a b s t r a c t An analysis is given to the band structure of the two-dimensional phononic crystal plate constituted of a square array of elastic anisotropic, circular Pb cylinders embedded in elastic isotropic epoxy. The numerical results show that the band gap can be tuned by rotating the anisotropic material orientation. It is found that the influence of anisotropy on band gap of Lamb wave is clearly different from that on the band gap of bulk waves.

1. Introduction In the past two decades, phononic band gap materials, called phononic crystals, have inspired great interest of researchers for their rich physics and potential applications. The key motivation behind the proposal of phononic crystals is the possibility of modifying the propagation of acoustic or elastic waves by creating phononic band gaps in the band structure of the synthetic periodic structures. Since the phononic band gap is a major feature of a phononic crystal, the techniques for enlarging and tuning frequency band gap have become an important research topic in the field of physics. Several numerical methods, such as the plane-waveexpansion method (PWE) [1,2], the multi-scattering theory (MST) [3,4], and the finite-difference time-domain [5,6], have been developed and extensively used to analyze the frequency band structure. The earlier theoretical and experimental studies have demonstrated that the bandwidth of the forbidden band depended on the contrast between the physical characteristics (mass density and elastic moduli) of both materials and the filling fraction of inclusions [7,8]. In addition to the factors above, the band gap can be enlarged and tuned by decreasing the symmetry of the system [9,10]. Anisotropic materials have different physical properties in different directions relative to the crystal orientation of the materials. Some interesting phenomena have been observed and studied by introducing anisotropic materials into infinite or semi-infinite phononic crystal. Hou et al. [11] have studied the 2D anisotropic ⇑ Corresponding author. Tel./fax: +86 20 39322265. E-mail address: [email protected] (Y. Yao). 0041-624X/$ - see front matter Ó 2011 Elsevier B.V.

phononic crystal composed of parallel Pb (Lead) cylinders embedded in the uniform matrix (Poly-vinyl-chloride). They have found that the band gap structure varied with the rotating angle of these parallel cylinders. The band structure of the systems with higher filling fractions were more sensitive to the anisotropic material orientation than the lower filling fraction systems. Wilm et al. [12] used a plane-wave-expansion method to compute the band structure of an anisotropic infinite square array of parallel quartz rods embedded in an epoxy matrix and found that the band structure of out-of-plane was changed with the values of the wave-vector component parallel to the rods. Wu et al. [13] have investigated the property of the surface acoustic wave propagating in the system composed of elastic anisotropy materials. They have found that the mode exchanged suddenly around the sharp bend area where some of the crossing over of the dispersion curves was indeed sharp bends. More recently, theoretical and experimental studies of the band structure of Lamb waves in a finite system have been reported [14–19]. The numerical results have revealed that the band structure of Lamb wave in an two-dimensional finite phononic crystal was entirely different from that of the infinite phononic crystal with same geometry and composition [20]. The anisotropy materials have also been introduced into finite phononic crystal plate by the authors [19,20], but they have not presented relationship between anisotropic materials and band structure of phononic crystal plate. In this paper, band gap characteristic of the Lamb waves with different rotating angle of anisotropic inclusions is calculated and discussed by using the supercell plane-wave-expansion method. The different influence of anisotropy on the band gap of twodimensional phononic crystal plate, as is compared with those of infinite phononic crystal, is also analyzed.

The considered system with thickness h is shown in Fig. 1a. The anisotropic cylindrical fillers (Pb) are embedded in the host material (Epoxy) in square lattice array with lattice constant a. The phononic crystal coordinate system(global coordinate system) and the materials coordinate system (local coordinate system) are taken to be x, y, z and x0 , y0 , z0 , respectively. For simplicity, the z-axis and z0 axis are kept parallel with the direction of thickness. The elastic stiffness is presented by components cmnrelated to the global coordinate axes and by component c0 mn related to the material coordinate axes. From the theory of transformation, the stiffness transformation law is

The basic idea of the method is that two imaginary ‘‘vacuum’’ layers are added on the outer surfaces of the system to satisfy the stress-free boundary condition automatically. This is more effective to search roots of plate waves because it does not require the boundary conditions on the free surface explicitly. The supercell of the studied system is shown in Fig. 1b. based on the idea of the supercell plane-waveexpansion method. The displacement can be expressed as:

