Abstract

The scattering of flexural waves by two chains of mechanical resonators characterized by effective admittances is considered. In the first (lower) chain, the effective admittance is represented by a susceptance, whereas, in the second (upper) chain, the resonators are characterized by a complex admittance. The spatial periods of the chains are identical. A plane harmonic flexural wave is obliquely incident on the upper chain, and the scattered field formed by the chains is expressed as a superposition of homogeneous and inhomogeneous Bragg spectra. Intense scattering of the incident wave only occurs in the case of mutual compensation of the resonator susceptance and the radiation admittance. A pair of chains with periods not exceeding the half-wavelength of the flexural wave represents an effective insulator for this wave. In the half-space behind the first chain, the zeroth spectral component of the scattered field completely cancels the resonance-frequency incident flexural wave. Let the second chain be positioned at one of the displacement antinodes of the total field formed by the incident field and the zeroth scattered spectrum. Then, if the active components of the effective admittance of resonators belonging to the second chain are identical to the radiation admittance, the incident flexural wave is completely absorbed by the resonators.
