Predicting the Stop-Bands of Fluid-Filled Metamaterials with Periodic Liquid Dampers
摘要
This paper investigates the formation of band gaps in fluid-filled structures with periodic liquid dampers. A simplified mechanical model is employed to approximate the sloshing dynamics and is integrated into a host structure. The vibration attenuation capabilities of the structure are evaluated applying the Floquet-Bloch theory to the dynamic stiffness matrix of the periodic cell. The results reveal the coexistence of low-frequency local resonance band gaps and high-frequency Bragg-type band gaps. A parametric study highlights the role of fluid depth and cell geometry in tuning the band gap characteristics.
