Abstract

Periodic structures with extremely low porosities capable of forming large band gaps-frequency ranges with strong wave attenuation-are designed by patterning an elastic sheet with an array of alternating crack-like pores separated by small ligaments. The results indicate that the presence and size of the band gaps are controlled by the smallest geometric -feature in the system (which can be easily controlled by tuning the aspect ratio of the pores), providing an important guideline for the design of systems with the -desired response.
