The effect of stiffness and mass on coupled oscillations in a phononic crystal

Insight into phononic bandgap formation is presented using a first principles-type approach where phononic lattices are treated as coupled oscillators connected via massless tethers. The stiffness of the tethers and the mass of the oscillator are varied and their influences on the bandgap formation...
