Abstract

The transmission of elastic waves across structures made of coated cylinders present resonance features having a very asymmetric profile. The physical origin of these resonances was studied by simple 1D mechanical model with analytical solution. It was concluded that the existence of localized modes associated to the cylindrical units are at the origin of the interference phenomenon which results in the asymmetric profiles (Fano profiles) observed in transmission spectra. Furthermore, their behavior were characterized as a function of the cylinders' mass density.
