An Electrically Tunable Spiral Acoustic Metastructure for Reducing In-Vehicle Noise with Varying Excitation Frequencies
摘要
To address in-vehicle noise issues across varying excitation frequencies, this paper introduces a novel spiral acoustic metastructure (SAMS) featuring electrically tunable bandgaps. The proposed SAMS unit cell consists of 4 parts: a micro-stepper motor, a spiral beam, 2 end covers (upper and lower). The micro-stepper motor serves dual functions as both a mass and a means to rotate the spiral beam, thereby adjusting its equivalent vertical stiffness. To elucidate the working mechanism of the SAMS, its band structure and equivalent analogy network are analyzed from infinite and finite periodic perspectives, respectively. From an electrical standpoint, the SAMS unit cell can be considered as a
