Abstract
A non-Bragg nature forbidden band is experimentally observed in an axially symmetric hard-walled duct with a periodically varying cross section. Unlike the familiar Bragg ones, the observed bandgap is found to result from the interference of sound wave modes having different transverse standing-wave profiles, the so-called non-Bragg resonance. The experiments also show that the non-Bragg band can be comparably wider than the Bragg one; furthermore, the sound transmission loss within the band can be much more effective, exhibiting the great significance of the non-Bragg resonance in wave propagation in periodic waveguides.
