Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate influence of changing the fill factor (or rod diameter) on acoustic properties of phononic crystal made of mercury rods inside of water matrix. Change in construction of primary cell without changing the shape of rod may cause shifts in bands leading to widening of forbidden band gaps, which is the basis of modern composite material designing process. Design/methodology/approach: Band structure is determined by using the finite element study known as finite difference frequency domain simulation method. This is achieved by virtual construction and simulation of primary cell of phononic crystal. Phononic crystals are special devices which by periodic arrangement of properties related to the sound can affect the transmission of acoustic waves thru their body. Findings: The fill factor/rod diameter has a significant influence on the acoustic band structure of studied phononic crystal which can be divided in two mainly effects: fission and compression of band structure. Research limitations/implications: In order to better understand basic properties of phononic crystals and to get full control over the band gaps a series of similar calculations should be done for broader range of frequencies covering both infrasound and ultrasound wavelength regions. Also structures of other cut shape of rod and different primary cell structure resulting in diverse phononic crystal structure should be investigated in the future. Practical implications: Phononic crystals are important devices in variety of applications ranging from noise control through acoustic computing, health applications and entertainment up to military applications. Therefore full knowledge about specific working conditions and elementary properties is necessary for complete control in targeted applications. Controlling the fill factor is one of the simplest methods to achieve specific band gap positions and widths. Originality/value: The novelty is in use of different phase materials with similar acoustic characteristics affecting the hole sonic properties of device manifested by their calculated band structure. The target group are scientists interested in practical applications of various acoustic materials.
