Abstract
This study presents a novel investigation of thermal wave propagation in layered
phononic crystals (PCs) composed of functionally graded materials (FGMs),
revealing unprecedented thermal band gap tuning mechanisms through the
Cattaneo–Vernotte and dual-phase-lag heat conduction models. Unlike conventional
homogeneous PCs, the FGM-based structure introduces unique gradient-dependent
band gap modulation, analyzed via the transfer matrix method and Bloch theorem.
The complex dispersion curves of thermal waves are obtained. The first
band gap intervals increase with the increase of the gradient change index
, and the
intervals of the first band gap shrink and then become broader a little bit with the increase of
parameter
.
Besides, the first band gap intervals decrease with the increase of
.
The intervals of the first band gap increase with the increase of
. The
can
affect the first band gap width and the number of the band gap.
