Abstract

The effect of spatial harmonics of a square-wave surface grating on the multiband frequency response of ultrasonic SH waves in an elastic plate is investigated. Stopbands are found to occur under simultaneous occurrence of first-order and higher-order Bragg resonances together with co-directional and/or contra-directional mode coupling conditions. The odd harmonic nature of the structure causes stopbands to appear above the cutoff frequencies of the odd-numbered modes. The attenuation within stopbands is found to be greatest when all propagating modes are coupled and reflected. The simultaneous resonance conditions for higher order stopbands must contain at least one co-directional mode coupling condition. The analysis is performed according to the multiple scales scheme, leading to the derivation of coupled mode equations, which are solved numerically using the fundamental matrix method.
