不同压电分流电路对声子晶体梁带隙的影响

通过在匀质基体梁上周期性对贴连有分流电路的压电片,可以形成一维声子晶体结构.不同分流电路将决定梁的带隙特性.电阻分流电路能够对梁的模态共振有一定的抑制作用,而且可以通过改变压电效应的强弱使Bragg带隙结构发生变化.LC分流电路会使梁产生局域共振带隙,其带隙是由压电片激励LC电路产生电磁振荡形成.引入电阻后会使LC电路的共振作用变弱,使得带隙衰减幅值变小,但可以扩宽带隙频率范围.     

Band gap control of phononic beam with negative capacitance piezoelectric shunt

Periodic arrays of negative capacitance shunted piezoelectric patches are employed to control the band gaps of phononic beams. The location and the extent of induced band gap depend on the mismatch in impedance generated by each patch. The total impedance mismatch is determined by the added mass and stiffness of each patch as well as the shunting electrical impedance. Therefore, the band gap of the shunted phononic beam can be actively tuned by appropriately selecting the value of negative capacitance. The control of the band gap of phononic beam with negative capacitive shunt is demonstrated numerically by employing transfer matrix method. The result reveals that using negative capacitive shunt to tune the band gap is effective.     

Wave propagation in beams with anti-symmetric piezoelectric shunting arrays

Piezoelectric shunting arrays are employed to control the wave propagation in flexible beams. Contrary to conventional symmetric configuration, a substrate beam with anti-symmetric shunting arrays is investigated by adapted transfer matrix method. Compared with symmetric scheme, the anti-symmetric one demonstrates some distinctive characteristics.Primarily, the longitudinal and flexural waves are coupled, so they are correlated and must be considered simultaneously.Moreover, the attenuation of flexural wave is much stronger in anti-symmetric scenario, while the longitudinal wave demonstrates the converse side. As a result, the anti-symmetric scheme can be utilized to improve the vibration isolation capability of shunting arrays. Finally, the theoretical analyses are validated by finite element simulations.     

Tunable band gaps in acoustic metamaterials with periodic arrays of resonant shunted piezos

Periodic arrays of resonant shunted piezoelectric patches are employed to control the wave propagation in a two-dimensional (2D) acoustic metamaterial. The performance is characterized by the finite element method. More importantly, we propose an approach to solving the conventional issue of the nonlinear eigenvalue problem, and give a convenient solution to the dispersion properties of 2D metamaterials with periodic arrays of resonant shunts in this article. Based on this modeling method, the dispersion relations of a 2D metamaterial with periodic arrays of resonant shunted piezos are calculated. The results show that the internal resonances of the shunting system split the dispersion curves, thereby forming a locally resonant band gap. However, unlike the conventional locally resonant gap, the vibrations in this locally resonant gap are unable to be completely localized in oscillators consisting of shunting inductors and piezo-patches.
