Abstract
Phononic crystals are well known for acoustic wave manipulation which may have potential application in an underwater acoustic detection system. In this work, we design and simulate a two-dimensional Luneburg lens based on gradient-index (GRIN) phononic crystal that is composed of PLA-Air inclusion, and a novel application of GRIN phononic crystals is proposed to sound localization. The Luneburg lens has a broadband working range, from 1500 Hz to 7500 Hz, for acoustic wave focusing with sensitive directivity and signal-to-noise improvement. By searching maximum wave intensity’s position of the focusing beam, the propagating direction of an unknown sound wave can be directly recognized covering 360°. Besides, we redesign the conventional square-lattice Luneburg lenses using annular lattices for better performance. The annular-lattice Luneburg lens overcomes the weakness of configuration defect due to the square lattice. The numerical results show that the redesign Luneburg lenses have high accuracy for distance measurement from 5 m to 35 m through the triangulation location. In a word, this work tries to explore a novel application of phononic crystals in underwater acoustic positioning and navigation technology.
期刊介绍:
Acta Acustica, the Journal of the European Acoustics Association (EAA).
After the publication of its Journal Acta Acustica from 1993 to 1995, the EAA published Acta Acustica united with Acustica from 1996 to 2019. From 2020, the EAA decided to publish a journal in full Open Access. See Article Processing charges.
Acta Acustica reports on original scientific research in acoustics and on engineering applications. The journal considers review papers, scientific papers, technical and applied papers, short communications, letters to the editor. From time to time, special issues and review articles are also published. For book reviews or doctoral thesis abstracts, please contact the Editor in Chief.
