PnCs that additionally leverage precisely embedded defects can achieve robust energy localization with desirable spatio-temporal characteristics, opening avenues for critical engineering applications, e.g., energy harvesting, waveguiding, and fluid flow control. Numerous studies have qualitatively explored the localized dynamics via simulations and experiments, investigating the defect resonance frequency as the primary feature. However, the frequency represents only a subset of the relevant characteristics and a systematic approach to quantify the full scope of the defect dynamics remains elusive. This article establishes the frequency, mode shape, and localized velocity (or displacement) amplitude envelope as three significant factors governing the defect resonance dynamics, and quantitatively examines these characteristics using a modified version of the perturbed tridiagonal n-Toeplitz method. The proposed method accurately estimates the resonance characteristics in 1D and 2D defect-embedded monoatomic PnC lattices with single and multiple defects and elucidates the effects of damping. The method is used to highlight how the key characteristics of defect modes depend on system parameters. Finally, we demonstrate the benefits of defect modes through two defect-based monoatomic PnCs that can accommodate – (i) a virtual ground, and (ii) achieve customized acoustic interaction and absorption, and use the proposed method to analyze these scenarios. The proposed strategy can be readily extended to more elaborate PnCs and augments the design space for defect-based PnCs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17233,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sound and Vibration","volume":"614 ","pages":"Article 119164"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143941601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the subwavelength resonators effectively absorb sound in the low frequency range, the sizes needed to achieve low frequency performance frequently prohibit practical use. In this work we demonstrate how compact sound absorbing panels can be designed by exploiting the slow sound propagation achieved in flexible rubber tubes. An axisymmetric FEM formulation is developed and an optimization of the Biot parameters is carried out.

Unlike uniaxial micromirrors, cross-axis two-dimensional (2D) micromirrors exhibit the substantially different bending-torsion coupled dynamic behaviors due to mutually perpendicular beams. Therefore, it is interesting yet challenging to reveal the coupling effect on the cross-axis bending-torsion coupled dynamic behaviors of 2D micromirrors. Here, a temperature-dependent cross-axis bending-torsion coupled dynamic model is developed to elucidate the thermal-induced frequency drift of 2D micromirrors. The proposed model explains the intricate multimodal coupling relationships of cross-axis 2D micromirrors, indicating that the thermal-induced frequency drift of fast-scanning mode is influenced not only by the torsional stiffness of fast-axis beam, but also by the bending stiffness of slow-axis beam. Consequently, by introducing the temperature-dependent cross-axis bending-torsion coupled stiffness matrix, the prediction error of thermal-induced frequency drift is reduced by 88.7 %. Furthermore, a package optimization method for low thermal-induced frequency drift is presented based on the proposed model. As a result, the temperature coefficient of frequency (TCF) is decreased by 62.4 % at the temperature difference of 120 K, which significantly improves the frequency stability of cross-axis 2D micromirrors.

In the analytical investigation, the normal mode expansion method is adopted to analyze the guided wave reflection at the boundaries of a flat bottom hole, on which basis the generation of local anti-resonance is interpreted from the perspective of destructive interference of trapped waves in the hole.

Numerical simulations and experimental investigations are performed for the proof-of-concept.
