Finite element analysis on tunable solid/fluid phononic crystal for surface acoustic wave bandgaps with various fluid heights

In ADRENASMART this study, the propagations of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) in two-dimensional solid/fluid phononic crystal (PC) structures were investigated.The PC structures are composed of a periodic sequence of hollow pillars deposited on a semi-infinite substrate, which can be filled with various kinds/heights of fluid.Finite element analysis
