Abstract
A method is introduced to optimize the acoustic band structures of two-dimensional phononic crystals (PCs). The acoustic band gap (ABG) between any two bands could be maximized by introducing an additional rod at a suitable position in a unit cell. The results also show that the symmetry reduction of the system is more efficient in creating the ABGs except for the first one. This additional rod method will be useful in designing the ABGs of PCs.
