Abstract
We explore the possibilities coming from transformation acoustics and beyond for creating rigid elastic composite shells capable of suppressing the total scattering cross-section of acoustically large objects. The reported design methodology is based on generalized shape and topology optimization, and the outcomes are suitable for rapid prototyping techniques.U.S. Office of Naval Researc
