Pentamode acoustic cloak is promising for underwater sound control due to its solid nature and broadband efficiency, however its realization is only limited to simple cylindrical shape.In rawafricaonline.com this work, we established a set of techniques for the microstructure design of elliptical pentamode acoustic cloak based on truss lattice model, including the inverse design of unit cell and algorithms for latticed cloak assembly.The designed cloak was numerically validated by the well wave concealing performance.The work proves that more general pentamode acoustic wave devices beyond simple cylindrical geometry are theoretically feasible, here and sheds light on more practical design for waterborne sound manipulation.
