Effect of prestress on phononic band gaps induced by inertial amplification

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.

Angle Of Rotation

In this study, we have investigated the band structure of elastic waves propagating in a phononic crystal, consisting of an epoxy matrix reinforced by Al2O3 inclusions in a square and hexagonal lattices. We also studied the influence of the inclusion geometry cross section – circular, hollow circular, square and rotated square with a 45° angle of rotation with respect to the x, y axes. The plane wave expansion (PWE) method is used to solve the wave equation considering the wave propagation in the xy plane (longitudinal-transverse vibration, XY mode, and transverse vibration, Z mode). The complete band gaps between the XY and Z modes are observed to circular, square and rotated square cross section inclusion and the best performance is for rotated square cross section inclusion in a square lattice. We suggest that the Al2O3/epoxy composite is feasible for vibrations management.
