Abstract

A theoretical study is presented on the propagation properties of Lamb wave modes in thin plates consisting of a row of parallel square cylinders placed periodically in the host material. The surfaces of the plates are parallel to the axis of periodicity. The dispersion curves of the Lamb wave modes are calculated based on the supercell method. Finite element method is employed to calculate the transmitted power spectrum, which is in good agreement with the results obtained by the supercell method. The influence of the filling fraction on the band gaps of the Lamb wave modes is analyzed by numerical simulations.
