Abstract This paper reports dynamical effects in onedimensional locally resonant piezoelectric metastructures that can be leveraged by nonlinear electrical attachments featuring either combined quadratic and quartic, or essentially quartic potentials. The nonlinear electromechanical unit cell is built upon a linear host oscillator coupled to a nonlinear electrical circuit via piezoelectricity. Its dynamical response to prescribed longitudinal harmonic displacements is approached in the frequency and time domains. Semi-analytical harmonic balance (HB)-based dispersion relations are derived to predict the location and edges of the nonlinear attenuation band. Numerical responses show that weakly and moderately nonlinear piezoelectric metastructures (NPMSs) promote a class of nonlinear attenuation band where a bandgap and a wave supratransmission band coexist, while also imparting nonlinear attenuation at the resonances around the underlying linear bandgap. Besides, strongly nonlinear regimes are shown to elicit broadband chaotic attenuation. Negative capacitance (NC)-based essentially cubic piezoelectric attachments are found to potentiate the aforementioned effects over a broader bandwidth. Excellent agreement is found between the predictions of the HB based dispersion relations and the nonlinear transmissibility functions of undamped and weakly damped NPMSs at weakly and moderately nonlinear regimes, even in the presence of NC circuits. This research is expected to pave the way towards fully tunable smart periodic metastructures for vibration control via nonlinear piezoelectric attachments.PACS 05.45.-a . 62.30.+d . 62.65.+kMathematics Subject Classification (2010) 37N15 . 74H45 . 74H65 . 74J30

The objective of this study is to give an overview of existing theories for analyzing the behavior of sandwich beams and plates and to develop an approach for evaluating their behavior under dynamic loading. The dispersion relations for harmonic wave propagation through sandwich structures are shown to be a sound basis for evaluating whether the individual layers are modeled properly. The results provide a guide in the selection of existing models or the development of new models.

For wave propagation in periodic media with strong nonlinearity, steady-state solutions can be obtained by solving a corresponding nonlinear delay differential equation (DDE). Based on the periodicity, the steady-state response of a repeated particle or segment in the media contains the complete information of solutions for the wave equation. Considering the motion of the selected particle or segment as a variable, motions of its adjacent particles or segments can be described by the same variable function with different phases, which are delayed variables. Thus, the governing equation for wave propagation can be converted to a nonlinear DDE with multiple delays. A modified incremental harmonic balance (IHB) method is presented here to solve the nonlinear DDE by introducing a delay matrix operator, where a direct approach is used to efficiently and automatically construct the Jacobian matrix for the nonlinear residual in the IHB method. This method is presented by solving an example of a one-dimensional monatomic chain under a nonlinear Hertzian contact law. Results are well matched with those in previous work, while calculation time and derivation effort are significantly reduced. Also there is no additional derivation required to solve new wave systems with different governing equations.

The exact solutions of the nonlinear vibration systems are extremely complicated to be received, so it is crucial to analyze their approximate solutions. This paper employs the spreading residue harmonic balance method (SRHBM) to derive analytical approximate solutions for the fifth-order nonlinear problem, which corresponds to the strongly nonlinear vibration of an elastically restrained beam with a lumped mass. When the SRHBM is used, the residual terms are added to improve the accuracy of approximate solutions. Illustrative examples are provided along with verifying the accuracy of the present method and are compared with the HAM solutions, the EBM solutions, and exact solutions in tables. At the same time, the phase diagrams and time history curves are drawn by the mathematical software. Through analysis and discussion, the results obtained here demonstrate that the SRHBM is an effective and robust technique for nonlinear dynamical systems. In addition, the SRHBM can be widely applied to a variety of nonlinear dynamic systems.

Different from elastic waves in linear periodic structures, those in phononic crystals with nonlinear properties can exhibit more interesting phenomena. Linear dispersion relations cannot predict band-gap variations due to intensity of wave motion; creating nonlinear phononic crystals remains challenging and few examples have been studied. Recent studies in the literature mainly focus on discrete chain-like structures and consider weak nonlinear regimes; they cannot accurately obtain some relations between wave propagation characteristics and nonlinearities. Our models are based on exact Green-Lagrange strain relations for a structure using the B-spline wavelet on the interval (BSWI) finite element method. Numerical examples show that the proposed method performs well for band structure problems with general nonlinearities. This study can provide good support for engineering applications, such as sound and vibration control using tunable band gaps of nonlinear phononic crystals.
