Abstract

We investigate the effects of geometric and material nonlinearities introduced by deformation on the linear dynamic response of two-dimensional phononic crystals. Our analysis not only shows that deformation can be effectively used to tune the band gaps and the directionality of the propagating waves, but also reveals how geometric and material nonlinearities contribute to the tunable response of phononic crystals. Our numerical study provides a better understanding of the tunable response of phononic crystals and opens avenues for the design of systems with optimized properties and enhanced tunability.
