Abstract: A numerical method, the so-called multiple monopole (MMoP) method, based on the generalized multipole technique (GMT) is proposed to calculate the band structures of in-plane waves in two-dimensional phononic crystals, which are composed of arbitrarily shaped cylinders embedded in a solid host medium. To find the eigenvalues (eigenfrequencies) of the problem, besides the sources used to expand the wave fields, an extra monopole source is introduced which acts as the external excitation. By varying the excitation frequency, the eigenvalues can be localized as the extreme points of an appropriately chosen function. By sweeping the frequency range of interest and the boundary of the irreducible first Brillouin zone (FBZ), the band structures can be obtained. Some typical numerical examples with different acoustic impedance ratios and with inclusions of various shapes are presented to validate the proposed method.

Key words: phononic crystal, generalized multipole technique (GMT), eigenvalue problem, multiple monopole (MMoP) method, fluid-solid interaction condition, band structure
