In order to solve the problem of low-frequency noise of aircraft cabins, this paper presents a new Helmholtz type phononic crystal with a two-dimensional symmetric structure. Under the condition of the lattice constant of 62 mm, the lower limit of the first band gap is about 12 Hz, and the width is more than 10 Hz, thus the symmetric structure has distinct sound insulation ability in the low-frequency range. Firstly, the cause of the low-frequency band gap is analyzed by using the sound pressure field, and the range of band gaps is calculated by using the finite element method and the spring-oscillator model. Although the research shows that the finite element calculation results are basically consistent with the theoretical calculation, there are still some errors, and the reasons for the errors are analyzed. Secondly, the finite element method and equivalent model method are used to explore the influence of parameters of the symmetric structure on the first band gap. The result shows that the upper limit of the first band gap decreases with the increase of the lattice constant and the wedge height and increases with the increase of the length of wedge base; the lower limit of the band gap decreases with the increase of the wedge height and length of wedge base and is independent of the change of lattice constant, which further reveals the essence of the band gap formation and verifies the accuracy of the equivalent model. This study provides some theoretical support for low-frequency noise control and broadens the design idea of symmetric phononic crystal.

The nanoindentation loading response of elastoplastic materials was simulated by the finite element method (FEM). The influence of the Young’s modulus E, yield stress σy, strain hardening exponent n and Poisson’s ratio ν on the loading response was investigated. Based on an equivalent model, an equation with physical meaning was proposed to quantitatively describe the influence. The calculations agree well with the FEM simulations and experimental results in literature. Comparisons with the predictions using equations in the literature also show the reliability of the proposed equation. The investigations show that the loading curvature C increases with increasing E, σy, n and ν. The increase rates of C with E, σy, n and ν are different for their different influences on the flow stress after yielding. It is also found that the influence of one of the four mechanical parameters on C can be affected by the other mechanical parameters.

A hybrid phononic crystal has been investigated. The characteristic frequency of XY mode, transmission loss and displacement vector have been calculated by the finite element method. There are Bragg scattering band gap and local resonance band gap in the band structures. We studied the influence factors of band gap. There are many flat bands in the eigenfrequencies curve. There are many flat bands in the curve. The band gap covers a large range in low frequency. The band gaps cover more than 95% below 3000 Hz.

Plane wave expansion (PWE) method and finite element method (FEM) are applied to analyze the vibration reduction characteristic of the phononic crystal structural plate, and the results of two methods are consistent. The range of band gap is acquired, which certain frequent elastic wave propagation is forbidden.

Because of the position of the motor and the excitation of the suspension system, a wheel-driven electric bus produces low-frequency noise, which is difficult to resolve through traditional sound absorption and noise reduction technology. Through an interior noise test of a wheel-driven electric bus, we found that the interior low-frequency noise had a considerable influence on the driver. In order to solve this problem, a locally resonant phononic crystal was used to meet the requirements of vibration and noise reduction for the wheel-driven electric bus. The intrinsic relationship between the band gap distribution of the locally resonant phononic crystal and the topology was established by training a neural network, so as to achieve the desired effect of the bandgap model on the basis of the input bandgap range. Upon an increase in the number of models, the prediction model error decreased gradually. This method could quickly obtain the structural parameters of the locally resonant phononic crystal with the expected band gap, which made it convenient to apply locally resonant phononic crystals to the vibration and noise reduction of wheel-driven electric buses and in other fields.

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.
