We study the wave propagation behavior in Miura-ori patterns by using the Bloch-wave analysis framework. Our investigation focuses on acoustic bandgaps that act as stopping bands for wave propagation at certain frequencies in periodic solids or structures. We show that bandgaps can be created in two-dimensional periodic Miura-ori patterns by introducing material inhomogeneity. First, we perform Bloch-wave analysis of homogeneous Miura-ori patterns with finite panel rigidity and find that no bandgaps are present. We then introduce bandgaps by making the pattern non-uniform — by changing the mass and axial rigidity of origami panels of alternating unit cells. We discuss the dependence of the magnitude of the bandgap on the contrast between material properties. We find that higher magnitudes of bandgaps are possible by using higher contrast ratios (mass and stiffness). These observations indicate the potential of origami-based patterns to be useful as acoustic metamaterials for vibration control.

Pentamode metamaterials have been receiving an increasing amount of interest due to their water-like properties. In this paper, a two-dimensional composite pentamode metamaterial of rectangular unit cell is proposed. The unit cells can be classified into two groups, one with uniform arms and the other with non-uniform arms. Phononic band structures of the unit cells were calculated to derive their properties. The unit cells can be pentamode metamaterials that permit acoustic wave travelling or have a total band gap that impedes acoustic wave propagation by varying the structures. The influences of geometric parameters and materials of the composed elements on the effective velocities and anisotropy were analyzed. The metamaterials can be used for acoustic wave control under water. Simulations of materials with different unit cells were conducted to verify the calculated properties of the unit cells. The research provides theoretical support for applications of the pentamode metamaterials.

Considerable interest has been devoted to the development of various classes of acoustic metamaterials. Acoustic metamaterials are those structurally engineered materials that are composed of periodic cells designed in such a fashion to yield specific material properties (density and bulk modulus) that would affect the wave propagation pattern within in a specific way. All the currently exerted efforts are focused on studying passive metamaterials with fixed material properties. In this paper, the emphasis is placed on the development of a new class of composite one-dimensional acoustic metamaterials with effective densities that are programmed to vary according to any prescribed patterns along the volume of the metamaterial. The theoretical analysis of this class of multilayered composite active acoustic metamaterials (CAAMM) is presented and the theoretical predictions are determined for an array of fluid cavities separated by piezoelectric boundaries. These smart self-sensing and actuating boundaries are used to modulate the overall stiffness of the metamaterial periodic cell and in turn its dynamic density through direct acoustic pressure feedback. The interaction between the neighboring layers of the composite metamaterial is modeled using a lumped-parameter approach. One-dimensional wave propagation as well as long wavelength assumptions are adapted in the current analysis. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the performance characteristics of the proposed CAAMM and its potential for generating prescribed spatial and spectral patterns of density variation. The CAAMM presents a viable approach to the development of effective acoustic cloaks that can be used for treating critical objects in order to render them acoustically invisible.

Acoustic metamaterials are those structurally engineered materials that are composed of periodic cells designed in such a fashion to yield specific material properties (density and bulk modulus) that would affect the wave propagation pattern within in a specific way. All the currently exerted efforts are focused on studying passive metamaterials with fixed material properties. In this paper, the emphasis is placed on the development of a new class of composite one-dimensional active acoustic metamaterials (CAAMM) with effective densities and bulk moduli that are programmed to vary according to any prescribed patterns along its volume. A cylindrical water-filled cylinder coupled to two piezoelectric elements form a composite cell to act as a base unit for a periodic metamaterial structure. Two different configurations are considered. In the first configuration, a piezoelectric panel is flash-mounted to the face of the cylinder, while the other is side-mounted to the cylinder wall, introducing a variable stiffness along the wave propagation path. In the second configuration, the face-mounted piezoelectric panel remains unchanged, while the side-mounted panel is replaced with an active Helmholtz resonator with piezoelectric base panel. A detailed theoretical lumped-parameter model for the two configurations is present, from which the stiffness of both active elements is controlled via charge feedback control to yield arbitrary homogenized effective bulk modulus and density over a very wide frequency range. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the performance characteristics of the proposed. The CAAMM presents a viable approach to the development of effective domains with a controllable wave propagation pattern to suit many applications.
