Anderson localization in periodic elastic systems with random perturbations
Abstract
This paper investigates Anderson localization in subwavelength elastic periodic systems with random perturbations. For the unperturbed system, we use layer potential techniques to reformulate the eigenvalue problem as boundary integral equations, and derive asymptotic formulas for the subwavelength eigenvalues. For perturbed systems, we apply the Floquet transform to obtain a periodic formulation and derive equations determining the resonant frequencies under general perturbations. Numerical experiments for perturbed periodic monomers and dimers agree with the theoretical predictions. We further demonstrate Anderson localization by increasing the strength and number of random perturbations. These results provide a mathematical foundation for understanding subwavelength localization in elastic metamaterials.
