The low/ultra-low-frequency structural vibrations exist widely in some engineering structures, for example, aerospace, naval, and building structures and so on. They could seriously affect the working performance and even cause the destruction of these engineering structures. In order to restrain the low/ultra-low-frequency structural vibration, a locally resonant (LR) metastructure beam equipped with high-static–low-dynamic stiffness (HSLDS) resonators employing negative stiffness magnetic spring is proposed. The analytical model of magnetic negative stiffness spring is firstly derived and the design method of HSLDS resonators is presented based on parametric optimization. Then, the dynamic model of the LR metastructure beam with HSLDS resonators is established using the wave finite element method. The effects of the number of local resonator units on low-frequency band gap are analyzed. Finally, the low-frequency vibration control performance of LR metastructure beam is validated experimentally. The experimental result is in agreement with the theoretical analysis, which demonstrates that the HSLDS resonators are conductive to suppress vibration of the metastructure beam in the low-frequency region ( f < 10 Hz). The results also showed that the more the HSLDS resonators are used, the better the vibration suppression effect is.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
