There is a growing interest in recent years for the propagation of acoustic (AC) and elastic (EL) waves in random and periodic composite materials [1–15]. The interest among solid state physicists is mainly connected to the question of existence or not of spectral gaps in periodic systems or localized states in disordered systems in analogy with what happens to the electron wave propagation.
