Abstract
In this talk, we present a method for the reduction of the total scattering cross section (TSCS) for a planar configuration of cylinders through multi-scattering, generative modeling and deep learning. We first summarize and illustrate existing approaches in the inverse design of metamaterials then discuss current algorithmic limitations and open challenges to preview possible future developments in metamaterial design. We then show a novel method [1, 2] to design broadband acoustic metamaterial configurations using deep learning and generative modeling targeting low TSCS responses. We combine a conditional Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network (cWGAN) with a standard convolutional neural networks (CNN) to generate metacluster configurations with a specified TSCS. The proposed cWGAN model is enhanced by adding to it a coordinate convolution layer [3]. Particularly placed scattering elements can achieve minimal TSCS producing a broadband cloaking effect at discrete sets of wavenumbers. The method is demonstrated giving examples for planar uniform configurations of rigid cylinders.
