Abstract
Transmission of acoustic waves in two-dimensional binary solid/solid composite media composed of arrays of Duralumin cylindrical inclusions embedded in an epoxy resin matrix is studied. The experimental transmission spectrum and theoretical band structure of two periodic arrays of cylinders organized on a square lattice and on a centred rectangular network are reported. Absolute gaps extending throughout the first two-dimensional Brillouin zone are predicted. The measured transmission is observed to drop to noise level throughout frequency intervals in reasonable agreement with the calculated forbidden frequency bands.Keywords
