Abstract

Introduction

Artificial materials, known as phononic crystals (PCs) and acoustics/elastic metamaterials (AMs/EMs), have been proved to have band-gaps within which no flexural wave can propagate through, which have received great attentions. Among AMs/EMs, locally resonant (LR) beams are frequently encountered in the field of mechanical, civil and aeronautical engineering. However, the analysis of finite LR beams lacks of an efficient and exact approach.

Objectives

The primary objective of this study is to employ and develop an exact and efficient wave-based vibration analysis approach to study a finite Timoshenko LR beam carrying periodic separated force and moment type resonators.

Methods

The proposed wave-based analysis approach is a powerful method that provides the exact solution in vibration analysis for structural waves that propagate along uniform structural elements and reflect and transmit at structural discontinuities. With the approach, the modeling and analysis process can be well simplified, which improves the efficiency in the design and analysis of finite LR beams.

Results

The frequency response results with three sets of resonators obtained through wave-based analysis approach show great agreements with both simulation and experimental results. Moreover, the measured results of the resonator with higher natural frequency show the promising advantage in achieving broader band-gap in low-frequency range, because the propagation attenuation in the experiment causes the absence of the narrow pass-bands which exists in the theoretical results.

Conclusion

This paper proves that the wave-based vibration analysis approach was an exact and efficient method in solving complex vibration problem in finite periodic LR structures. In addition, the rich dispersion relation and wide band-gap property of the separated force and moment type resonators are demonstrated with the theoretical, simulation, and experimental results.
