Abstract

We consider in-plane elastic waves propagating through a doubly periodic array of cylinders of Tantalum (with both circular and elliptical cross-sections) which are embedded in a matrix of fused silica. We find some sonic gap for fairly small filling fractions of the cylinders which eventually vanish in the limit of high-filling fraction. In the case of a doubly periodic array of elliptical cylinders, removal of a cylinder within a macro-cell leads to two localised eigenstates.
