A periodic binary straight beam with different cross sections is constructed and studied. The band structures of flexural waves in the structure are calculated with the plane-wave expansion method and the vibration attenuation spectra of a finite sample of it are calculated with the finite element method. Vibration experiment is performed in order to validate all the theoretical results, and the results match mainly. Finally, a vibration isolation structure is designed by using the feature of the flexural wave band gaps of the beam with periodic structure, which provides an attenuation of about 30dB in the frequency range of the band gaps.
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.
