There are growing efforts in constructing topological edge states in classical wave system. However, most of the work study the existence, creation and properties of the edge states, and the demonstration of application is highly desirable. Here, we present our design of a two-dimensional anisotropic phononic crystal that exhibits tunable topological phases. We further explore the contribution of anisotropy and show that the bandgap topology is also related to particular directions and frequency. Such frequency dependent behavior can be utilized as a frequency filter.
