In this paper, the low-frequency and tuning characteristic of band gap in a two-dimensional phononic crystal structure, consisting of a square array of aluminum cylindrical stubs deposited on both sides of a thin rubber plate with slit structure, are investigated. Using the finite element method, the dispersion relationships and power transmission spectra of this structure are calculated. In contrast to a typical phononic crystal without slit structure, the proposed slit structure shows band gaps at lower frequencies. The vibration modes of the band gap edges are analyzed to clarify the mechanism of the lowest band gaps. Additionally, the influence of the slit parameters and stub parameters on the band gaps in slit structure are investigated. The geometrical parameters of the slits and stubs were found to influence the band gaps; this is critical to understand for practical applications. These results will help in fabricating phononic crystal structures whose band frequency can be modulated at lower frequencies.

Elastic steel metamaterial plates can be used for noise- and vibration-reduction due to unique physical properties related to their vibration band gap. However, obtaining a complete low-frequency vibration band gap in a thick elastic steel metamaterial plate is difficult. In this paper, we simulate a complete low-frequency vibration band gap in a thick elastic steel metamaterial plate. The structure consists of periodic, double-sided, composite stepped resonators, which were deposited on a 2D locally resonant phononic crystal plate. The phononic crystal plate consists of an array of rubber fillers embedded in a thick steel plate. The dispersion relations, power-transmission spectra, and the displacement fields of the eigenmodes are calculated using the finite-element method. The results show that, for the proposed structure, the opening of the first complete vibration band gap is reduced by a factor of 9.5 compared to a conventional thick elastic steel metamaterial plate. This causes attenuation of low-frequency elastic waves. The formation mechanisms for the vibration band gap are also explored numerically. The results indicate that the formation mechanism for the new low-frequency vibration band gap can be attributed to coupling between a local resonance mode of the composite stepped resonators and the Lamb wave mode of the thick steel-plate. The location of the vibration band gap is determined by the resonator mode of the composite stepped resonators. The vibration band gap effects of the composite stepped resonators are also investigated in this paper. We find that the location of the complete vibration band gaps can be modulated with a relatively low frequency using different composite stepped resonators. Such an elastic steel metamaterial plate with a complete low-frequency vibration band gap can be used to reduce both vibration and noise in various commercial and research applications.

In this paper, a novel wrap-around multi-scattering phononic crystal (PC) structure is proposed. Band gaps (BGs) and transmission characteristics of the present structure are calculated using finite element method (FEM). Through the calculations of single-scattering prototype, three complete BGs which are exhibited at low frequency and the fourth wide BG at high frequency are discovered. The transmission features and resonant spectra represented by frequency response function (FRF) shows that apparent resonance directly cause the four specific BGs. By keeping the total area of scatterers unchanged, 2 × 2, 3 × 3 and 4 × 4 scatterers are designed to obtain the change rule of BGs. Furthermore, the size ratio of 2 × 2 scatterers, the number of connection beams are investigated to obtain the regular pattern of acoustic energy transmission and attenuation. The present investigation of multiple-scatter PC structure will provide a solid support on the future design of acoustical functional materials.

Locally resonant phononic crystal (LRPC) has the extraordinary property to prohibit the wave propagation in specific low-frequency ranges, however it exists limitation in engineering application due to narrow band gap width. Extensive achievements have been obtained on the locally resonant band gap (LRBG) tunability, whereas existing investigations mainly concern the independent primitive cells structure, which have the limitation in obtaining low-frequency and broadband simultaneously. In this paper, the composited locally resonant phononic crystals (CLRPC) are proposed and the effects of primitive cells contact state on the LRBG properties are investigated. The dispersion curves are applied to obtain the LRBG, and the corresponding modal features are analyzed to explain the band gap formation mechanism. The band structure indicates the design of composite primitive cells is able to increase the band gap number and obtain lower band gap, which is verified by the frequency response function (FRF). For the band gap formation mechanism, the asymmetric vibration due to primitive cells contact leads to diverse and strong coupling response, which generates more band gaps and reduces the band gap starting frequency, therefore the band gaps can be tuned by designing carefully the geometry structure of CLRPC. Further researches on band gap optimization demonstrate that the smaller cell spacing, smaller lattice constant and larger damping of coating layer should be satisfied to obtain broader LRBG and considerable attenuation synchronously. This investigation can provide references for the locally resonant isolation structure design in the low-frequency vibration control field.

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, 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.
