(a) Phononic band structure and (b) density of states (DOS) calculated using full model (matrix size: 4050 × 4050) and reduced Bloch mode expansion model (matrix size: 24 × 24). The IBZ, eigenvector selection points, and a schematic of the 2D unit cell are shown as insets in (a). The stiff/dense material phase is shown in black, and the compliant/light material phase is shown in white. (c) Computational efficiency: ratio of RBME model to full model calculation times r versus number of sampled κ-points along the border of the IBZ nκ (for two 2D FE meshes and a two-point expansion scheme). The number of elements is denoted by nel (adapted from Ref. [309] with permission from the Royal Society).