In this section, we use the supercell plane wave method to calculate the band structure of the phononic crystal plates illustrated in Fig. 1. In the system, the single crystal Pb belonging to the cubic crystal system with c011 ¼ 5:03  1010 dyn=cm2 ; c012 ¼ 3. 93  1010 dyn=cm2 ; c044 ¼ 1:40  1010 dyn=cm2 , and qpb = 11,340 kg/m3 is selected as the material of the cylinder. The isotropic material epoxy with c011 ¼ 0:758  1010 dyn=cm2 ; c012 ¼ 0. 442  1010 dyn=cm2 ; c044 ¼ 0:158  1010 dyn=cm2 and qepoxy = 1180 kg/m3 is chosen as the host material. To ensure the converge of the numerical calculation, 1125 plane waves(15  15  5) are used. Fig. 2 shows the band structures of the system with h = 0.8a, f = p(r/ a)2 = 0.55 for two different rotating angles h = 0 and h = 25. It can be seen that no absolute band gap occurs in Fig. 2a, but an absolute band gap exists in Fig. 2b for a rotating angle of 25°. The difference between the two band structures demonstrates that the band gap of Lamb waves can be tuned by rotating anisotropic materials. The complete evolution of the normalized gap width Dx/xg of the lowest absolute band gap with the h values is shown in Fig. 3, where xg is the mid-gap value. In the figure, only the numerical results with h 6 45° are reported for the symmetric property. We presents the complete evolution for the case of two-dimensional bulk wave phononic crystal in panel (a) of Fig. 3. As one can see, the normalized gap width, which is zero when h < 10°, begins to increase progressively with the increase of rotating angle when h = 10°. It reaches the maximum value at h = 25° and decreases gradually when h > 25°. The normalized gap width shows a nonlinear dependence on the angle of the anisotropic material orienta-

tion. Panel (b) of Fig. 3 gives the complete evolution for the twodimensional phononic crystal plate with h = 0.8a, f = 0.55. As can be easily found that the curve in panel (b) is not same as that in panel (a). For example, the rotating angles is 0° instead of 10° when the normalized gap width begins to increase. It is 35° instead of 25° when the normalized gap width reaches maximum value. A comparison of panel (a) with panel(b) shows that the effects of anisotropic materials on the band gap of Lamb waves is different from that on bulk waves. The difference is due to the fact that the mechanism for opening band gap in a phononic crystal plate is different from that in a bulk wave phononic crystal. It is well known that elastic waves in a finite structure can be scattered not only by periodically arranged scatterers but also by the surface of the plate. Panel (c) of Fig. 3 indicates the dependence of the normalized gap width of the lowest absolute band gap on a rotating angle when d is decreased by 0.2  1010 dyn/cm2. Eq. (2) in Section 2 shows that there are many ways to obtain the same decreased value of d because c011 ; c012 and c044 are independent parameters in a cubic crystal system. In the numerical simulation, among the three independent parameters, the value of one parameter is changed and that of the other two is kept the same as that in the panel (b). The three changed parameters are chosen as : c011 ¼ 4:83 1010 dyn=cm2 ; c012 ¼ 4. 13  1010 dyn=cm2 and c044 ¼ 1:5  1010 dyn=cm2 . Thus, the anisotropic factors is 3.11 for the system with c011 changed and the system with c012 changed, but it is 2.73 for the sytem with c044 changed. In the panel, the c011 curve and c012 curve are almost the same, but the c044 curve shows an entirely different behavior. A comparing of panel (c) with panel (b) shows that the behavior of complete evolution in panel (b) is different from that in panel (c). These

Rotation angle θ Fig. 4. The complete evolution of normalized gap width with anisotropic material orientation for four different thicknesses h = 0.5a, h = 0.6a, h = 0.7a, and h = 0.8a. The filling fraction of the phononic crystal plate is f = 0.55.

behaviors lead us to draw a conclusion that the band structure of two-dimensional phononic crystal plate will be changed by changing the value of d. If d is kept constant, the system with different anisotropy factor has different complete evolution. The complete evolution of normalized gap as a function of rotating angle for different plate thicknesses is shown in Fig. 4. In the calculation, the plate thicknesses are h = 0.5a, h = 0.6a, h = 0.7a and h = 0.8a, respectively. Seen from the figure, the most striking feature of this graph is that these complete evolutions are not iden-

tical. For example, the maximum value of the normalized gap width is 0.069 for h = 0.5a, and it is 0.179 for h = 0.8a. Further more, the different systems reach their maximum value of normalized gap width at different angle values. The h is 25° for h = 0.6a and h = 0.7a while it is 35° for h = 0.8a. Besides the difference mentioned above, it is also found that the normalized band gap for h = 0.5a is closed when h = 30°, but it is still open in the other three systems. Based on these comparison above, it is clear that the anisotropic materials exert different influences on the band structure when the thickness of a phononic crystal plate is varied. 4. Brief summary In conclusion, by using supercell plane-wave-expansion method, we have made a theoretically study of the effects of anisotropic property of inclusions on the band structure of Lamb wave in a finite phononic crystal. It is found that the phononic band gap can be enlarged and reduced by the rotation of the anisotropic inclusions. The influence of anisotropic materials on band gap is quite different in the case of a slab as compared to the case of a two-dimensional infinite structure. If the plate thickness or the value of d is changed, the system will show different complete evolution of normalized gap with the anisotropic material orientation.
