The influence of point defect array on directional emission of phononic crystal waveguide

Abstract

A novel composite waveguide is proposed to improve the directional emission of phononic crystal waveguide by introducing a point defect array. The finite element simulations indicate that the point defects attached to the output surface of phononic crystal waveguide produce resonant modes, which act as secondary radiation sources. The interferences of sound wave radiated from these radiation sources and waveguide can enhance the normal radiation intensity by 161.21% and reduce the half-power angular width by 85.35%. In addition, when the number of the point defects is large enough, the directivity approaches a steady value. The investigation provides a new method to improve the directional emission of phononic crystal waveguide.

Homogenization theory for designing graded viscoelastic sonic crystals

“…Sonic crystals can exhibit acoustic bandgaps where acoustic waves are forbidden and control the propagation of the acoustic waves. [1][2][3][4] Many acoustic devices have been designed and they demonstrate an extensive application prospect, such as filters, sound barriers, waveguides, etc. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] But realistic structures are dissipative and have losses.…”

Manipulation of extraordinary acoustic transmission by a tunable bull's eye structure

“…[1] Optical metamaterials have shown many applications, such as extraordinary optical transmission (EOT), [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] optical superlensing, [12,13] and invisibility optical cloaking. [14] On the other hand, acoustic metamaterials have been proposed to have many potential applications, such as extraordinary acoustic transmission (EAT), [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] collimation and focusing, [25][26][27] acoustic cloaking, [28,29] sonar sensing, [30] and acoustic filter. [31][32][33] Acoustic grating has been widely used to tune many aspects of acoustic transmission, such as the realization of unidirectional acoustic transmission, [34][35][36] extremely flat transmission under oblique incidence, [37] and the EAT.…”
