Abstract: Composite materials are widely used in various fields for their excellent mechanical performances, while anisotropic metamaterials have significant engineering applications and scientific values for the extraordinary manipulation of elastic waves. By combining the anisotropy of composite materials and the requirements for extraordinary wave manipulation, a novel idea was proposed which could offer a new insight into the realization of integrated structure and function. Aimed at high-efficiency elastic wave mode conversion, which is expected to serve as the significant mechanism for vibration and noise reduction, the relation with composite monolayer plate fiber laying angles was studied based on transmodal Fabry-Perot interference(TFPI) theory and composite materials classical laminated plate theory. Then the design method of composite meta-structure for mode conversion was established, with which high-efficiency mode conversion was achieved as high as 89%. The results show that the design method proposed is effective for composite materials design for elastic wave mode conversion.
