Beam path and focusing of flexural Lamb waves within phononic crystal-based acoustic lenses

We describe an analytical approach that allows calculating the trajectories of an elastic beam within a two-dimensional phononic crystal-based gradient index medium. The formalism takes into account the anisotropy along the lines of inclusions where the equi-frequency contours may depart from a circ...
