Slit-Induced Reflection Mode Conversion Between Fundamental Lamb Modes in Elastic Plates with Low-Frequency and Broadband Response
We present a compact slit-based interface that enables reflection mode conversion in an elastic plate by transforming an incident lowest-order antisymmetric Lamb mode into a reflected lowest-order symmetric Lamb mode. The interface is realized by introducing inclined vacuum slits along the lateral sides of the plate. This geometry...
