequency of interest can be easily established by changing the inclusion dimensions providing extra flexibility to control the electromagnetic response of the structure. The proposed design and its variations enable myriad applications such as super-lens for free-space microwave-focusing as well as creating double-negative metamaterials by combining the structure with a conducting strip.

Rigorous Analysis of Double-Negative Materials with the Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm
Ergül, Özgür Salih (2012-02-01)
We present rigorous analysis of double-negative materials (DNMs) with surface integral equations and the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). Accuracy and efficiency of numerical solutions are investigated when DNMs are formulated with two recently developed formulations, i.e., the combined tangential formulation (CTF) and the electric and magnetic current combined-field integral equation (JMCHE). Simulation results on canonical objects are consistent with previous results in the literature on ordin...

Nonlinear flutter calculations using finite elements in a direct Eulerian-Lagrangian formulation
Seber, Guclu; Bendiksen, Oddvar O. (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2008-06-01)
A fully nonlinear aeroelastic formulation of the direct Eulerian-Lagrangian computational scheme is presented in which both structural and aerodynamic nonlinearities are treated without approximations. The method is direct in the sense that the calculations are done at the finite element level, both in the fluid and structural domains, and the fluid-structure system is time-marched as a single dynamic system using a multistage Runge-Kutta scheme. The exact nonlinear boundary condition at the fluid-structure...
Investigation of effect of design and operating parameters on acoustophoretic particle separation via 3D device-level simulations
Sahin, Mehmet Akif; ÇETİN, BARBAROS; Özer, Mehmet Bülent (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-12-16)
In the present study, a 3D device-level numerical model is implemented via finite element method to assess the effects of design and operating parameters on the separation performance of a microscale acoustofluidic device. Elastodynamic equations together with electromechanical coupling at the piezoelectric actuators for the stress field within the solid parts, Helmholtz equation for the acoustic field within fluid, and Navier-Stokes equations for the fluid flow are coupled for the simulations. Once the zer...
EQUIVALENT ELASTIC PROPERTIES OF LATTICES USING NON-UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED POINT CLOUD
Yormaz, Engin Ege; Tuncay, Kağan; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-11-22)
A method based on the equivalency of strain energy density is proposed for finding the elastic parameters of non-uniformly distributed lattice models in 2D with a Poisson’s ratio of 1/3. Lattice members are assumed to carry only normal force. Hence, the elasticity modulus times the area is the only defining parameter for each lattice member. The method is implemented in MATLAB and it is tested with regularly structured lattices whose solutions can be calculated exactly. A “User-Friendly Lattice Model P...
