Abstract
In this work we present the study of the nondiffractive propagation regime of ultrasonic waves in a two-dimensional periodic acoustic media (sonic crystal) both from the theoretical and the experimental point of view. An analytical treatment of this regime sonic wave propagation is presented, which allows evaluating the parameters of the nondiffractive regime, just as the minimum size of the nondiffractively propagating acoustic beam. Experimentally, we report on the first experimental demonstration of the subdiffractive propagation (self-collimation) of an ultrasound beam in a sonic crystal formed by steel cylinders in water. The experimental measurements show a good agreement with the theoretical predictions, where the effect of the finite size of the crystal was also considered. The preliminary results on self-collimation of sound in three-dimensional sonic crystal, in progress at the present moment, will be also presented.
