Linear Defect States of Phononic Crystal Thin Plates – An Application of Finite Element Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

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.
