Some properties of the transverse elastic waves in quasiperiodic structures

摘要

We have studied the integrated density of states and fractal dimension of the transverse elastic waves spectrum in quasiperiodic systems following the Fibonacci, Thue-Morse and Rudin-Shapiro sequences. Due to the finiteness of the quasiperiodic. generations, in spite of the high number of materials included, we have studied the possible influence of the boundary conditions, infinite periodic or finite systems, together with that of the different ways to generate the constituent blocks of the quasiperiodic systems, on the transverse elastic waves spectra. No relevant differences have been found for the different boundary conditions, but the different ways of generating the building blocks produce appreciable consequences in the properties of the transverse elastic waves spectra of the quasiperiodic systems studied here.
