Combined with the supercell technique, the plane wave expansion method is used to calculate the band structures for the in-plane wave of the two-dimensional solid-solid phononic crystals with line defects and the random disorders in either radius or location of the scatterers. The influences of the random disorders on the band structures and guided waves will be discussed. Propagation of the wave with one certain frequency in the waveguiding phononic crystals with different disorder degree is studied.

In this paper, combined with the supercell technique, the plane wave expansion method is used to calculate the band structures of the two-dimensional phononic crystals with line defects and the random disorders in either radius or location of the scatterers. Phononic systems with plumbum scatterers embedded in an epoxy matrix are calculated in detail. The influences of the random disorder on the band structures of anti-plane waveguiding modes will be discussed. The displacement distributions are calculated to show the wave localization phenomenon. Propagation of the guided wave in the phononic crystals with different disordered degree is studied. The analysis is relevant to the assessment of the influences of manufacture errors on wave behaviors in waveguiding phononic crystals as well as the possible control of wave propagation by intentionally introducing disorders into the systems.

The supercell based plane wave expansion method is used to study the effects of random disorders on the band structures of a two-dimensional (2D) solid-fluid phononic crystal. Phononic systems with steel scatterers embedded in a water matrix are calculated in detail. The radius disorder and location disorder are concerned. The influences of the disorder degree on the first band gap are investigated. The localization phenomenon is discussed by computing the displacement fields in the supercell.

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.

In this paper, a new structure of two-dimensional (2D) square-lattice photonic crystal (SLPC) with button-shaped dielectric rods (BSDRs) is designed, and the properties of band gaps are analyzed by Plane Wave Expansion Method (PWM). The optimal samples that possess the width of absolute band gap are obtained by scanning the three parameters: the radius of large circular R in button mark, the ratio of the radius of small circular to the radius of large circular r/R, and the rotating angle of button mark Ө. It is shown that when r/R=0.485, R=0.406um, and Ө =750, the largest absolute band gap of 0.0406 (ωa/2πc) exists for normalized frequencies in the range 0.7501 to 0.7910 (ωa/2πc). Besides,we can get at most five absolute band gaps when r/R=0.485, R=0.406um, and Ө =600.
