Gap Characteristics

A new two-dimensional locally resonant phononic crystal with microcavity structure is proposed. The acoustic wave band gap characteristics of this new structure are studied using finite element method. At the same time, the corresponding displacement eigenmodes of the band edges of the lowest band gap and the transmission spectrum are calculated. The results proved that phononic crystals with microcavity structure exhibited complete band gaps in low-frequency range. The eigenfrequency of the lower edge of the first gap is lower than no microcavity structure. However, for no microcavity structure type of quadrilateral phononic crystal plate, the second band gap disappeared and the frequency range of the first band gap is relatively narrow. The main reason for appearing low-frequency band gaps is that the proposed phononic crystal introduced the local resonant microcavity structure. This study provides a good support for engineering application such as low-frequency vibration attenuation and noise control.

In this paper, we theoretically investigate the propagation characteristics of Lamb wave in a two-dimensional (2D) asymmetric phononic crystal (PC) plate composed of cylinder stubs of different radius deposited on both sides of a thin homogeneous plate. The dispersion relations, transmission spectra and displacement fields of the eigenmodes are calculated by using the finite element method (FEM). Two complete bandgaps (BGs) can be found in low-frequency range and the transmission spectra coincide with the band structures. We investigate the evolution of dispersion relations with the decrease of the upper stub radius. The physical mechanism of the upper stub radius effect is also studied with the displacement fields of the unit cell. Numerical results show that the symmetry of the stub radius can remarkably influence the band structures and the asymmetric double-sided plate exhibits a new bandgap (BG) in lower frequency range due to the coupling between the lower stub’s resonant mode and the plate’s Lamb mode becomes weak and the adjacent bands separate. Moreover, we further investigate the effect of the stub height on the dispersion relations and find that the BGs shift to lower frequency regions with the increase of the stub height. In addition, the BGs’ sensitivity to the upper stub radius and the stub height is discussed. The low-frequency BGs in the proposed PC plate can potentially be used to control and insulate vibration in low frequency range.

Phononic crystal is an artificial periodic structure in which elastic constants distribute periodically. In this paper, a two dimensional Bragg scattering phononic crystal was introduced into low-frequency noise reduction facility in the brake originally. Through the theoretical analysis by using Plane-wave Expansion Method to obtain the band diagram of a phononic crystal with holes periodically arranged in the 45 carbon steel plate and establishing the equivalent model in motion as the brake, we find an approximate bandgap between 0–5400Hz in the low-frequency range while the complete static bandgaps are distributed in the high-frequency range. It is believed that this kind of extremely low-frequency bandgap is due to the combination of the vibration of a single scatter and the interaction among scatters. In order to demonstrate the theory, contrastive experiment was taken. Noise spectrum diagram of the origin plate without holes was obtained in the first experiment. According to the equivalent model, the two dimensional air column/steel matrix phononic crystal structure in which filling rate was 40% was designed to apply in the test apparatus so that the frequency range (2050 to 2300Hz) of strong noise would be involved in this bandgap. Moreover, the noise in the whole frequency range (0–2550Hz) went down. This phenomenon proved that experiment result was coincident with theoretic consequence. The maximum decreasing amplitude of the noise reached as much as 25dB and the average decreasing amplitude was about 13dB from 2050 to 2300 Hz. In a word, this bandgap which is the combination effect of structure periodicity or the Mie scattering has an obvious extremely low-frequency characteristic in noise and vibration control in the brake.

In this paper, we study the band gaps (BGs) of the two-dimensional (2D) Sierpinski fractal phononic crystals (SFPGs) embedded in the homogenous matrix. The BGs structure, transmission spectra and displacement fields of eigenmodes of the proposed structures are calculated by using finite element method (FEM). Due to the simultaneous mechanisms of the Bragg scattering, the structure can exhibit low-frequency BGs, which can be effectively shifted by changing the inclusion rotation angle. The initial stress values can compress the BGs is proposed for the first time. Through the calculation, it is shown that, in the 2D solid–solid SFPG, the multi-frequency BGs exist. The whole BGs would incline to the low-frequency range with the increase of the fractal dimension. The SFPGs with different shape inclusions, can modulate the number, width and location of BGs. The study in this paper is relevant to the design of tuning BGs and isolators in the low-frequency range.

