Abstract
The authors study the propagation of Lamb waves in two-dimensional locally resonant phononic-crystal plates, composed of periodic soft rubber fillers in epoxy host with a finite thickness. Our calculations are based on the efficient plane wave expansion formulation which utilized Mindlin’s plate theory. Calculated results show that the low-frequency gaps of Lamb waves are opened up by the localized resonance mechanism. The resonant frequencies of flexure-dominated plate modes are significantly dependent not only on the radius of circular rubber fillers but also on the plate thickness. The properties of localized resonance are qualitatively analogous to the vibration of a circular thin plate.
