CONCLUSIONS ANALOGUE TRANSFORMATIONS. Allows us to generalize transformational techniques to non form invariant equations 2. The main requirement is to find an relativistic equation which is analogue to the form variant one 3. We applied the method to acoustics extension to spacetime transformations open the door to dynamically tunable devices based on transformational techniques 4. Application to elasticity: we have obtained important preliminary results but more work needs to be done WE HAVE UNVEILED A NEW METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTING ACOUSTIC METAMATERIALS PRESSURE GRADIENTS. No need to combine different materials to change the acoustic properties of a medium 2. Extension of ATA to the anisotropic case 3. Possibility of achieving acoustic media with time varying properties 29 /3
