The propagation of the elastic waves in one-dimensional (1D) solid–fluid quasi-periodic phononic crystals is studied by employing the concept of the localization factor, which is calculated by the transfer matrix method. The solid–fluid interaction effect at the interfaces between the solid and the fluid components is considered. For comparison, the periodic systems and aperiodic Thue–Morse sequence are also analyzed in this paper. The splitting phenomenon of the pass bands and bandgaps are discussed for these 1D solid–fluid systems. At last the influences of the material impedance ratios on the band structures of the 1D solid–fluid quasi-periodic phononic crystals arranged as Fibonacci sequence are discussed. & 2011 Elsevier B.V.

1. Introduction Analog to the traditional quasicrystals, the quasi-periodic photonic/phononic crystals (PNCs) are those which have no translational symmetry but have long-range order. Shechtman et al. [1] found the quasicrystals experimentally for the first time in 1984. And in the same year, Levine and Steinhardt [2] confirmed the existence of the quasicrystal by analytically computing the diffraction pattern of an ideal quasicrystal, which showed the five-fold symmetry. Lifshitz [3] discussed the symmetry of quasi-periodic crystals. Steurer and Haibach [4] studied the periodic average structures (PASs) of particular quasicrystals. A review on quasicrystals was presented by Steurer [5], in which various quasicrystal structures were discussed. More details about periodic and quasi-periodic structures can be found in the monograph written by Albuquerque and Cottam [6]. Since Kushwaha et al. [7] proposed the concept of phononic crystals, some researchers focused their interest to the one-dimensional (1D) quasi-periodic PNCs [8–15]. Luo [8] studied the propagation of the acoustic waves in 1D quasi-periodic PNCs made up of water and air layers using the transfer matrix method. Cao et al. [9] analyzed the bandgap characteristics of 1D quasi-periodic PNCs using the eigen-mode matching theory. Aynaou et al. [10]

investigated the propagation and localization of acoustic waves in the phononic bandgap structures made of slender tube loops pasted together with slender tubes of finite length according to a Fibonacci sequence. Sesion Jr. et al. [11] calculated the transmission spectrum of the 1D piezoelectric quasi-periodic PNCs. King and Cox [12] studied experimentally and theoretically the 1D periodically and quasi-periodically modulated waveguides. Chen et al. [13] discussed the engineering of the bandgaps using the combination of periodic and Fibonacci quasi-periodic 1D composite thin plates. The researches mentioned above mostly used the transmission spectrum to discuss the propagation properties of the 1D quasi-periodic PNCs. Introducing a well defined localization factor, the present authors have studied the localization phenomenon of the 1D solid–solid quasi-periodic PNCs arranged as a Fibonacci sequence and 2D PNCs with a Fibonacci sequence in one direction [14,15]. The models in most of these studies are composed of two materials, which are all solid states or fluid states. Boudouti et al. [16] reported a review on the layered structures alternated by solid and liquid layers. Quasi-periodic structures were also discussed in that paper. solid–fluid layered structures may exhibit different features from the solid–solid or fluid–fluid ones [16]. In the present paper the localization factor will be introduced to describe the propagation of the 1D solid–fluid quasi-periodic PNCs arranged as the Fibonacci sequence. The solid–fluid interaction will be considered to derive the transfer matrix. Both normal and oblique incidences are considered. For comparison,

sx ¼ l Consider a 1D solid–fluid quasi-periodic PNC arranged as the Fibonacci sequence, which can be obtained by repeating operations of the concurrent substitution rules: A-AB and B-A [18] as shown in Fig. 1, where A and B are sub-layerspmade up of different ffiffiffi materials with the length ratio a2 =a1 ¼ ð1 þ 5Þ=2. Besides, other three systems are also discussed: the periodic average structure of the above quasi-periodic PNC with AB as the unit cell, the periodic system with the fourth generation of the Fibonacci sequence (ABAAB) as the supercell, and Thue–Morse sequence, which is an aperiodic sequence obeying the concurrent substitution rules: A-AB and B-BA [19]. In this paper the localization factor [14] is introduced to describe the band structures for elastic waves propagating in an arbitrary direction in the above layered systems. The transfer matrix method is used to calculate the localization factor by considering the continuity relationships of the solid–fluid interaction at the interfaces. We introduce two displacement potentials, j and c, which are related to the displacements by [20]

and 10946 layers (i.e., the 11th, 14th, 17th and 20th generation of the Fibonacci sequence) are considered, respectively. It can be seen that the curves for these four systems are similar with each other. The values of the localization factor decrease with the number of layers increasing. The intervals with localization factors much bigger than zero are known as the stop bands or bandgaps. It is noted that almost all bandgaps are split into two parts. This is a distinguishing feature of the quasi-periodic systems. Numerical tests show that the values of the localization factor are almost unchanged for the Fibonacci sequences from the 20th generation up (i.e. nZ5473). Therefore it can be concluded that the 20th generation of the Fibonacci sequence is enough to show the most important properties of the 1D quasi-periodic PNCs. So in the following discussion we will take the calculation model as the 20th generation of the Fibonacci sequence (n¼5473) with Al and water without special statement. For the 20th generation of the Fibonacci sequence there are some frequency intervals in which the localization factors are almost zero. These intervals are the pass bands. Most pass bands shown in Fig. 2 are very narrow except the one in the interval of OL1A(3.0, 3.3). In order to further demonstrate the efficiency of the localization factor in characterizing the band structures for the 1D solid–fluid quasi-periodic PNCs, Fig. 3 shows the transmission spectrum for a

