In this paper, we analyze the two-dimensional Boat-shaped structure based on the finite element method. We calculated its energy band structure and vibration transmission properties and found that the structure has band gaps at both high and low frequencies. Compared with common traditional two- dimensional phononic crystals, the boat-shaped phononic crystal has the advantage of larger bandgap design and modulation parameter space due to their structural complexity. In order to obtain better bandgap characteristics, we studied the influence of four key parameters, such as the rod length and the angle between the rods, on the bandgap. The results show that: for low frequency band gaps, the width of the band gap can be effectively changed by changing the size of the angle between the rods while rod length greatly affects the bandgap position; for high band gaps, the length of rods has a large effect on the band gap position. These laws have guiding significance for the bandgap regulation of boat-shaped phononic crystal.
