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.

Abstract Locally resonant materials allow for wave propagation control in the sub-wavelength regime. Even though these materials do not need periodicity, they are usually designed as periodic systems since this allows for the application of the Bloch theorem and analysis of the entire system based on a single unit cell. However, geometries that are invariant to translation result in equations of motion with periodic coefficients only if we assume plane wave propagation. When wave fronts are cylindrical or spherical, a system realized through tessellation of a unit cell does not result in periodic coefficients and the Bloch theorem cannot be applied. Therefore, most studies of periodic locally resonant systems are limited to plane wave propagation. In this paper, we address this limitation by introducing a locally resonant effective phononic crystal composed of a radially-varying matrix with attached torsional resonators. This material is not geometrically periodic but exhibits effective periodicity, i.e. its equations of motion are invariant to radial translations, allowing the Bloch theorem to be applied to radially propagating torsional waves. We show that this material can be analyzed under the already developed framework for metamaterials. To show the importance of using an effectively periodic system, we compare its behavior to a system that is not effectively periodic but has geometric periodicity. We show considerable differences in transmission as well as in the negative effective properties of these two systems. Locally resonant effective phononic crystals open possibilities for subwavelength elastic wave control in the near field of sources.

AbstractPhononic crystals and acoustic metamaterials are periodic structures whose effective properties can be tailored at will to achieve extreme control on wave propagation. Their refractive index is obtained from the homogenization of the infinite periodic system, but it is possible to locally change the properties of a finite crystal in such a way that it results in an effective gradient of the refractive index. In such case the propagation of waves can be accurately described by means of ray theory, and different refractive devices can be designed in the framework of wave propagation in inhomogeneous media. In this paper we review the different devices that have been studied for the control of both bulk and guided acoustic waves based on graded phononic crystals.
