Evanescent waves and deaf bands in sonic crystals

The properties of sonic crystals (SC) are theoretically investigated in this work by solving the inverse problem k(¿) using the extended plane wave expansion (EPWE). The solution of the resulting eigenvalue problem gives the complex band structure which takes into account both the propagating and th...

Sumario:The properties of sonic crystals (SC) are theoretically investigated in this work by solving the inverse problem k(¿) using the extended plane wave expansion (EPWE). The solution of the resulting eigenvalue problem gives the complex band structure which takes into account both the propagating and the evanescent modes. In this work we show the complete mathematical formulation of the EPWE for SC and the supercell approximation for its use in both a complete SC and a SC with defects. As an example we show a novel interpretation of the deaf bands in a complete SC in good agreement with multiple scattering simulations. © 2011 Copyright 2011 Author(s).
