Abstract :
We present a finite-element analysis of a diffraction problem involving a coated cylinder enabling the electromagnetic cloaking of a finite conducting object with sharp wedges located within its core. The coating consists of a hollow cylinder with a circular cross section made of heterogeneous anisotropic material deduced from a geometric transformation as first proposed by Pendry The shape of the cloak is then generalized to elliptic cross sections.
