Band gap characteristics of friction stir additive manufactured phononic crystals

Abstract

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is widely used to fabricate phononic crystals (PnCs) in recent years. Friction Stir Additive Manufacturing (FSAM) is a new-type solid state fabrication technology which is fusion free with low distortions. FSAM was selected to fabricate the designed PnCs. The manufactured specimen was distorted due to the temperature rise in the manufacturing process and the band gaps (BGs) were changed with the distortions. Results indicate that the band gap of the PnCs moves to be in higher frequency domain due to the residual distortions of the manufactured PnCs. The residual distortion of FSAM PnCs is 2.77 times smaller in comparison with the Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding. So, the differences of the band gap between the designed PnCs and the FSAM specimen are only in the range of 0.15%- 0.55% due to the lower temperature rise in FSAM. The further analysis shows that the change of the BGs is caused by the growth of the inertia moment for the FSAM PnCs. With the increase of the rotating speed in FSAM, the residual distortion of the FSAM PnCs is increased due to the increase of the welding temperature. This can lead to the increase of the inertia moment, which is the key reason for the increase of the BG characteristics of the FSAM PnCs.

Deep learning of plausible bandgaps in dispersion curves of phononic crystals

“…Analyzing wave propagation in PCs presents numerous challenges, particularly when dealing with complex geometries. These materials, known for their periodic structure and unique ability to control mechanical wave propagation, are promising in applications ranging from vibration isolation to sound insulation and advanced sensing technologies [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. A crucial aspect of their study involves understanding their dispersion curves, which depict the relationship between frequency and wave vector for different modes of wave propagation.…”

Influence of coulomb damping on wave propagation behaviors of nonlinear nonconservative phononic chains/lattices

“…Their ability to stop the propagation of waves in certain frequencies, which is also known as 'stop-bands', has brought about numerous applications for PCs, including vibration attenuation [1], sound suppression [2,3], impact mitigation [4], energy harvesting [5] and waveguiding [6]. Changing the geometrical formation [7][8][9], material composition [10] or manufacturing process [11] of such structures, their wave attenuation properties can be modulated. This adds an extra layer of tunability to designing wave-attenuation devices and structures [12].…”

The simulation of microstructural evolutions in friction stir additive manufacturing

“…Friction Stir Welding (FSW) has been invented for more than three decades and quickly applied to the joining of many materials, [1][2][3][4][5] for example, aluminum alloys, [6][7][8][9][10][11] magnesium alloys, [11][12][13] steels, [14][15][16][17] titanium alloys, [18][19][20] and even dissimilar metals. [21][22][23][24][25][26] Based on FSW, different new processing technologies are developed, including friction stir processing, 27 friction stir spot welding, 28,29 friction stir additive manufacturing, [30][31][32] etc. Friction Stir Additive Manufacturing (FSAM) is a solid state technology.…”
