| Popis: | We analyse the propagation of airborne pressure waves through a three-dimensional array of rigid coated spheres (shells) in air. When we dig a channel terminated by an air cavity in each rigid shell we observe the appearance of a low frequency stop band. Each shell with a hole acts as a Helmholtz resonator supporting a low frequency localized mode. Isofrequency surfaces and contours reveal the strong anisotropy of the periodic structure at the edge of the stop band. A simple mechanical model of springs and masses allows for asymptotic estimates of the low frequency stop band for elongated channels. Increasing the radius of an air channel shifts up the position, and enlarges, the low frequency stop band. Adding holes in shells also shifts up the frequency of the stop band, and embedded shells lead to additional stop bands. Localization effect induced by a large defect in a periodic macrocell of Helmholtz resonators is finally investigated. |
