Abstract

SUMMARYThe lens effect of acoustic waves in a two‐dimensional (2D) phononic crystal is studied by numerical simulation based on the finite‐difference time‐domain (FDTD) method. We calculate the phonon band structure of 2D phononic crystals, consisting of metal/ceramic cylinders placed periodically in water. The lens effect is observed for the far‐field wave in phononic crystals with two‐layered and graded‐index structure. We compare the focal intensity and the energy transmission efficiency in these numerical experiments, and show that a novel energy‐transmission device can be designed using phononic crystals. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
