Study on Band Gap Characteristics of Phononic Crystal Double-Layer Beam Structure Attached by Multilayer Cylinder

Abstract

Intended for the vibration and noise control problems faced by many engineering fields, a fresh variety of phononic crystal beam structure was constructed by attaching a one-dimensional periodic multilayer cylinder to a double-layer beam structure. Utilizing the finite element method and the Bloch theorem, the vibration modes of the band structure, the critical point of the band gap and the associated finite structure’s vibration transmission is estimated, and then the band gap characteristics of the structure are comprehensively studied. The results show that reasonable parameter design can achieve vibration and noise control in a certain frequency range. Based on the modal analysis, the mechanism of band gap opening is revealed. By comparing the single-layer beam and double-layer beam with the same parameters, the advantages of the double-layer beam in vibration reduction and noise reduction are shown. The study’s findings offer a fresh concept for ship engineering disciplines including vibration and noise reduction technology.
