Abstract

Transmission of acoustic waves in two-dimensional composite media composed of arrays of Duralumin cylindrical inclusions embedded in a poly vinyl chloride (PVC) matrix is studied. Experimental and theoretical results for the transmission spectrum of a periodic array of cylinders organized on a square lattice are reported. Local gaps in the first two-dimensional Brillouin zone are predicted and observed. The experimental measurements of power spectra for a random array of inclusions show a weak correlation between disorder and acoustic absorptions up to a high degree of disorder. Only in the case of highly random arrangements does the transmission spectrum diverge from the one obtained with a periodic array of inclusions.
