摘要:The dispersion of an acoustic surface wave supported by a line of regularly spaced, open ended holes in an acrylic plate, is characterised by precise measurement of its localised acoustic fields. We illustrate the robust character of this surface wave and show its potential for control of sound by the acoustic waveguiding provided by a ring of regularly spaced holes. A single line of open-ended holes is shown to act as simple acoustic waveguide that can be readily manipulated to control the flow of sound.
