1. Introduction In recent years, there has been considerable interest in the study of phononic crystals structures, which are periodic composite materials with acoustic analogues of photonic crystals [1–7]. One of the celebrated techniques for analysis of such media is based on Floquet wave theory and transfer matrix method [8–13]. Although the transfer matrix method is applicable in principle, its direct implementation has been found to suffer from numerical instability when the layer is lossy, frequency is high and/or thickness is large. To circumvent the problem, many techniques have been proposed. One approach called the impedance (stiffness) matrix method has been introduced in [14–17]. Although the method maintains the numerical stability when the layer thickness grows to infinity, it is inaccurate when the thickness reduces toward zero [17]. Moreover, the Floquet waves for periodic media are really the eigenvectors of transfer matrix and not those of impedance matrix. In this paper, we present a method based on the solution to a generalized eigenproblem of hybrid matrix for stable analysis of Floquet wave propagation in one-dimensional phononic crystals with solids and fluids. The method utilizes the hybrid matrix of each layer in a recursive algorithm to deduce the stack hybrid matrix

[18,19]. Similar to the impedance matrix method, the hybrid matrix method is able to eliminate the numerical instability of transfer matrix method. Moreover, contrary to the impedance matrix, the hybrid matrix remains to be well-conditioned and accurate even for zero or small thicknesses. Section 2 describes the standard eigenproblem of transfer matrix method. The stability and accuracy of both transfer matrix and impedance matrix methods are also discussed. Section 3 presents the generalized eigenproblem of hybrid matrix method. The recursion relations of hybrid matrix for periodic multilayered structure of various solid and/or fluid phases are formulated. While the standard eigenproblem of transfer matrix may have difficulties to determine Floquet waves, the generalized eigenproblem of hybrid matrix method can alleviate the problem. In Section 4, some numerical implementation examples are described. Dispersion relation and omnidirectional reflection for one-dimensional phononic crystals with solids and fluids are discussed. The frequency–thickness range of phononic bandgap is determined conveniently based on the Floquet wavenumbers. 2. Standard eigenproblem of transfer matrix 2.1.

To deduce the stack hybrid matrix for unit cell, we consider the recursion relation starting from the top layer N. Let us first assume that the two adjacent layers are of the same phase, i.e. solid–solid or fluid–fluid.

From the above, we see that both (30) and (31) have similar form as (26), except partitioning of stack hybrid submatrices in (30) and replacement of layer hybrid submatrices by h in (31).
With the aid of stable QZ algorithms [21], the eigensolutions to (33) can be computed reliably through a(j) and b(j) (rather than ðjÞ pF ¼ aðjÞ =bðjÞ directly), where a(j) and b(j) are the diagonal elements of the triangular matrices QHAZ and QHBZ obtained by QZ factorization. Note that it is possible that b(j) ? 0 for some j, which could ðjÞ then make jpF j ! 1.

The materials are characterized by the parameters shown in Table 1. To better demonstrate the numerical problem, the cell materials are also arbitrarily made lossy with complex viscoelastic constants, 00 C IJ ¼ C 0IJ iC IJ , where C 00IJ ¼ 0:01C 0IJ . From Fig. 2, it is observed that the first method may give corrupted results for fhF larger than about 10 103 m=s. This is because when fhF increases, the cell

Fig. 3. Structures for unit cell composed of solid and fluid.
Without loss of generality, let us consider a unit cell of infinite periodic media that is composed of one solid layer and one fluid layer (solid–fluid cell), as shown in Fig. 3a. To treat the solid, one previous approach is to model only the longitudinal wave [2]. However, this approach is correct only when the wave is incident normally as to be shown below. Meanwhile, one can notice that the cell is equivalent to the structure that is made up by a solid layer placed between two fluid layers (fluid–solid–fluid cell), as shown in Fig. 3b. Alternatively, it is also equivalent to the structure that is made up by a fluid layer placed between two solid layers (solid–fluid–solid cell), as shown in Fig. 3c. For all the structures of Fig. 3, the generalized eigenproblem of hybrid matrix method may be applied by taking into account all acoustic waves (including shear waves in solids). Note that for Fig. 3b, since HA and HB are 2 2 matrices, the generalized eigenproblem of (33) has two eigenvalues and eigenvectors. On the other hand, for Fig. 3c, HA and HB are 6 6 matrices. In this case, because HA and HB are not full rank matrices, the generalized eigenproblem of (33) still has two eigenvalues and eigenvectors after one eliminates four fictitious solutions. As for Fig. 3a, HA and HB are 4 4 matrices and (34) needs to be modified slightly (easier alternative method is described below). In Fig. 4, we plot the relation of kzFhF/2p (real part) and fhF for (a) 0° (normal) and (b) 80° incidence. The structures are those of Fig. 3a (solid–fluid hso ¼ hfl ) considering all waves in solid and only longitudinal wave in solid, Fig. 3b (fluid–solid–fluid 2hfl1 ¼ hfl ¼ hso ) and Fig. 3c (solid–fluid–solid 2hso1 ¼ hso ¼ hfl ). The solid and fluid are aluminium and water, respectively. Here

