The book provides a comprehensive presentation of the topic of phononic and sonic
crystals, including acoustic and elastic wave propagation in homogeneous and periodic …

In this paper, the bandgap properties of a two-dimensional phononic crystal with the two
resonators is studied and embedded in a homogenous matrix. The resonators are not …

The bandgap properties of an open or covered phononic crystal slab with resonators are
studied by using the finite element method. The results show that complete bandgap comes …

The topological transport of Lamb wave in phononic crystal slabs provides a great potential
in reinforcing nondestructive testing, high sensitivity sensing, and information processing. In …

A periodic vibration suppressor with multiple secondary oscillators is examined in this paper
to reduce the low-frequency vibration. The band-gap properties of infinite periodic structure …

Subject to voltage, dielectric elastomers deform and stiffen. We show that harmonic
excitations at certain frequencies cannot propagate in incompressible dielectric elastomer …

The influence of viscosity on band gaps of 2D phononic crystal is studied in this paper. The
standard solid model is used to simulate the viscoelastic behavior of the host material …

The quest for large and low-frequency band gaps is one of the principal objectives pursued
in a number of engineering applications, ranging from noise absorption to vibration control …

The control of band structures of 2D phononic crystals (PCs) composed of piezoelectric
inclusions and elastic isotropic matrix with mechanical/electrical biasing fields is …

The confinement of elastic waves within a single defect in a phononic crystal slab is
investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The structure is formed by a honeycomb …
