Experimental evidence for the existence of absolute acoustic band gaps in two-dimensional periodic composite media

چکیده
Transmission of acoustic waves in two-dimensional binary solid/solid composite media composed of arrays of Duralumin cylindrical inclusions embedded in an epoxy resin matrix is studied. The experimental transmission spectrum and theoretical band structure of two periodic arrays of cylinders organized on a square lattice and on a centred rectangular network are reported. Absolute gaps extending throughout the first two-dimensional Brillouin zone are predicted. The measured transmission is observed to drop to noise level throughout frequency intervals in reasonable agreement with the calculated forbidden frequency bands.

Experimental and theoretical evidence for the existence of absolute acoustic band gaps in two-dimensional solid phononic crystals.
Experimental measurements of acoustic transmission through a solid-solid two-dimensional binary-composite medium constituted of a triangular array of parallel circular steel cylinders in an epoxy matrix are reported. Attention is restricted to propagation of elastic waves perpendicular to the cylinders. Measured transmitted spectra demonstrate the existence of absolute stop bands, i.e., band ga...
متن کاملIn-plane Band Gaps in a Periodic Plate with Piezoelectric Patches
A plate periodically bonded with piezoelectric patches on its surfaces is considered. The differential quadrature element method is used to solve the wave motion equation for the two-dimensional periodic structure. The method is very simple and easy to implement. Based on the method, band structures for in-plane wave propagating in the periodic piezoelectric plate are studied, from which the fr...
متن کاملA periodic folded piezoelectric beam for efficient vibration energy harvesting
Periodic piezoelectric beams have been used for broadband vibration energy harvesting in recent years. In this paper, a periodic folded piezoelectric beam (PFPB) is introduced. The PFPB has special features that distinguish it from other periodic piezoelectric beams. The Adomian decomposition method (ADM) is used to calculate the first two band gaps andtwelve natural frequencies of the PF...
متن کاملComplete band gaps in two-dimensional phononic crystal slabs.
The propagation of acoustic waves in a phononic crystal slab consisting of piezoelectric inclusions placed periodically in an isotropic host material is analyzed. Numerical examples are obtained for a square lattice of quartz cylinders embedded in an epoxy matrix. It is found that several complete band gaps with a variable bandwidth exist for elastic waves of any polarization and incidence. In ...
متن کاملBand-Gap Structure of Spectra of Periodic Dielectric and Acoustic Media. I. Scalar Model
We investigate the band-gap structure of the spectrum of second-order partial differential operators associated with the propagation of waves in a periodic two-component medium. The medium is characterized by a real-valued position-dependent periodic function "(x) that is the dielectric constant for electromagnetic waves and mass density for acoustic waves. The imbedded component consists of a ...
