Main Results:

  • Uncoupled media show one forbidden band for selective Bragg diffraction.
  • Coupled media exhibit a second forbidden band involving longitudinal and transversal modes.
  • Acoustical rotation phenomena (pure, large, guided) are observed based on helical pitch to wavelength ratios.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides a detailed understanding of acoustic wave behavior in rotating anisotropic solids.
  • Findings highlight selective Bragg diffraction and diverse acoustical rotation effects.
  • Analogies with optical properties and considerations for lossy/quasiaxial propagation are discussed.