In this paper, a novel metal-matrix phononic crystal with a low-frequency, broad and complete, locally-resonant band gap, which includes the in-plane and out-of-plane band gaps, is investigated numerically. The proposed structure consists of double-sided single “hard” cylinder stubs, which are deposited on a two-dimensional locally-resonant phononic-crystal plate that consists of an array of rubber fillers embedded in a steel plate. Our results indicate that both the out-of-plane band gap and the in-plane band gap increase after introducing single “hard” cylinder stubs. More specifically, the out-of-plane band gap is increased by the out-of-plane analogous-rigid mode, while the in-plane band gap is increased by the in-plane analogous-rigid mode. The out-of-plane and the in-plane analogous-rigid mode are formed after introduction of the single “hard” cylinder stub. As a result, a broad, complete locally-resonant band gap in the low frequency is obtained due to the broad in-plane and out-of-plane band gaps overlapping. Compared to the classical double-sided stubbed metal-matrix phononic-crystal plate, the absolute bandwidth of the complete band gap is increased by a factor of 4.76 in the proposed structure. Furthermore, the effect of simple “hard” stubs on complete band gaps is investigated. The results show that the location of the complete band gaps can be modulated using a low frequency, and the bandwidth can be extended to a larger frequency range using different “hard” stubs. The new structure provides an effective way for metal-matrix phononic crystals to obtain broad and complete locally-resonant band gaps in the low-frequency range, which has many applications for low-frequency vibration reduction.

A hybrid structure composed of a local resonance mass and an external oscillator is proposed in this paper for restraining the elastic longitudinal wave propagation. Theoretical model has been established to investigate the dispersion relation and band gaps of the structure. The results show that the hybrid structure can produce multi-band gaps wider than the multi-resonator acoustic metamaterials. It is much easier for the hybrid structure to yield wide and low band gaps by adjusting the mass and stiffness of the external oscillator. Small series spring constant ratio results in low-frequency band gaps, in which the external oscillator acts as a resonator and replaces the original local resonator to hold the band gaps in low frequency range. Compared with the one-dimensional phononic crystal (PC) lattice, a new band gap emerges in lower frequency range in the hybrid structure because of the added local resonance, which will be a significant assistance in low-frequency vibration and noise reduction. Further, harmonic response analysis using finite element method (FEM) has been performed, and results show that elastic longitudinal waves are efficiently forbidden within the band gaps.

AbstractIn view of the influence of variability of low-frequency noise frequency on noise prevention in real life, we present a novel two-dimensional tunable phononic crystal plate which is consisted of lead columns deposited in a silicone rubber plate with periodic holes and calculate its bandgap characteristics by finite element method. The low-frequency bandgap mechanism of the designed model is discussed simultaneously. Accordingly, the influence of geometric parameters of the phononic crystal plate on the bandgap characteristics is analyzed and the bandgap adjustability under prestretch strain is further studied. Results show that the new designed phononic crystal plate has lower bandgap starting frequency and wider bandwidth than the traditional single-sided structure, which is due to the coupling between the resonance mode of the scatterer and the long traveling wave in the matrix with the introduction of periodic holes. Applying prestretch strain to the matrix can realize active realtime control of low-frequency bandgap under slight deformation and broaden the low-frequency bandgap, which can be explained as the multiple bands tend to be flattened due to the localization degree of unit cell vibration increases with the rise of prestrain. The presented structure improves the realtime adjustability of sound isolation and vibration reduction frequency for phononic crystal in complex acoustic vibration environments.
