Influence of lattice symmetry on ultrasound transmission through plates with subwavelength aperture arrays

摘要

We study the transmission of sound waves through aluminum plates perforated with square and triangular hole arrays. We demonstrate both theoretically and experimentally that lattice symmetry affects the position of the Wood anomalies and the width of the transmission peaks. The angle and frequency dependence of sound transmission through perforated plates are thoroughly discussed. Finally, we observe unexpected anisotropic behavior in the long-wavelength Lamb-mode bands of perforated plates.
