Abstract

An acoustic bending waveguide is designed by transformation acoustics. A two-dimensional square area with anisotropic and homogeneous material properties is transformed into a fan-shaped area with anisotropic and inhomogeneous material properties to rotate the direction of beam propagation. The transformation medium can be realized by alternating layered structure consisting of water and fluid with negative mass density. We propose that an acoustic metamaterial composed of three layers in water background can be designed to replace negative mass density fluid and achieve the acoustic bending waveguide.
