Abstract

In this paper, a local resonant phononic crystal is designed and fabricated based on Helmholtz resonators. Experiment is carried out to study the defect mode of the structure, in which a point defect is introduced. Due to the coupling of the defect cell and perfect cells, a narrow pass band appears in the local resonant forbidden band. Meanwhile, acoustic energy localization effect is observed around the defect resonator at the frequency of defect mode which changes with the defect parameter. However, the defect mode is close to the edge of the forbidden band, the localized energy is high. In addition, if the resonant frequency of the defect unit is smaller than that of the perfect unit, the localized energy is mostly distributed in the waveguide. In contrast, the energy is mostly localized in the resonators when the defect unit frequency is larger than that of the perfect unit. This work will be of help for designing new acoustic functional devices of filters and concentrators.
