The multilayer structure was made of PLA and air, while the defect layer was PNM-0.38PT with a significantly higher value of acoustic impedance in relation to the materials of the base structure. The influence of the position of the defect in the structure and its thickness was analysed. Transmission as a function of frequency was determined using the Transfer Matrix Method algorithm. The work showed the presence of band gaps in the analyzed structures. The influence of the symmetry of structures and substructures on the transmission of a mechanical wave was investigated. The influence of the number of layers with very low acoustic impedance (air) on the number of high transmission peaks with a small half-width was also demonstrated.}, type={Article}, title={Influence of PNM-0.38PT Defect on Transmission of Multilayer Periodic Phononic Structure}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/130954/PDF-MASTER/AMM-2024-1-51-Garus.pdf}, keywords={Phononic structures, band gap, defect, transfer matrix}, }
