Effective Phononic Crystals for Non-Cartesian Elastic Wave Propagation
arXiv:2008.02886 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.102.134308
Abstract
We introduce the concept of effective phononic crystals, which combine periodicity with varying isotropic material properties to force periodic coefficients in the elastic equations of motion in a non-Cartesian basis. Periodic coefficients allow for band structure calculation using Bloch theorem. Using the band structure, we demonstrate band gaps and topologically protected interface modes can be obtained in cylindrically propagating waves. Through effective phononic crystals, we show how behaviors of Cartesian phononic crystals can be realized in regions close to sources, where near field effects are non-negligible.
