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 the paper, a phononic crystal plate composed of a magnetorheological elastomer with adjustable band gaps in the low frequency range is constructed. The dispersion relations of Lamb waves are studied by the supercell plane wave expansion method. The transmission responses as well as the displacement fields of Lamb waves are calculated by the finite element method. The influence of geometric parameters on the band gaps, the regulation effect of the volume ratio of Fe particles and the bias magnetic field on the band gaps are analyzed. Based on the numerical results, we find that the volume ratio of Fe particles and the magnetic field affect the band gap effectively. The location and width of the band gaps can be adjusted within a broad frequency range by varying the geometric parameters and magnetic field. We can control the band gap, achieve an appropriate and wide low band gap by selecting proper geometric parameters and applying an external contactless magnetic field to deal with complicated and changeable engineering environment. The results are useful for understanding and optimizing the design of composite vibration isolation plates.

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.

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.

Aiming at solving the NVH problem in vehicles, a novel composite structure is proposed. The new structure uses a hollow-stub phononic-crystal with filled cylinders (HPFC) plate. Any unit in the plate consists of a lead head, a silicon rubber body, an aluminum base as outer column and an opposite arranged inner pole. The dispersion curves are investigated by numerical simulations and the influences of structural parameters are discussed, including traditional hollow radius, thickness, height ratio, and the new proposed filling ratio. Three new arrays are created and their spectrum maps are calculated. In the dispersion simulation results, new branches are observed. The new branches would move towards lower frequency zone and the band gap width enlarges as the filling ratio decreases. The transmission spectrum results show that the new design can realize three different multiplexing arrays for waveguides and also extend the locally resonant sonic band gap. In summary, the proposed HPFC structure could meet the requirement for noise guiding and filtering. Compared to a traditional phononic crystal plate, this new composite structure may be more suitable for noise reduction in rail or road vehicles.