327

34-layered finite system calculated by the localization factors (Fig. 3a) and by the transfer matrix method directly (Fig. 3b), respectively. A good agreement is shown between pass/stop bands characterized by the localization factor and the transmission response. The only difference is that the values of the transmission coefficients in the pass bands calculated by the localization factor are bigger than those calculated by the transfer matrix method directly. This is understood by considering the fact that the localization factor describes the wave that propagates with the weakest attenuation. Therefore, the localization factor not only can characterize the band structures but also can give a rough estimation for wave transmission through a finite layered structure. Fig. 4 presents the localization factors versus the normalized frequency for waves propagating normally in the four systems addressed in Section 2: the Fibonacci sequence (Fig. 4b), its PAS (Fig. 4a), the periodic PNC with the supercell ABAAB (Fig. 4c) and the Thue–Morse sequence (Fig. 4d). Compared with its PAS, the Fibonacci sequence exhibits clearly splitting phenomenon in both pass bands and bandgaps. For periodic PNC with the supercell ABAAB splitting phenomenon is shown in the pass bands but not in most bandgaps. The pass bands and the bandgaps are all split into multiple narrower bands as shown in Fig. 4d for the aperiodic Thue–Morse sequence. It should be noticed that the bandgaps, (1.396, 1.781) and (4.564,

4.949), in the PAS (Fig. 4a) are split into two or more smaller bandgaps in the other three systems. Also the two pass bands, (2.958, 3.156) and (3.178, 3.354), in the PAS (Fig. 4a) are split into multiple smaller bands in the other three cases. It should be mentioned that the random disordered PNCs do not exhibit the band splitting phenomenon [24]. Compared with other three systems, the Thue–Morse sequence (Fig. 4d) is the best candidate for the band splitting function. The localization factors of the Thue–Morse sequence are the smallest, which means that the wave attenuation in such a sequence is the weakest. Fig. 5 shows the localization factors varying with the normalized frequency (OL1) and wave vector ky for waves propagating obliquely through the four systems stated above. Clear bandgaps and pass bands are shown in Fig. 5a and c for the periodic systems, but not in Fig. 5b and d for the quasi-periodic and aperiodic systems because of the wave localization [24,25]. Splitting phenomenon as shown in Fig. 4 can be observed in Fig 5b, c and d. This feature can be applied in the design of acoustic filters. Unlike the solid–solid systems [24], many pass bands and bandgaps in the solid–fluid systems vary only very slightly with ky, except for those in very low frequency regions or the near crossover points AH. Furthermore one may observe a dark oblique line passing through

the points E and (0, 0) (excluding the very low frequency region) in each figure, meaning a strong attenuation for the wave modes in this dark region. This does not appear in the band structures for the solid–solid PNCs [24] and quasi PNC [14]. At last we discuss the influences of the material combinations on the band structures of the Fibonacci sequence. We choose four material combinations: Al–Hg (Hydrargyrum), Al–Water, Au (Aurum)–Hg and Au–Water. The acoustic impedance ratios for these four cases are ZAl/ZHg ¼0.8729, ZAl/ZWater ¼11.56, ZAu/ZHg ¼ 3.320 and ZAu/ZWater ¼ 43.97. The localization factors versus the normalized frequency and ky are shown in Fig. 6 for these four systems. Al–Hg system with a small acoustic impedance ratio exhibits very broad pass bands with narrow bandgaps (Fig. 6a). With the increase of the impedance ratio, the bandgaps become wider. For Au–Water system (Fig. 6c) only a few narrow pass bands appear. A dark curved zone can be seen in each figure (especially Fig. 6a) for OL1 o2. The zones in all the cases are similar in shape. The localization factors in these zones are relatively big, implying that the wave propagation is forbidden therein. This feature is different from the solid–solid systems as discussed in Refs. [14,15]. It should be an intrinsic property for a solid–fluid system.

4. Conclusions

it 5 expðiqL1 z1 Þ

1. The localization factor is an efficient parameter to describe the elastic wave propagating in one dimensional solid–fluid quasiperiodic and aperiodic PNCs. 2. Compared with their PAS, the quasi-periodic PNCs exhibit clearly splitting phenomenon in both pass bands and bandgaps. Splitting phenomenon is shown in the pass bands but not in most bandgaps for periodic PNCs with the supercell ABAAB. For the aperiodic, Thue–Morse sequence, the pass bands and the bandgaps are all split into multiple narrower bands. The Thue–Morse sequence is the best candidate for the band splitting function. 3. The material combinations have influences on the band structures. With the increase of the acoustic impedance mismatch, the bandgaps become wider. 4. Unlike the solid–solid systems, many pass bands and bandgaps in the solid–fluid systems vary only very slightly with the y-component of the normalized wave vector, except for those in very low frequency regions or near crossover points. And there exists a zone in which the wave attenuation is very strong.

The propagation of the elastic waves in one-dimensional solid–fluid quasi-periodic PNCs arranged as the Fibonacci sequence is studied by employing the concept of the localization factor. For comparison, the periodical average structure of the quasi-periodic PNCs, the PNCs taking the fourth generation of the Fibonacci sequence as the supercell and the aperiodic Thue– Morse sequence, are also considered. The splitting of the pass bands and bandgaps are discussed for these four systems. At last the influences of the material combinations on the band structures of the 1D quasi-periodic PNCs arranged as the Fibonacci sequence are discussed. The present results show:
