Abstract

Computation model is presented for mass spring systems of one and two dimensional phononic band gap crystals and micro-electro-mechanical systems. The computation model is veri ed with existing work, and phononic band gap microelectro- mechanical systems are analyzed. Phononic band gap in the scienti c and industrial community is discussed. The motivation and the recent popular methods are discussed. The computation models are highlighted with their pros and cons and adequate computational applications. The one dimensional mass spring model is developed and the simulator operation is validated through comparison with the published simulation data in the original paper by J.S. Jensen et al.. Additionally, the one dimensional mass spring simulator is validated for a micro-electro-mechanical system band structure. The two dimensional mass spring model is developed, as well, the simulator operation is validated through comparison with the published simulation data in the original paper by J.S. Jensen et al.. The two-dimensional simulator is utilized to analyze solid square-shaped, hollow square-shaped, solid diamond-shaped, and hollow diamond-shaped inclusion micro-electro-mechanical band gap structures. The solid inclusion-based micro-electro-mechanical band gap results are compared with hollow inclusion-based micro-electro-mechanical structures.
