This paper discusses the wavelet-based Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method and high resolution spectral estimation with a specific problem of sound wave propagation through phononic crystals. If the band structures of a phononic crystal are calculated by the traditional FDTD method combined with the fast Fourier transform (FFT), good estimation of the eigenfrequencies can only be ensured by the postprocessing of sufficiently long time series generated by a large number of FDTD iterations. In this paper, a postprocessing method based on the high-resolution spectral estimation via the Yule-Walker method is proposed to overcome the difficulty. Numerical simulation results for two-dimensional phononic crystal show that, the wavelet-based FDTD method improves the efficiency of the time stepping algorithm, and high resolution spectral estimation shows the advantages over the classic FFT-based postprocessing.

Two dimensional multi-atom Archimedean-like phononic crystals (MAPCs) can be obtained by adding "atoms" at suitable positions in primitive cells of traditional simple lattices. Band structures of solid-solid and solid-air MAPCs are computed by the finite element method in conjunction with the Bloch theory. For the solid-solid system, our results show that the MAPCs can be suitably designed to split and shift band gaps of the corresponding traditional simple phononic crystal (i.e., with only one scatterer inside a primitive cell). For the solid-air system, the MAPCs have more and wider band gaps than the corresponding traditional simple phononic crystal. Numerical calculations for both solid-solid and solid-air MAPCs show that the band gap of traditional simple phononic crystal can be tuned by appropriately adding "atoms" into its primitive cell.

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.

Abstract Stamping is one of the most used manufacturing processes, where real-time monitoring is quite difficult due to high speed of the mechanical press, which leads to deterioration of the accuracy of the products In the present work, a method is developed to model elastic waves propagation in solids to measure contact conditions between die and workpiece during stamping. A two-dimensional model is developed that reduces the wave propagation equations to two-dimensional equations. To simulate the wave propagation inside the die-workpiece model, the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method and modified Yee algorithm has been employed. The numerical stability of the wave propagation model is achieved through courant stability condition, i.e., Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy (CFL) number. Two cases, i.e., flat die-workpiece interface and inclined die-workpiece interface, are investigated in the present work. The elastic wave propagation is simulated with a two-dimension (2D) model of the die and workpiece using reflecting boundary conditions for different material properties. The experimental and simulation-based results of reflected and transmitted wave characteristics are compared for different materials in terms of reflected and transmitted wave height ratio and material properties such as acoustic impedance. It is found that the numerical simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results.

The excellent applications and researches of so-called photonic crystals raise the exciting researches of phononic crystals. By the analogy between photon and phonon, repetitive composite structures that are made up of different elastic materials can also prevent elastic waves of some certain frequencies from passing by, i.e., the frequency band gap features also exist in acoustic waves. In this paper, we present the results of the tunable band gaps of acoustic waves in two-dimensional phononic crystals with reticular band structures using the finite element method. Band gaps variations of the bulk modes due to different thickness and angles of reticular band structures are calculated and discussed. The results show that the total elastic band gaps for mixed polarization modes can be enlarged or reduced by adjusting the orientation of the reticular band structures. The phenomena of band gaps of elastic or acoustic waves can potentially be utilized for vibration-free, high-precision mechanical systems, and sound insulation.

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.

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.
