Vibrations and shock loads pose challenges for aerospace components, potentially causing brittle fractures or electronic failures. Conventional countermeasures like dampers or absorbers add mass and reduce the available payload. Integrating Acoustic Black Holes (ABHs) offers a solution without additional mass.Within a structure, an ABH is a local geometric taper with a near-zero-thickness tip....

Acoustic wave propagation inside sonic black holes (SBHs) is characterized by a decrease in the speed of sound and a gradual increase in pressure magnitude. Beyond their application as broadband sound absorbers, this paper explores their use as broadband pressure enhancement devices to improve the detection of weak signals by exploiting this gradual increase in pressure. We numerically and...

Two-dimensional sonic black holes (2D SBHs) based on radially graded waveguide profiles have recently emerged as compact structures for wave focusing and energy trapping. In this work, we develop a semi-analytical scattering model that fully characterizes the total field response of under cylindrical- and plane-wave incidence. The SBH is treated as a metafluid with radially varying effective...

In aerospace engineering, primary structural components such as fuselage skins and engine cowlings must withstand rigorous dynamic loads and high-frequency vibrations while maintaining high thermal and mechanical stability. Traditional vibration mitigation often relies on auxiliary damping treatments that add parasitic mass, a critical disadvantage in weight-sensitive airframe design. This...

Acoustic topology optimization is a broad topic, with one sub-group being structural optimization. In this discipline, we aim to distribute soundhard material to achieve specific acoustic properties, primarily through a density-based approach. One typical example is the transition zone between two waveguides, soundhard structures that restrict wave propagation and often enforce a...
