Elastic Trapped Modes in Solid Acoustic Resonators of Various Shapes

Resonators are one of the main building blocks of many acoustic, photonic, and microwave devices such as metasurfaces, sensing devices, antennas, and many more. One of the main properties of any resonator, which also determines the properties of the structure, based on the resonator, is the quality (Q) factor. Q-factor of the resonator is limited due to material and radiative losses. In this paper, we propose the existence of modes of solid resonators, immersed in a nonviscious fluid, which are non-radiative, and therefore, their Q-factor is limited only by material losses.
