Abstract:
For the application of low-frequency vibration damping in industry, a cylindrical cavity double-layer plate-type local resonance phononic crystal structure is proposed to solve low-frequency vibration in mechanical equipment. Initially, using COMSOL 5.4 software, the bending wave band gap is calculated in conjunction with elastic dynamics theory and the BOLOCH theorem to be 127-384 Hz. Then the mechanism of bending wave gap is analyzed by combining element mode shape and an equivalent model. Subsequently, the bending vibration transmission characteristics of the crystal plate are explained, and the vibration-damping characteristics are illustrated in combination with the time-frequency domain. An experimental system is constructed to verify the vibration-damping properties of crystal plates; the experimental results and simulation results are verified with each other. Finally, the element structural parameters are optimized using the RSM. Fifty-four sets of experiments are designed based on six structural factors and three levels, and the expressions between the bending wave band gap and six structural factors are obtained. Combining the particle swarm algorithm, the optimization is performed with the band gap width as the target. This method is shown to be more accurate than the commonly used interior point method. The structure of cylindrical-cavity-type phononic crystal and the parameter optimization method proposed in this paper provide a certain reference for the design of local-resonance-type phononic crystal.
