Band gap formation in acoustically resonant phononic crystals

The work presented in this thesis is concerned with the propagation of acoustic waves through phononic crystal systems and their ability to attenuate sound in the low frequency regime. The plane wave expansion method and finite element method are utilised to investigate the properties of conventiona...
