We investigate the scattering of scalar plane waves in two dimensions by a heterogeneous layer that is periodic in the direction parallel to its boundary. On describing the layer as a union of periodic laminae, we develop a solution of the…
Bloch wavefunctions are used to derive dispersion relations for water wave propagation in the presence of an infinite array of periodically arranged surface scatterers. For one dimensional periodicity (stripes), band gaps for wavevectors in…
Band formation in periodic media is a central topic in undergraduate solid-state physics, typically introduced through Bloch's theorem as an eigenvalue problem in reciprocal space for infinitely periodic systems. While mathematically…
We develop an effective computational tool for simulating the scattering of 1D waves by a composite layer architected in an otherwise homogeneous medium. The layer is designed as the union of segments cut from various mother periodic media,…
We consider homogenization of the scalar wave equation in periodic media at finite wavenumbers and frequencies, with the focus on continua characterized by: (a) arbitrary Bravais lattice in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\!\geqslant\!2$, and (b)…
Quasiperiodic media is a class of almost periodic media which is generated from periodic media through a "cut and project" procedure. Bloch waves are typically defined through a direct integral decomposition of periodic operators. A…
We investigate second order linear wave equations in periodic media, aiming at the derivation of effective equations in $\R^n$, $n \in \{1, 2, 3\}$. Standard homogenization theory provides, for the limit of a small periodicity length…
The paper provides a rigorous analysis of the dispersion spectrum of SH (shear horizontal) elastic waves in periodically stratified solids. The problem consists of an ordinary differential wave equation with periodic coefficients, which…
Solitary waves bifurcated from edges of Bloch bands in two-dimensional periodic media are determined both analytically and numerically in the context of a two-dimensional nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with a periodic potential. Using…
This study analyzes steady periodic hydroelastic waves propagating on the water surface of finite depth beneath nonlinear elastic membranes. Unlike previous work \cite{BaldiT,BaldiT1,Toland,Toland1}, our formulation accommodates rotational…
Periodic surface structures are nowadays standard building blocks of optical devices. If such structures are illuminated by aperiodic time-harmonic incident waves as, e.g., Gaussian beams, the resulting surface scattering problem must be…
Solitary waves in one-dimensional periodic media are discussed employing the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with a spatially periodic potential as a model. This equation admits two families of gap solitons that bifurcate from the edges of…
This paper is concerned with the asymptotic description of high-frequency waves in locally periodic media. A key issue is that the Bloch-dispersion curves vary with the local microstructure, giving rise to hidden singularities associated…
We consider the spectrum of a second-order elliptic operator in divergence form with periodic coefficients, which is known to be completely described by Bloch eigenvalues. We show that under small perturbations of the coefficients, a…
This is a study of the Euler equations for free surface water waves in the case of varying bathymetry, considering the problem in the shallow water scaling regime. In the case of rapidly varying periodic bottom boundaries this is a problem…
The focus of our work is dispersive, second-order effective model describing the low-frequency wave motion in heterogeneous (e.g.~functionally-graded) media endowed with periodic microstructure. For this class of quasi-periodic medium…
Bloch wave homogenization is a spectral method for obtaining effective coefficients for periodically heterogeneous media. This method hinges on the direct integral decomposition of periodic operators, which is not available in a suitable…
We study interfacial instabilities between two spatially periodically sheared ideal fluids. Bloch wavefunction decompositions of the surface deformation and fluid velocities result in a nonhermitian secular matrix with an associated band…
In this study, we establish an inclusive paradigm for the homogenization of scalar wave motion in periodic media (with or without the source term) at finite frequencies and wavelengths spanning the first Brioullin zone. We take the…
The asymptotic behavior of a one-dimensional spectral problem with periodic coefficient is addressed for high frequency modes by a method of Bloch wave homogenization. The analysis leads to a spectral problem including both microscopic and…
