ELASTIC WAVE LOCALIZATION IN TWO-DIMENSIONAL PHONONIC CRYSTALS WITH ONE-DIMENSIONAL QUASI-PERIODICITY AND RANDOM DISORDER

The band structures of both in-plane and anti-plane elastic waves propagating in two-dimensional ordered and disordered （in one direction） phononic crystals are studied in this paper. The localization of wave propagation due to random disorder is discussed by introducing the concept of the localization factor that is calculated by the plane-wave-based transfer-matrix method. By treating the quasi-periodicity as the deviation from the periodicity in a special way, two kinds of quasi phononic crystal that has quasi-periodicity （Fibonacci sequence） in one direction and translational symmetry in the other direction are considered and the band structures are characterized by using localization factors. The results show that the localization factor is an effective parameter in characterizing the band gaps of two-dimensional perfect, randomly disordered and quasi-periodic phononic crystals. Band structures of the phononic crystals can be tuned by different random disorder or changing quasi-periodic parameters. The quasi phononic crystals exhibit more band gaps with narrower width than the ordered and randomly disordered systems.     

Band gaps of elastic waves in three-dimensional piezoelectric phononic crystals with initial stress

In this paper, the stop band properties of elastic waves in three-dimensional piezoelectric phononic crystals with initial stress are studied taking the mechanical and electrical coupling into account. The band gap characteristics for three kinds of lattice arrangements (i.e. sc, bcc and fcc) are investigated by the plane wave expansion (PWE) method. Regarding the variables of mechanical and electrical fields as the elements of the generalized state vector, the expression of the generalized eigenvalue equation for three-dimensional piezoelectric periodic structures is derived. Numerical calculations are performed for the PZT-2/polymer and ZnO/polymer phononic crystals. It can be observed from the results that the fcc lattice is more favorable to create the stop band than the sc and bcc lattices for the piezoelectric phononic crystals, which has also been proved for the pure elastic periodic structures. Compared with the PZT-2/polymer systems, the band gap of the sc lattice for the ZnO/polymer structures is narrower. However, the widths of the bcc and fcc lattices for the ZnO/polymer phononic crystals are much larger than those for the PZT-2/polymer structures. The lattice arrangements and the piezoelectricity have remarkable influences on the stop band behaviors.

Wave band gaps in two-dimensional piezoelectric/piezomagnetic phononic crystals

In this paper, the elastic wave propagation in phononic crystals with piezoelectric and piezomagnetic inclusions is investigated taking the magneto-electro-elastic coupling into account. The electric and magnetic fields are approximated as quasi-static. The band structures of three kinds of piezoelectric/piezomagnetic phononic crystals—CoFe₂O₄/quartz, BaTiO₃/CoFe₂O₄ and BaTiO₃–CoFe₂O₄/polymer periodic composites are calculated using the plane-wave expansion method. The piezoelectric and piezomagnetic effects on the band structures are analyzed. The numerical results show that in CoFe₂O₄/quartz structures, only one narrow band gap exists along the Γ–X direction for the coupling of xy-mode and z-mode for the filling fraction f being 0.4; while in BaTiO₃/CoFe₂O₄ composites, only one narrow band gap exists along the Γ–X direction forxy-mode and no band gap exists for z-mode as the filling friction f is 0.5. Moreover, for the new type of magneto-electro-elastic phononic crystal—BaTiO₃–CoFe₂O₄/polymer periodic composite, the band gap characteristics are more superior in the whole considered frequency regions due to the big contrast of the material properties in the two constituents and the effects of the piezoelectricity and piezomagneticity on the band gap structures are remarkable.

Piezoelectric-sensitive mode of lamb wave in one-dimensional piezoelectric phononic crystal plate

We investigate the transmission modes in one-dimensional piezoelectric phononic crystal plate, which is consisted of piezoelectric ceramics placed periodically in epoxy. The influences of piezoelectricity and different electrical boundary conditions on the Lamb waves in the composite plate are studied in detail, and an important elastic wave mode named as piezoelectric-sensitive mode (PSM) is defined. Furthermore, the influences of the piezoelectric constants, the filling fraction and the ratio of thickness to lattice pitch on PSM are given, and the physical mechanism of PSM is also discussed. The numerical results show that PSM has a relatively larger frequency shift and significant change in the displacement distribution when piezoelectricity is considered; the electromechanical coupling coefficient of PSM is much larger than the other modes. It reveals that PSM is an important and useful mode in piezoelectric periodic structures. This investigation is helpful in controlling the band gaps and also gives a potential application in design of sensing system and different piezoelectric devices.     

