Acoustokinetics: Crafting force landscapes from sound waves

Factoring the pressure field of a harmonic sound wave into its amplitude and phase profiles provides the foundation for an analytical framework for studying acoustic forces that not only provides insights into the forces exerted by specified sound waves but also addresses the inverse problem of desi...

description Factoring the pressure field of a harmonic sound wave into its amplitude and phase profiles provides the foundation for an analytical framework for studying acoustic forces that not only provides insights into the forces exerted by specified sound waves but also addresses the inverse problem of designing sound waves to implement desired force landscapes. We illustrate the benefits of this acoustokinetic framework through case studies of purely nonconservative force fields, standing waves, pseudostanding waves, and tractor beams.
