Phononic crystals are artificial periodic structures that can alter
efficiently the flow of sound, acoustic waves, or elastic waves.
They were introduced about twenty years ago and have gained
increasing interest since then, both because of their amazing
physical properties and because of their potential applications.
The topic of phononic crystals stands as the cross-road of physics
(condensed matter physics, wave propagation in inhomogeneous and
periodic media) and engineering (acoustics, ultrasonics, mechanical
engineering, electrical engineering). Phononic crystals cover a
wide range of scales, from meter-size periodic structures for sound
in air to nanometer-size structures for information processing or
thermal phonon control in integrated circuits. Phononic crystals
have a definite relation with the topic of photonic crystals in
optics. The marriage of phononic and photonic crystals also
provides a promising structural basis for enhanced sound and light
interaction. As the topic is getting popular, it is nowadays
presented and discussed at various international conferences. After
the first ten years during which the topic has remained mainly
theoretical with a few proof-of-concept demonstrations in the
literature, the evolution has been towards applications,
instrumentation, and novel designs. The physical explanations for
various effects are now well understood and efficient numerical
methods and analysis tools have been developed. The book contains a
comprehensive set of finite element model (FEM) scripts for solving
basic phononic crystal problems. The scripts are short, easy to
read, and efficient, allowing the reader to generate for
him(her)self band structures for 2D and 3D phononic crystals, to
compute Bloch waves, waveguide and cavity modes, and more.
