Phononic Crystal
Application ID: 115771
This model shows how to use the scattered field formulation to compute the transmission coefficient for impinging P and S plane elastic waves onto a finite size phononic crystal.
The transmission tends to zero in the frequency range corresponding to P- and S-wave band gaps, as predicted by a preliminary study aimed at computing the dispersion relation.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
- COMSOL Multiphysics® and
- either the Acoustics Module, MEMS Module, or Structural Mechanics Module
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Tabella delle Funzionalità and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
