“…Besides the mentioned methods, other methods such as the Adomian decomposition (Hajhosseini and Ebrahimi, 2019), the transfer matrix (Guo et al, 2018), the lumped-mass (Wang et al, 2004), the plane wave expansion (Wang et al, 2019), the lattice dynamics (Chang et al, 2018), the multiple scattering (Psarobas et al, 2000), the wave finite element (Nobrega et al, 2016), and the finite-difference time-domain methods (Sun and Wu, 2007) were also used to study the vibration bandgap properties of different periodic structures. Each method has some advantages and some disadvantages.…”
