Abstract
The paper studies the band structures of a two-component Fibonacci phononic quasicrystal which is considered as a phononic crystal disordered in a special way. Oblique propagation in an arbitrary direction of the in-plane elastic waves with coupling of longitudinal and transverse modes is considered. The transfer matrix method is used and the well-defined localization factors which are used to study the ordered and disordered phononic crystals are introduced to describe the band gaps of the phononic quasicrystals. The transmission coefficients are also calculated and the results show the same behaviours as the localization factor does. The results show the merits of using the localization factors. The band gaps of the phononic quasicrystal and crystals with translational and/or mirror symmetries are presented and compared to the perfect phononic crystals. More band structures are exhibited when symmetries are introduced to the phononic quasicrystals.