Wave localization in randomly disordered layered three-component phononic crystals with thermal effects

In this paper, the propagation and localization of elastic waves in randomly disordered layered three-component phononic crystals with thermal effects are studied. The transfer matrix is obtained by applying the continuity conditions between three consecutive sub-cells. Based on the transfer matrix method and Bloch theory, the expressions of the localization factor and dispersion relation are presented. The relation between the localization factors and dispersion curves is discussed. Numerical simulations are performed to investigate the influences of the incident angle on band structures of ordered phononic crystals. For the randomly disordered ones, disorders of structural thickness ratios and Lamé constants are considered. The incident angles, disorder degrees, thickness ratios, Lamé constants and temperature changes have prominent effects on wave localization phenomena in three-component systems. Furthermore, it can be observed that stopbands locate in very low-frequency regions. The localization factor is an effective way to investigate randomly disordered phononic crystals in which the band structure cannot be described.     

Band structure properties of elastic waves propagating in the nanoscaled nearly periodic layered phononic crystals

The localization factor is used to describe the band structures for P wave propagating normally in the nanoscaled nearly periodic layered phononic crystals. The localization factor is calculated by the transfer matrix method based on the nonlocal elastic continuum theory.Three kinds of nearly periodic arrangements are concerned, i.e., random disorder, quasiperiodicity and defects. The influences of randomly disordered degree of the sub-layer's thickness and mass density, the arrangement of quasi-periodicity and the location of defect on the band structures and cut-off frequency are analyzed in detail.     

PHONONIC BAND GAPS IN TWO-DIMENSIONAL HYBRID TRIANGULAR LATTICE

<正>Absolute phononic band gaps can be substantially improved in two-dimensional lattices by using a symmetry reduction approach.In this paper,the propagation of elastic waves in a two-dimensional hybrid triangular lattice structure consisting of stainless steel cylinders in air is investigated theoretically.The band structure is calculated with the plane wave expansion (PWE)method.The hybrid triangular Bravais lattice is formed by two kinds of triangular lattices. Different from ordinary triangular lattices,the band gap opens at low frequency(between the first and the second bands)regime because of lifting the bands degeneracy at high symmetry points of the Brillouin zone.The location and width of the band gaps can be tuned by the position of the additional rods.     

Folding beam-type piezoelectric phononic crystal with low-frequency and broad band gap

A folding beam-type piezoelectric phononic crystal model is proposed to isolate vibration. Two piezoelectric bimorphs are joined by two masses as a folding structure to comprise each unit cell of the piezoelectric phononic crystal. Each bimorph is connected independently by a resistive-inductive resonant shunting circuit. The folding structure extends the propagation path of elastic waves, while its structure size remains quite small. Propagation of coupled extension-flexural elastic waves is studied by the classical laminated beam theory and transfer matrix method. The theoretical model is further verified with the finite element method(FEM). The effects of geometrical and circuit parameters on the band gaps are analyzed. With only 4 unit cells, the folding beam-type piezoelectric phononic crystal generates two Bragg band gaps of 369 Hz to1 687 Hz and 2 127 Hz to 4 000 Hz. In addition, between these two Bragg band gaps, a locally resonant band gap is induced by resonant shunting circuits. Appropriate circuit parameters are used to join these two Bragg band gaps by the locally resonant band gap.Thus, a low-frequency and broad band gap of 369 Hz to 4 000 Hz is obtained.     

Complete band gaps in two-dimensional piezoelectric phononic crystals with {1–3} connectivity family

In this paper, we present results of full band structures for two-dimensional piezoelectric phononic crystals with {1–3} connectivity family. The plane-wave-expansion (PWE) method is applied to the theoretical derivation of secular equations of the two polarization modes: a transverse polarization mode and a mixed (longitudinal-transverse) polarization mode. And the band structures of the two modes for both the case of piezoelectric rods embedded in a polymer matrix and the case of polymer rods embedded in a piezoelectric matrix are calculated for two different cross-sections of the rods, i.e., circular and square, considering the practical fabrication of phononic crystals. We reveal the existence of several very large complete band gaps in a material of practical interest such as PZT rods reinforced polythene composite. The effects of shapes and filling fraction of the rods on band gaps are discussed in detail. The existence of these gaps in relation to the physical parameters of the constituent materials involved is studied. Understanding the band structures of piezoelectric phononic crystals can give some information for improvements in the design of acoustic transducers.     

Application of plane wave expansion and stiffness matrix methods to study transmission properties and guided mode of phononic plates

Numerical procedure based on plane wave expansion and stiffness matrix method is developed to calculate the transmission factor of a micro two-dimensional phononic plate. Calculations of the dispersion curve have been achieved by introducing particular functions which transform motion equations into an eigenvalue problem. The state vector has been generalized to a phononic material, it leads to a comparatively convenient matrix formulation. The influence of the layer number on the transmission factor is studied. In addition, our interest is focused on the observed gap and how it behaves when phononic structure undergoes a slight change. The result shows that if the central phononic layer is replaced by one or two homogeneous layers, guided modes originate inside the frequency band gaps.     

