Abstract

In this paper, a Fourier transform based periodic approach is developed for wave-propagation analysis in a generic multi-coupled one-dimensional periodic structure. Dispersion relations in 1-D metallic waveguides with periodic defects are investigated. Defects considered here are horizontal cracks and staggered cracks, respectively. The formulation is based on the Bloch's theorem and uses the dynamic stiffness matrix of the sub-element obtained from spectral super element theory. Numerical investigations are carried out to study the dispersion characteristics and the evolution of band gaps in these structures.
