Vibration Band Gap Characteristics of Two-Dimensional Periodic Double-Wall Grillages

Abstract

In this article, the wave finite element method (WFEM) is used to calculate the band gap characteristics of two-dimensional (2D) periodic double-wall grillages (DwGs), which are verified by the grillage model vibration measurement experiment and finite element calculation. To obtain the band gap characteristics of periodic DwGs, the finite element calculation model is established according to the lattice and energy band theory and the characteristic equation of the periodic unit cell under the given wave vector condition is solved based on Bloch theorem. Then, the frequency transfer functions of finite-length manufactured and finite element models are obtained to verify the band gap characteristics of periodic DwGs. Finally, the effects of material parameters and structural forms on band gap characteristics and transfer functions are analyzed, which can provide a reference for engineering structure vibration and noise reduction design.
