Abstract

Precise shaping of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) on anisotropic piezoelectric substrates is complicated by elastic anisotropy and electromechanical coupling. Here we introduce a continuous diffractive acoustic lens (CDAL), in which weak phase-velocity perturbations produced by subwavelength metallization, together with diffraction, drive lateral field redistribution. An anisotropic thin-element propagation model enables efficient inverse design of the CDAL contour. Laser Doppler vibrometry verifies prescribed lateral field profiles and multichannel beam splitting with unequal widths. By combining continuous diffractive modulation with discrete source-phase encoding, we further shape the lateral field into a Bessel profile, demonstrating joint amplitude-and-phase control. This work provides a high-precision and fabrication-compatible mechanism for on-chip SAW field modulation.

A Shape-Preserving Shell Theorem

We identify all radial interaction potentials that generalize Newton's exterior shell theorem, for which a uniformly distributed spherical shell is indistinguishable from a point-source up to strength renormalization and radial rescaling. We call these shape-preserving shell interactions, extending Gurzadyan's cosmological theorem which considers strength renormalization alone. We further expand the theory from monopolar to multipolar sources and establish the corresponding classification in arbitrary spatial dimensions. We find potential families beyond the spherical property subclass and show that the classifications for multipolar shape-preserving interactions form a nested hierarchy, with each lower-rank class being a subset of the next higher-rank class.

The dual-array RopeComb: a guide-balanced transmission with synthesisable rising mechanical advantage for impedance-matched launch

Efficiently transferring kinetic energy from a slow, high-force driver to a light payload, with a near-uniform output force, requires a transmission whose mechanical advantage rises along a steeply convex profile. Continuous-contour mechanisms (variable-radius drums, cams) become prohibitive at scale through diameter span, inertia and rim burst. The RopeComb bypasses these limits by synthesising profiles ($G = 0 \to 100+$) from discrete constant-radius sheaves deflecting tension members into staggered spans. Each fold's ratio vanishes at first contact, enabling snatch-free engagement at 10 m/s without clutches or dampers. Because the array ratio is closed-form, bounded least squares matches uniform-force targets to within 0.6-1.5% across mass ratios of 100:1 to 10,000:1 using 8-13 members. To carry large carriage reactions without the overturning moment a single array imposes, two independent arrays flank a central guide and drive a partitioned fixed-ratio stage ($n_1 + n_2 = k$). Sizing array ratios and member counts in the fall-count ratio $n_2 : n_1$ cancels 97.7% of the single-array reaction and 95% of its overturning moment in simulated 1,000:1 launches at $k=7$, reducing compliant peak-to-mean payload force from 1.40 to 1.13. All results are numerical.

Repeated Binary Direct Collinear Impacts Under Incremental Contact Laws With Permanent Indentation: A Hybrid Systems Formulation

Incremental contact laws specify the normal contact force through a differential equation carrying an internal state, driven by the indentation and its rate. In some, the force is extinguished at a nonzero indentation, whether by plastic deformation or by an elastic aftereffect, so that a residual deformation remains at the separation. Such laws sit uneasily within rigid body dynamics, which admits no deformation. The tension is tolerable when the indentation is small relative to the bodies, so that it may be carried constitutively rather than geometrically. Even then, the contact law alone does not determine the interaction of the bodies. Because force and indentation no longer vanish together, conditions for the commencement and termination of contact must be supplied separately. So must the fate of the deformation and internal state at separation, neither of which the equations of motion contain. This article formulates the repeated direct collinear impact of two convex bodies under external forces as a hybrid dynamical system. The contact interface is modeled as a massless element carrying the contact law and its state, coupled to the bodies through relative velocity and an interaction force dictated by the contact state. Consequently, all switching and resets are confined to the interface, leaving the geometry and the equations of motion of the bodies unaltered. The principal analytical properties of the resulting formulations are established, among them passivity and completeness; the branching of solutions at the onset and termination of contact is also examined. The framework is demonstrated through numerical simulations.