The solid and fluid are aluminium and water, respectively. The incident angles correspond to longitudinal waves in aluminium.

and henceforth, no viscosity is assumed for simplicity. The incident angles correspond to longitudinal waves in aluminium. From Fig. 4, one can see that the results for all equivalent structures of Fig. 4 match very well at normal and oblique incidence. The approach that models only the longitudinal wave in solid is correct only when the wave is incident normally. Further examination shows that in the situation illustrated by Fig. 3b or Fig. 3c, the thickness hfl1 or hso1 can be set to arbitrary portion of hfl or hso. When the thickness becomes small,
the hybrid matrix has the advantage that it is still well-conditioned as

Then one can even set the thickness to be zero, i.e. hfl1 = 0 or hso1 = 0. This will reduce Fig. 3b or Fig. 3c to the initial situation in Fig. 3a, which can now be analyzed easily by the generalized eigenproblem of hybrid matrix method [without having to modify (34)].

4. Omnidirectional reflection In this section, we apply the generalized eigenproblem of hybrid matrix method to analyze the omnidirectional reflection in onedimensional phononic crystals with n cells (nN layers) as shown in Fig. 1. Let the acoustic wave be incident from layer 0, and the reflection (r0,1) and transmission (t0,nN+1) coefficient matrices be defined as

sponding power reflection coefficients versus incident angles at fhF = 2000 m/s for n = 1, 2, 8 cells. From the figure one can see that the reflectance tends toward unity as the number of the cells increases thus achieving omnidirectional reflection. Next we investigate the effect of fluid layer on the phononic bandgap. The unit cell now comprises a water layer between the two solid layers of Fig. 5 (keeping the same cell thickness): hWater = 0.9hAl, hEpoxy = 0.1hAl. In Fig. 7 we plot both real and imaginary parts of kzFhF/2p as functions of fhF for a range of incident angles. For this structure, the phononic bandgaps occur around fhF (0.6 1.5) 103 m/s and fhF (1.9–2.9) 103 m/s. It is seen here that one may obtain higher frequency bandgap by introducing a fluid layer between two solid layers in unit cell [7].
ð39aÞ ð39bÞ ð39cÞ
In Fig. 5, we plot both real and imaginary parts of kzFhF/2p as functions of fhF for a range of incident angles (0°–90° step 5°). The unit cell comprises aluminium and epoxy with hAl = hEpoxy. The incident angles correspond to longitudinal waves in aluminium. We find that it is especially convenient to determine (if any) the frequency–thickness range of omnidirectional reflection using such scan plot of the imaginary parts of Floquet wavenumbers. Recall that if the imaginary parts of all kzF are not zero, the acoustic waves will decay rapidly along ^z direction. From the figure, one can clearly see that there is a phononic bandgap around fhF (1.8 2.2) 103 m/s and another narrower one at fhF 1.15 103 m/s. To verify this, we plot in Fig. 6 the corre-

Conclusion In this paper, a method based on the solution to a generalized eigenproblem of hybrid matrix has been presented for stable analysis of Floquet wave propagation in one-dimensional phononic crystals with solids and fluids. The method overcomes the numerical instability in the standard eigenproblem of transfer matrix. Thus, it enables Floquet waves to be determined reliably as has been demonstrated numerically. The recursion relations of hybrid matrix for periodic multilayered structure of various solid and/or fluid phases have been formulated. Dispersion relation and omnidirectional reflection for one-dimensional phononic crystals with solids and fluids have been discussed. The frequency–thickness range of phononic bandgap has been determined conveniently based on the Floquet wavenumbers.
