In this study, we have scrutinized the frequency gap generation by changing the geometrical parameters of a one-dimensional phononic crystal. For this purpose, we have calculated the transmission coefficient of an incident acoustic wave by using the transfer matrix method. We have retained and fixed the total length of the system and changed the system internal geometry not to increase the system length too much. Another reason was to adjust the phononic band gaps and get the desired transmission properties by finding the optimum internal geometry without increasing or decreasing the total length of phononic crystals. In addition, we also propose few structures with the opportunity of applications in acoustical devices such as sonic reflectors. Our results can also be of high interest to design acoustic filters in the case that transmission of certain frequencies is necessary.

In this study, we investigate band structures of phononic crystals with particular emphasis on the effects of the mass density ratio and of the contrast of elastic constants. The phononic crystals consist of arrays of different media embedded in a rubber or epoxy. It is shown that the density ratio rather than the contrast of elastic constants is the dominant factor that opens up phononic band gaps. The physical background of this observation is explained by applying the theory of homogenization to investigate the group velocities of the low-frequency bands at the center of symmetry Γ.

By deducing the spherical elastic wave equation in theory, the concept of sphere-radial phononic crystal is proposed, and then the equations to determine the acoustic band structures is deduced. A numerical example is given for steel/nitrile rubber phononic crystal. The numerical simulation results suggest that the band gaps of sphere-radial phononic crystals do exist, which have better attenuation characteristics and practical application performance than the one-dimensional phononic crystals.
