The improved supercell plane wave expansion method is applied to theoretically study the propagation of flexural waves in a ternary locally resonant phononic crystal thin plate with a point defect and linear defects. The thin concrete plate composed of a square array of steel cylinders hemmed around by rubber is considered here. Absolute band gaps in low frequency are obtained. For the point defect, the defect mode is localized around the defect, and the magnitude of the resonant defect mode is strongly dependent on the defect filling fraction, mass density and Young’s modulus of the defect cylinder. For the straight linear defects, several resonant linear defect bands appear inside the absolute band gap. And the displacement distributions show that the flexural waves could well propagate along the linear defects.

The band structures of flexural waves in a ternary locally resonant phononic crystal thin plate are studied using the improved plane wave expansion method. And the thin concrete plate composed of a square array of steel cylinders hemmed around by rubber is considered here. Absolute band gaps of flexural vibration with low frequency are shown. The calculation results show that the band gap width is strongly dependent on the filling fraction, the radius ratio, the mass density and the Young’s modulus contrasts between the core and the coating. So by changing these physical parameters, the required band gap could be obtained.

Propagation of flexural vibration in a ternary phononic crystal thin plate with a point defect are explored using finite element method. The thin concrete plate is composed of steel cylinders hemmed around by rubber with a square lattice. Absolute band gaps, point defect bands and transmission response curves with low frequency are investigated. Comparing the results of finite element method with that of improved plane wave expansion method, precise identifications are obtained to identify the point defect states. The results show that the finite element method is suitable for the exploring of flexural vibration propagating in ternary phononic crystal thin plates.

Based on the finite element method, the propagation of flexural vibration in a binary phononic crystal thick plate with a point defect is studied. The plate is composed of a square array of concrete cylinders embedded in the rubber matrix. Complete band structure and frequency response function of this perfect thick plate indicates the existence of low-frequency absolute band gap. Detailed investigations have been carried out to study the dependence of the width of absolute band gap on both structural and material parameters. For the point defect, the defect modes are localized around the defect, and the frequency and the number of the defect bands are significantly dependent on the filling fraction, the size and the mass density of the defect cylinder. To better support the statement of the defect band structures, we also represent the frequency response function of the propagation of flexural vibration in the thick plate with a point defect. Based on the detailed investigations, both the absolute band gap and the defect bands of a binary thick plate could be modulated with appropriate parameters. It may be useful to vibration control in engineering structure.

The band gap of a new two-dimensional phononic crystal was studied by the plane-wave expansion method. The two-dimensional phononic crystal is formed by square-shape array geometry of iron cylinders with square cross section inserted in an epoxy resin. The band gaps of different structures were calculated such as defect-free, single cavity crystal point defect states, crystal point defect states with (10) direction coupling, crystal point defect states with (10) direction next-nearest-neighbor coupling, and crystal point defect states with (11) direction next-nearest-neighbor coupling. Compared with that of defect-free, it is conclude that point defect is beneficial to the production of band gaps. The bandwidth of point defect is about 5 times larger than that of the defect-free crystal with the filling fraction F=0.4. In addition, the maximum number of band gap is in the crystal point defect states with (10) direction next-nearest-neighbor coupling. It will provide a theoretical reference for the manufacture of phononic crystal.

We study energy harvesting in a binary phononic crystal (PC) beam at the defect mode. Specifically, we consider the placement of a mismatched unit cell related to the excitation point. The mismatched unit cell contains a perfect segment and a geometrically mismatched one with a lower flexural rigidity which serves as a point defect. We show that the strain in the defect PC beam is much larger than those in homogeneous beams with a defect segment. We suggest that the defect segment should be arranged in the first unit cell, but not directly connected to the excitation source, to achieve efficient less-attenuated localized energy harvesting. To harvest the energy, a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) film is attached on top of the mismatched segment. Our numerical and experimental results indicate that the placement of the mismatched segment, which has not been addressed for PC beams under mechanical excitation, plays an important role in efficient energy harvesting based on the defect mode.

Longitudinal vibration of thin phononic crystal plates with a hybrid square-like array of square inserts is investigated. The plane wave expansion method is used to calculate the vibration band structure of the plate. Numerical results show that rotated square inserts can open several vibration gaps, and the band structures are twisted because of the rotation of inserts. Filling fraction and material of the insert affect the change law of the gap width versus the rotation angles of square inserts.

With the plane wave expansion method, we introduced the concept and theory of two-dimensional function photonic crystal, and compared the theoretical difference of two-dimensional function photonic crystal with the conventional photonic crystal. In Numerical calculation, with COMSOL software based on finite element method, we have studied the bandgap structure, defect mode and eigenfield distribution for the two-dimensional function photonic crystal with and without point defect. For the two-dimensional function photonic crystal, the dielectric constant of dielectric column is the space coordinate function, which can be realized by the electro-optic effect and the Kerr effect. In the paper, we studied the dielectric constant function form is [Formula: see text](r) = kr + b, and the parameters k and b can be adjusted by changing the electric field or light intensity applied to the dielectric column. By changing the parameters k or b of the dielectric column dielectric constant, we found the two-dimensional function photonic crystal transmission characteristics have the adjustability, i.e., the bandgap structure, the bandgap position and width, the defect mode position, width and number and the defect mode eigenfield distribution can be changed by adjusting the parameters k or b, which can be used to conveniently design the bandgap structure that we need. These conclusions will provide important theoretical basis and methods for optical devices design.

In this paper, propagation of flexural vibration in phononic crystal thin plates with straight, bending or branching linear defects are explored using finite element method. The plate is composed of an array of circular crystalline Al2O3 cylinders embedded periodically in the epoxy matrix with a square lattice. The numerical results showed that accurate band structures and transmission response curves could be obtained by finite element method compared with that of improved plane wave expansion method. The exploration indicated that finite element method is efficient and suitable in dealing with the wave propagation in phononic crystal, and displays potential abilities in dealing with complex structures.

A method for calculating the effective sound velocities for a 1D phononic crystal is presented; it is valid when the lattice constant is much smaller than the acoustic wave length; therefore, the periodic medium could be regarded as a homogeneous one. The method is based on the expansion of the displacements field into plane waves, satisfying the Bloch theorem. The expansion allows us to obtain a wave equation for the amplitude of the macroscopic displacements field. From the form of this equation we identify the effective parameters, namely, the effective sound velocities for the transverse and longitudinal macroscopic displacements in the homogenized 1D phononic crystal. As a result, the explicit expressions for the effective sound velocities in terms of the parameters of isotropic inclusions in the unit cell are obtained: mass density and elastic moduli. These expressions are used for studying the dependence of the effective, transverse and longitudinal, sound velocities for a binary 1D phononic crystal upon the inclusion filling fraction. A particular case is presented for 1D phononic crystals composed of W-Al and Polyethylene-Si, extending for a case solid-fluid.
