Hello everyone,

Please help me how to sweep irreducible part of the first Brillouin zone in unit cell of phononic crystal to get the band gap.

Thanks in advance

I defined kx = 0,ky =0, in parameters; i n periodic periodic boundary condition for 2D sq Lt I chose floquet BC and used kx and ky for kf (for x and y box respectively), ; right click on study to add parametric sweep, where I chose kx = o to pi/a, (a = lattice constant). from the derived values(result>derived values>global evaluation); we can get kx vs eigen freq, but I got transverse mode only, z- mode missing (for solid solid 2d sq lattice).

BTW did you figure it out how to get a proper band structure for a 2D phononic crystal?

Thank you

I uploaded a COMSOL file to the Model Exchange that shows how to set up a phononic band gap eigenfrequency analysis. Here is the link: www.comsol.com/community/exchange/432/.
