Enhancement of phononic band gaps in ternary/binary structure

Based on the transfer matrix method (TMM) and Bloch theory, the interaction of elastic waves (normal incidence) with 1D phononic crystal had been studied. The transfer matrix method was obtained for both longitudinal and transverse waves by applying the continuity conditions between the consecutive unit cells. Dispersion relations are calculated and plotted for both binary and ternary structures. Also we have investigated the corresponding effects on the band gaps values for the two types of phononic crystals. Furthermore, it can be observed that the complete band gaps are located in the common frequency stop-band regions. Numerical simulations are performed to investigate the effect of different thickness ratios inside each unit cell on the band gap values, as well as unit cells thickness on the central band gap frequency. These phononic band gap materials can be used as a filter for elastic waves at different frequencies values.

Effect of interface/surface stress on the elastic wave band structure of two-dimensional phononic crystals

In the present Letter, the multiple scattering theory (MST) for calculating the elastic wave band structure of two-dimensional phononic crystals (PCs) is extended to include the interface/surface stress effect at the nanoscale. The interface/surface elasticity theory is employed to describe the nonclassical boundary conditions at the interface/surface and the elastic Mie scattering matrix embodying the interface/surface stress effect is derived. Using this extended MST, the authors investigate the interface/surface stress effect on the elastic wave band structure of two-dimensional PCs, which is demonstrated to be significant when the characteristic size reduces to nanometers.

Designing a broad locally-resonant bandgap in a phononic crystals

Producing a broad locally-resonant bandgap for low frequencies in a phononic crystals is a challenging task, using conventional methods. In this paper, we describe the design of a broad, locally-resonant, bandgap in a phononic crystals using a numerical simulation. The structure consists of periodic double-sided novel composite sonators, deposited on a 2D locally-resonant phononic-crystals plate made of a rubber-filler array, which is embedded in an epoxy plate. Using the finite element method, we calculate the dispersion relations, the power-transmission spectra, and the displacement fields for the eigenmodes. Our results confirm that, the new structure facilitates a significant increase in absolute bandwidth (by a factor of 4.2) compared to conventional phononic crystals. It also broadens the range of elastic wave attenuation. The formation mechanisms that generates the broad locally-resonant bandgap is explored numerically. The simulation indicates that the formation of this bandgap is possible due to coupling between the entire vibration mode of the novel composite-resonator and the Lamb-wave mode of the 2D locally-resonant phononic-crystals plate. The bandwidth of the locally-resonant bandgap is determined by the resonator mode. This study opens new possibilities to broaden locally-resonant bandgaps of phononic crystals for low frequencies. The results can potentially be used to reduce vibration and noise in many applications.     

Hybrid phononic crystal plates for lowering and widening acoustic band gaps

We propose hybrid phononic-crystal plates which are composed of periodic stepped pillars and periodic holes to lower and widen acoustic band gaps. The acoustic waves scattered simultaneously by the pillars and holes in a relevant frequency range can generate low and wide acoustic forbidden bands. We introduce an alternative double-sided arrangement of the periodic stepped pillars for an enlarged pillars’ head diameter in the hybrid structure and optimize the hole diameter to further lower and widen the acoustic band gaps. The lowering and widening effects are simultaneously achieved by reducing the frequencies of locally resonant pillar modes and prohibiting suitable frequency bands of propagating plate modes.     

局域共振复合单元声子晶体结构的低频带隙特性研究

本文提出了一种新型局域共振复合单元声子晶体结构, 并结合有限元方法对结构的带隙机理及低频共振带隙特性进行了分析和研究. 共振带隙产生的频率位置由所对应的局域共振模态的固有频率决定, 并且带隙宽度与局域共振模态的品质因子及其与基体之间的耦合作用强度有关. 采用局域共振复合单元结构可以实现声子晶体的多重共振, 在低频范围能打开多条共振带隙, 但受到共振单元排列方式的的影响. 由于纵向和横向局域共振模态的简并, 复合单元结构能在200 Hz以下的低频范围打开超过60%宽度的共振带隙, 最低带隙频率低至18 Hz. 这为声子晶体结构获得低频、超低频带隙提供了一种有效的方法. 关键词： 局域共振 低频带隙 复合单元 声子晶体     

二维正方格子磁性光子晶体的带隙结构

采用平面波展开的方法计算了正方格子二维磁性光子晶体(MPC)的光子带隙结构.散射子的形状分别为：长方形，正方形，六角形和圆形.通过调节磁导率，填充率和散射子的旋转角度，找到了MPC各种结构的最大的绝对带隙宽高比ω_R.研究发现：随着磁导率的增加，MPC绝对带隙中心频率ω_g单调减小，绝对带隙宽度Δω和其宽高比ω_R可能不同时达到最大值.而随着填充率或者散射子旋转角的增加，基本不改变ω_g的大小，各种结构的Δω和ω_R同时达到最大值. 关键词： 磁性光子晶体 光子带隙结构

低频振动的控制是评估汽车舒适性的重要指标。针对汽车板件结构的低频振动控制问题,提出了一种基于局域共振机理的新型准二维声子晶体板。其结构由单侧复合圆柱共振单元周期排布在基板上构成。通过有限元方法得到了该结构的带隙特性,并结合其振型和传输谱分析了低频完全带隙的形成机理。研究表明,不同形式的板振动模式与圆柱共振单元的局域共振模式相互耦合形成面内带隙与面外带隙,两者叠加形成完全带隙。进一步研究发现,通过改变结构的材料和尺寸参数可以将共振带隙调节到满足实际应用要求的极低频范围,可在低于100 Hz的频段形成完全带隙,并可在更宽的频带内抑制z方向振动的弯曲波,为声子晶体在车身板件减振中的实际应用提供了依据。     

Band structure in two-dimensional fiber-air phononic crystals

A two-dimensional phononic crystal (PC) composed of textile fiber and air is initially discussed in this paper, which is different from the previous PCs with rigid inclusions. The plain wave expansion method is used to calculate band structure of different PCs by altering fiber material properties and structure parameters. Numerical results show that the effect of material properties of soft fiber on band structure of phononic crystal can be ignored, while the effect of structural parameters is obvious.     

