Granular micromechanics based micromorphic model predicts frequency band gaps

Granular materials are typically characterized by complex structure and composition. Continuum modeling, therefore, remains the mainstay for describing properties of these material systems. In this paper, we extend the granular micromechanics approach by considering enhanced kinematic analysis. In this analysis, a decomposition of the relative movements of interacting grain pairs into parts arising from macro-scale strain as well as micro-scale strain measures is introduced. The decomposition is then used to formulate grain-scale deformation energy functions and derive inter-granular constitutive laws. The macro-scale deformation energy density is defined as a summation of micro-scale deformation energy defined for each interacting grain pair. As a result, a micromorphic continuum model for elasticity of granular media is derived and applied to investigate the wave propagation behavior. Dispersion graphs for different cases and different ratios between the microscopic stiffness parameters have been presented. It is seen that the model has the capability to present band gaps over a large range of wave numbers.     

Wave propagation and dispersion in elasto-plastic microstructured materials

A Mindlin continuum model that incorporates both a dependence upon the microstructure and inelastic (nonlinear) behavior is used to study dispersive effects in elasto-plastic microstructured materials. A one-dimensional equation of motion of such material systems is derived based on a combination of the Mindlin microcontinuum model and a hardening model both at the macroscopic and microscopic level. The dispersion relation of propagating waves is established and compared to the classical linear elastic and gradient-dependent solutions. It is shown that the observed wave dispersion is the result of introducing microstructural effects and material inelasticity. The introduction of an internal characteristic length scale regularizes the ill-posedness of the set of partial differential equations governing the wave propagation. The phase speed does not necessarily become imaginary at the onset of plastic softening, as it is the case in classical continuum models and the dispersive character of such models constrains strain softening regions to localize.     

Modeling Phononic Crystals via the Weighted Relaxed Micromorphic Model with Free and Gradient Micro-Inertia

In this paper the relaxed micromorphic continuum model with weighted free and gradient micro-inertia is used to describe the dynamical behavior of a real two-dimensional phononic crystal for a wide range of wavelengths. In particular, a periodic structure with specific micro-structural topology and mechanical properties, capable of opening a phononic band-gap, is chosen with the criterion of showing a low degree of anisotropy (the band-gap is almost independent of the direction of propagation of the traveling wave). A Bloch wave analysis is performed to obtain the dispersion curves and the corresponding vibrational modes of the periodic structure. A linear-elastic, isotropic, relaxed micromorphic model including both a free micro-inertia (related to free vibrations of the microstructures) and a gradient micro-inertia (related to the motions of the microstructure which are coupled to the macro-deformation of the unit cell) is introduced and particularized to the case of plane wave propagation. The parameters of the relaxed model, which are independent of frequency, are then calibrated on the dispersion curves of the phononic crystal showing an excellent agreement in terms of both dispersion curves and vibrational modes. Almost all the homogenized elastic parameters of the relaxed micromorphic model result to be determined. This opens the way to the design of morphologically complex meta-structures which make use of the chosen phononic material as the basic building block and which preserve its ability of “stopping” elastic wave propagation at the scale of the structure.     

蜂窝材料的弹性波传播特性

A physical perspective of the length scales in gradient elasticity through the prism of wave dispersion

The goal of this study is to understand the physical meaning and evaluate the intrinsic length scale parameters, featured in the theories of gradient elasticity, by deploying the analytical treatment and experimental measurements of the dispersion of elastic waves. The developments are focused on examining the propagation of longitudinal waves in an aluminum rod with periodically varying cross-section. First, the analytical solution for the dispersion relationship, based on the periodic cell analysis of a bi-layered laminate and Bloch theorem, is compared to two competing models of gradient elasticity. It is shown that the customary gradient elastic model with two length-scale parameters is able to capture the dispersion accurately up to the beginning of the first band gap. On the other hand, the gradient elastic model with an additional length scale (affiliated with the fourth-order time derivative in the field equation) is shown to capture not only the first dispersion branch before the band gap, but also the band gap itself and the preponderance of the second branch. Closed form relations between the microstructure parameters and the intrinsic length scales are obtained for both gradient elasticity models. By way of the asymptotic treatment in the limit of a weak contrast between the laminae, a clear physical meaning and scaling of the length-scale parameters was established in terms of: (i) the microstructure (given by the size of the unit cell and the contrast between the laminae), and (ii) thus induced dispersion relationship (characterized by the location and the width of the band gap). The analysis is verified through an experimental observation of wave dispersion, and wave attenuation within the band gap. A comparison between the analytical treatment, the gradient elastic model with three intrinsic length scales, and experimental measurements demonstrates a good agreement over the range of frequencies considered.     

