The topological distribution of the material phases inside the unit cell composing a phononic crystal has a significant effect on its dispersion characteristics. This topology can be engineered to produce application-specific requirements. In this paper, a specialized genetic-algorithm-based topology optimization methodology for the design of two-dimensional phononic crystals is presented. Specifically the target is the opening and maximization of band gap size for (i) out-of-plane waves, (ii) in-plane waves and (iii) both out-of-plane and in-plane waves simultaneously. The methodology as well as the resulting designs are presented.

Match Theory

We study theoretically the symmetric property and coupling efficiency of the defect modes in a two-dimensional phononic crystal by calculating band structures, field distributions and transmission coefficients of the defect modes. The results show that the point defect could act as a microcavity surrounded by the phononic crystal, and the confining ability of the phononic crystal to the resonant modes strongly depends on the thickness of the phononic crystal. By investigating the transmission spectra, we also find that the defect modes cannot be absolutely excited by the normally incident plane waves. The transmission coefficients are calculated by using the eigen-mode match theory method under the supercell technique, which is applied to the phononic crystals with the defects for the first time.

Circular Holes

In this paper, a method based on the displacement-traction map is developed to calculate the bandgaps of transverse waves propagating in a 2D phononic crystal composed of nanosized circular holes in a square lattice. The Young-Laplace equation is employed to take into account of the surface effects of the nanosized holes. Detailed calculations are performed for the system with nanosized circular holes in an aluminum host with or without the surface effect. The result shows that all bands descend with the first bandgap becoming wider due to the existence of the surface effects.

Viscoelastic materials can dissipate energy and hinder propagation for plane waves, which can adjust the band structures of phononic crystals (PCs). In this study, the wave propagation in a two-dimensional PC with a viscoelastic matrix is investigated. The Maxwell model is utilized to analyze the effect of material parameters on the frequency dependence of viscoelasticity. Material parameters include the relaxation time, the initial value and the final value of the shear modulus. Band structures of viscoelastic phononic crystals (VPCs) are solved by combining the plane wave expansion method and iterative algorithm based on Bloch theory. The effects of the viscoelasticity on the band structures are studied using the single-mode and multi-mode Maxwell models. Results reveal that the viscoelasticity of the materials not only extends the band gaps but also shifts the band gaps to lower frequencies. Furthermore, the viscoelasticity simulated by the multi-mode model can precisely adjust anyone of the band gaps of VPCs separately. Results provide insights into the design and applications of VPCs.

AbstractValley degree of freedom, associated with the valley topological phase, has propelled the advancement of the elastic waveguide by offering immunity to backscattering against bending and weak perturbations. Despite many attempts to manipulate the wave path and working frequency of the waveguide, internal characteristic of an elastic wave such as rich polarization has not yet been utilized with valley topological phases. Here, we introduce the rich polarization into the valley degree of freedom, to achieve topologically protected in-plane and out-of-plane mode separation of an elastic wave. Accidental degeneracy proves its real worth of decoupling the in-plane and out-of-plane polarized valley Hall phases. We further demonstrate independent and simultaneous control of in-plane and out-of-plane waves, with intact topological protection. The presenting procedure for designing the topologically protected wave separation based on accidental degeneracy will widen the valley topological physics in view of both generation mechanism and application areas.