Absolute band gaps and waveguiding in free standing and supported phononic crystal slabs

Using the finite element method (FEM), we investigate the existence of absolute band gaps and localized modes associated with a guide in thin films of phononic crystals. Two different structures based on two-dimensional (2D) phononic crystals are considered, namely a free standing plate and a plate deposited on a silicon substrate. The 2D phononic crystal is constituted by a square array of cylindrical holes drilled in an active piezoelectric PZT5A matrix. We demonstrate the existence of absolute band gap in the band structure of the phononic crystal plate and, then, the possibility of guided modes inside a linear defect created by removing one row of air holes. In the case of the supported plate, we show the existence of an absolute forbidden band in the plate modes when the thickness of the substrate significantly exceeds the plate thickness.     

二维复式声子晶体中基元配置对声学能带结构的影响

研究了二维复式声子晶体中基元配置对其声学能带结构的影响,发现当声子晶体的基元配置改变时,声子晶体的不可约布里渊区也会改变,而且部分能带的极值不再在高对称线上.特别地,在某些基元配置下,不可约布里渊区扩大为整个第一布里渊区.因此,对于对称性较高的复式晶格声子晶体,可用通常的方法得到能带结构,而对于对称性较低的复式晶格结构声子晶体,只有采用对整个第一布里渊区进行研究的方法,才能获得可信的能带结构及带隙.

Lamb wave band gaps in locally resonant phononic crystal strip waveguides

Using finite element method, we have made a theoretically study of the band structure of Lamb wave in a locally resonant phononic crystal strip waveguide with periodic soft rubber attached on the two sides of epoxy main plate. The numerical results show that the Lamb wave band gap based on local resonant mechanism can be opened up in the stub strip waveguides, and the width of the local resonant band gap is narrower than that based on the Bragg scattering mechanism. The results also show that the stub shape and width have influence on the frequency and width of the Lamb wave band gap.     

Effect of defect configuration on the localization of phonons in two-dimensional phononic crystals

Effects of defect location on the defect frequency and the localization of phonons are investigated in two novel kinds of model, created by moving the location of the native cylinder and inserting an ad-cylinder in the central cellular respectively. The results show that the defect frequency in Model 1 is only related to the distance, while in Model 2, is related not only to the distance, but also to the moving direction. From the pressure distribution, obvious localization phenomenon is found. The position and shape of the localized energy are varied with the position of the defect.     

Wavelet-based method for computing elastic band gaps of one-dimensional phononic crystals

A wavelet-based method was developed to compute elastic band gaps of one-dimensional phononic crystals. The wave field was expanded in the wavelet basis and an equivalent eigenvalue problem was derived in a matrix form involving the adaptive computation of integrals of the wavelets. The method was then applied to a binary system. For comparison, the elastic band gaps of the same one-dimensional phononic crystals computed with the wavelet method and the well-known plane wave expansion (PWE) method are both presented in this paper. The numerical results of the two methods are in good agreement while the computation costs of the wavelet method are much lower than that of PWE method. In addition, the adaptability of wavelets makes the method possible for efficient band gap computation of more complex phononic structures.

Enhanced acoustic localization in the two-dimensional phononic crystals with slit tube defect

In this paper, the acoustic localization characteristics of the two-dimensional phononic crystals with slit tube defect are investigated theoretically and experimentally. In contrast to the typical formation pattern of defect states, the proposed defect states are created by replacing a slotted tube in the center of perfect phononic crystal. Compared to perfect phononic crystal, the proposed structure can effectively localize waves of specific frequencies in the point defect and improve the acoustic pressure amplification. Then the effects of the geometric parameters of the slotted tube on the acoustic localization characteristics are studied. Numerical results show that the resonant frequency and acoustic pressure amplification amplitude could be effectively modulated by the geometric parameters of the slotted tube. Experimental results are in good agreement with the simulation results.     

Accurate evaluation of lowest band gaps in ternary locally resonant phononic crystals

Based on a better understanding of the lattice vibration modes, two simple spring--mass models are constructed in order to evaluate the frequencies on both the lower and upper edges of the lowest locally resonant band gaps of the ternary locally resonant phononic crystals. The parameters of the models are given in a reasonable way based on the physical insight into the band gap mechanism. Both the lumped-mass methods and our models are used in the study of the influences of structural and the material parameters on frequencies on both edges of the lowest gaps in the ternary locally resonant phononic crystals. The analytical evaluations with our models and the theoretical predictions with the lumped-mass method are in good agreement with each other. The newly proposed heuristic models are helpful for a better understanding of the locally resonant band gap mechanism, as well as more accurate evaluation of the band edge frequencies.
