Abstract
A phononic crystal constituted by a one-dimensional piezoelectric material with a periodic distribution of electrodes submitted to space and time-dependent electrical boundary conditions is considered in this work. Interaction of an incident elastic pulse propagating with such phononic crystal is studied using a specific Finite Difference Time Domain model. Simulations are conducted in the case of periodic grounded electrodes “moving” at constant subsonic or supersonic speed. Various nonlinear phenomena resulting from this interaction are observed: Brillouin-like acoustic scattering, non-reciprocity of transmission at fundamental frequency, parametric amplification of the incident wave. The dispersion curve of the wave propagating in the phononic crystal with space-time modulated electrical boundary conditions is also deduced from simulation results.
