In this paper, localization phenomena of in-plane time-harmonic elastic waves propagating in layered phononic crystals (PNCs) with different fractal superlattices are studied. For this purpose, oblique wave propagation in layered structures is considered. To describe wave localization phenomena, the localization factor is applied and computed by the transfer matrix method. Three typical fractal superlattices are considered, namely, the Cantorlike fractal superlattice (CLFSL), the golden-section fractal superlattice (GSFSL), and the Fibonacci fractal superlattice (FFSL). Numerical results for the localization factors of CLFSL, GSFSL, and FFSL are presented and analyzed. The results show that the localization factor of a CLFSL exhibits an approximate similarity and band-splitting properties. The number of decomposed bandgaps of the GSFSL and FFSL follows the composition of the special fractal structures. In addition, with increasing fractal series, the value of the localization factor is enlarged. These results are of great importance for structure design of fractal PNCs.

Match Theory

The band structures of in-plane elastic waves propagating in two-dimensional phononic crystals with one-dimensional aperiodicity are analyzed in this paper. The localization of wave propagation is discussed by introducing the concept of the localization factor that is calculated by the plane-wave-based transfer-matrix method. By treating the aperiodicity as the deviation from the periodicity in a special way, two kinds of aperiodic phononic crystals that have Thue-Morse and Rudin-Shapiro sequence in one direction and translational symmetry in the other direction are considered. The transmission coefficients based on eigenmode match theory are also calculated and the results show the same behaviors as the localization factor does. In the case of Thue-Morse and Rudin-Shapiro structures, the band structures of Thue-Morse sequence exhibit similarities with quasi-periodic sequence not present in the results of Rudin-Shapiro sequence.

Abstract This work proposes a unique configuration of two-dimensional metamaterial lattice grid comprising of curved and tapered beams. The propagation of elastic waves in the structure is analyzed using the dynamic stiffness matrix (DSM) approach and the Floquet-Bloch theorem. The DSM for the unit cell is formulated under the extensional theory of curved beam considering the effects of shear and rotary inertia. The study considers two types of variable rectangular cross-sections, viz. single taper and double taper along the length of the beam. Further, the effect of curvature and taper on the wave propagation is analysed through the band diagram along the irreducible Brillouin zone. It is shown that a complete band gap, i.e. attenuation band in all the directions of wave propagation, in a homogeneous structure can be tailored with a suitable combination of curvature and taper. Generation of the complete bandgap is hinged upon the coupling of axial and transverse component of the lattice grid. This coupling emerges due to the presence of the curvature and further enhanced due to tapering. The double taper cross-section is shown to have wider attenuation characteristics than single taper cross-sections. Specifically, 83.36% and 63% normalized complete bandwidth is achieved for the double and single taper cross-section for a homogeneous metamaterial, respectively. Additional characteristics of the proposed metamaterial in time and frequency domain of the finite structure, vibration attenuation, wave localization in the equivalent finite structure are also studied.

Cylindrical Inclusions

The formal solution resulting from the scattering of a plane, time-harmonic, compressional elastic wave impinged on a group of parallel circular cylindrical inclusions in a finite domain is obtained. The inclusions are rigid as well as immovable and the geometry of their configuration is arbitrary. The technique of “multiple scattering” which was developed in acoustic and electromagnetic wave propagation is applied. The stress field around two identical circular cylindrical inclusions at a finite separation is studied in detail.

Seismic System

Simple electronic circuitry and axially polarized ceramic transducers are employed to generate and detect elastic waves in a two‐dimensional analog model. The absence of reverberation and the basic simplicity. of construction underlie the advantages of this system. If the form of the fundamental wavelet in the model itself, as modified by the linear filtering effects of the remainder of the system, can be found, then calibration is achieved. This permits direct comparison of theoretical and experimental seismograms for a given model if its impulse response is known. A technique is developed for calibration and verified by comparing Lamb’s theoretical and experimental seismograms for elastic wave propagation over the edge of a half plate. This comparison also allows a critical examination of the basic assumptions inherent in a model seismic system.

Phononic crystals (PCs) have been widely reported to exhibit band gaps, which for non-dissipative systems are well defined from the dispersion relation as a frequency range in which no propagating (i.e., non-decaying) wave modes exist. However, the notion of a band gap is less clear in dissipative systems, as all wave modes exhibit attenuation. Various measures have been proposed to quantify the “evanescence” of frequency ranges and/or wave propagation directions, but these measures are not based on measurable physical quantities. Furthermore, in finite systems created by truncating a PC, wave propagation is strongly attenuated but not completely forbidden, and a quantitative measure that predicts wave transmission in a finite PC from the infinite dispersion relation is elusive. In this paper, we propose an “evanescence indicator” for PCs with 1D periodicity that relates the decay component of the Bloch wavevector to the transmitted wave amplitude through a finite PC. When plotted over a frequency range of interest, this indicator reveals frequency regions of strongly attenuated wave propagation, which are dubbed “fuzzy band gaps” due to the smooth (rather than abrupt) transition between evanescent and propagating wave characteristics. The indicator is capable of identifying polarized fuzzy band gaps, including fuzzy band gaps which exists with respect to “hybrid” polarizations which consist of multiple simultaneous polarizations. We validate the indicator using simulations and experiments of wave transmission through highly viscoelastic and finite phononic crystals.