Prediction on dispersion in elastoplastic unsaturated granular media

This study focuses on the propagation of the plane wave in the elastoplastic unsaturated granular media, and the wave equations and dispersion equations are derived for the media under the framework of Cosserat theory. Due to symmetry, five different wave modes are considered and predicted for the elastoplastic unsaturated granular media based on the Cosserat theory, including two longitudinal waves, one rotational longitudinal wave and two coupled transverse–rotational transverse waves. The correspondence is discussed between these Cosserat wave modes and the classical wave modes. Based on the dispersion equations, the dispersion behaviors are obtained for the five Cosserat wave modes. The results indicated that the different stress-strain stages,including the elastic, hardening and softening stages, have obvious effect on the dispersion behaviors of the Cosserat wave modes.     

Frequency- and Amplitude-Dependent Transmission of Stress Waves in Curved One-Dimensional Granular Crystals Composed of Diatomic Particles

We study the stress wave propagation in curved chains of particles (granular crystals) confined by bent elastic guides. We report the frequency- and amplitude-dependent filtering of transmitted waves in relation to various impact conditions and geometrical configurations. The granular crystals studied consist of alternating cylindrical and spherical particles pre-compressed with variable static loads. First, we excite the granular crystals with small-amplitude, broadband perturbations using a piezoelectric actuator to generate oscillatory elastic waves. We find that the linear frequency spectrum of the transmitted waves creates pass- and stop-bands in agreement with the theoretical dispersion relation, demonstrating the frequency-dependent filtering of input excitations through the diatomic granular crystals. Next, we excite high-amplitude nonlinear pulses in the crystals using striker impacts. Experimental tests verify the formation and propagation of highly nonlinear solitary waves that exhibit amplitude-dependent attenuation. We show that the wave propagation can be easily tuned by manipulating the pre-compression imposed to the chain or by varying the initial curvature of the granular chains. We use a combined discrete element (DE) and finite element (FE) numerical model to simulate the propagation of both dispersive linear waves and compactly-supported highly nonlinear waves. We find that the tunable, frequency- and amplitude-dependent filtering of the incoming signals results from the close interplay between the granular particles and the soft elastic media. The findings in this study suggest that hybrid structures composed of granular particles and linear elastic media can be employed as new passive acoustic filtering materials that selectively transmit or mitigate excitations in a desired range of frequencies and amplitudes.     

Wave dispersion in randomly layered materials

Wave scattering in materials composed of two kinds of alternating layers with different elastic properties and randomly distributed thicknesses has been modeled. The general form of the dispersion equation is derived for the unbounded layered medium. It defines two basic macroscopic characteristics of the scattered wave: phase velocity and attenuation, which are explicit functions of wave frequency and microscopic parameters of the system: acoustic properties of the layers and stochastic characteristics of their thickness distributions. The analytical expressions are derived for three special cases: for long waves; for a periodic medium composed of layers with constant thicknesses and for random medium with uniform distribution of layer thicknesses. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the frequency dependence of the wave parameters. It was shown that the predictions of the model for long waves and for periodic medium are compatible with the results obtained in the literature.Moreover, comparison of theoretical results for frequency dependent wave parameters with numerical simulations of pulse transmission through the slab of the randomly layered medium shows good qualitative and quantitative agreement in wide frequency range.     

A continuum model with microstructures for wave propagation in ultra-thin films

Ultrasonic waves are powerful and popular methods for measuring mechanical properties of solids even at nanoscales. The extraction of material constants from the measured wave data requires the use of a model that can accurately describe the wave motion in the solid. The objective of this paper is to develop a continuum theory with microstructures that can capture the effect of the microstructure or nanostructure in ultra-thin films when waves of short wavelengths are used. This continuum theory is developed from assumed displacement fields for microstructures. Local kinematic variables are introduced to express these local displacements and are subjected to internal continuity conditions. The accuracy of the present theory is verified by comparing the results with those of the lattice model for the thin film. Specifically, dispersion curves for surface wave propagation and wave propagation in a thin film supported by an elastic homogeneous substrate are studied. The inadequacy of the conventional continuum theory is discussed.