INFLUENCES OF ANISOTROPY ON BAND GAPS OF 2D PHONONIC CRYSTAL

Band gaps of 2D phononic crystal with orthotropic cylindrical fillers embedded in the isotropic host are studied in this paper. Two kinds of periodic structures, namely, the square lattice and the triangle lattice, are considered. For anisotropic phononic crystal, band gaps not only depend on the periodic lattice but also the angle between the symmetry axis of orthotropic material and that of the periodic structure. Rotating these cylindrical fillers makes the angle changing continuously; as a result, pass bands and forbidden bands of the phononic crystal are changed. The plane wave expansion method is used to reduce the band gap problem to an eigenvalue problem. The numerical example is given for YBCO/Epoxy composites. The location and the width of band gaps are estimated for different rotating angles. The influence of anisotropy on band gaps is discussed based on numerical results.

随机声子晶体不确定性分析的直接概率积分法

由于制造工艺存在大量不确定因素,声子晶体材料属性不可避免地具有随机不确定性,使得声子晶体的物理响应呈现随机性,进而对声子晶体的减振降噪性能造成不利影响。如果采用传统的蒙特卡洛方法对随机声子晶体的物理响应进行不确定性量化,则计算代价昂贵。为此,本文基于高效的直接概率积分法对含随机材料参数的声子晶体开展不确定性量化研究。首先,在直接概率积分法框架下,对随机声子晶体能带结构的上下边界频率、带隙宽度和频率响应函数进行了不确定性量化,考察了随机参数大变异性对声子晶体带隙宽度的影响。然后,建立了声子晶体减振降噪可靠度计算公式,对考虑随机不确定性影响下的声子晶体减振降噪性能进行了定量评估。通过与蒙特卡洛方法比较,两个算例验证了直接概率积分法在随机声子晶体不确定性传播和减振降噪可靠性评估中的准确性和高效性。最后,基于直接概率积分法对局域共振型随机声子晶体进行了可靠度分析。结果表明,橡胶材料的随机性对局域共振型声子晶体减振降噪性能有较大影响。     

A Gradient-Based Optimization Method for the Design of Layered Phononic Band-Gap Materials

Phononic materials with specific band-gap characteristics at desired frequency ranges are in great demand for vibration and noise isolation, elastic wave filters, and acoustic devices.The attenuation coefficient curve depicts both the frequency range of band gap and the attenuation of elastic wave, where the frequency ranges corresponding to the none-zero attenuation coefficients are band gaps. Therefore, the band-gap characteristics can be achieved through maximizing the attenuation coefficient at the corresponding frequency or within the corresponding frequency range. Because the attenuation coefficient curve is not smooth in the frequency domain,the gradient-based optimization methods cannot be directly used in the design optimization of phononic band-gap materials to achieve the maximum attenuation within the desired frequency range. To overcome this difficulty, the objective of maximizing the attenuation coefficient is transformed into maximizing its Cosine, and in this way, the objective function is smoothed and becomes differentiable. Based on this objective function, a novel gradient-based optimization approach is proposed to open the band gap at a prescribed frequency range and to further maximize the attenuation efficiency of the elastic wave at a specific frequency or within a prescribed frequency range. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed gradient-based optimization method for enhancing the wave attenuation properties.

Propagation of bending waves in phononic crystal thin plates with a point defect

In this paper, the band structures of bending waves in a phononic crystal thin plate with a point defect are studied using an improved plane wave expansion method combined with the supercell technique. In particular, a phononic crystal thin plate composed of an array of circular crystalline Al₂O₃ cylinders embedded in an epoxy matrix with a square lattice is considered in detail. Full band gaps are shown. When a point defect is introduced, the bending waves are highly localized at or near the defect, resulting in defect modes. The frequency and number of the defect modes are strongly dependent on the filling fraction of the system and the size of the point defect. The defect bands appear from the upper edge of the gap and move to the middle of the gap as the defect size is reduced. For a given defect, the frequencies of the defect bands increase as the filling fraction increases.     

Propagation behavior of elastic waves in one-dimensional piezoelectric/piezomagnetic phononic crystal with line defects

Using a stiffness matrix method, we in- vestigate the propagation behaviors of elastic waves in one-dimensional （1D） piezoelectric/piezomagnetic （PE/PM） phononic crystals （PCs） with line defects by calculating energy reflection/transmittion coefficients of quasi-pressure and quasi-shear waves. Line defects are created by the re- placement of PE or PM constituent layer. The defect modes existing in the first gap are considered and the influences on defect modes of the material properties and volume fraction of the defect layers, the type of incident waves, the location of defect layer and the number of structural layers are discussed in detail. Numerical results indicate that defect modes are the most obvious when the defect layers are inserted in the middle of the perfect PCs; the types of incidence wave and material properties of the defect layers have important effects on the numbers, the location of frequencies and the peaks of defect modes, and the defect modes are strongly de- pendent on volume fraction of the defect layers. We hope this paper will be found useful for the design of PE/PM acoustic filters or acoustic transducer with PCs structures.
