Quasi-zero-stiffness metamaterials for vibration stop: Mechanism, design and regulation
Jiaxi Zhou
Hunan University
Abstract: Metamaterials are a kind of artificial composite materials that exhibit physical properties not found in conventional materials in nature, such as vibration stop in a band gap. However, existing Bragg scattering and local resonance mechanisms cannot achieve low-frequency band gaps via small-size structures. Therefore, there are three major challenges facing vibration-stop metamaterials: how to overcome existing mechanisms to enable low-frequency band gaps, how to enable low-frequency band gaps in small sizes, and how to regulate low-frequency band gaps. To address these challenges, we firstly introduced negative stiffness into local resonators, developing a quasi-zero-stiffness local resonance mechanism that reduces the band gap frequency by at least one to two orders of magnitude. Secondly, we proposed an integrated design and fabrication method for quasi-zero-stiffness metamaterials and vibration-stop metastructures, achieving a low-frequency band gap at a magnitude of 10 Hz at the centimetre-scale unit cell level. Finally, we utilize the nonlinear characteristics and combined strategies such as magnetic control and temperature control to regulate the low-frequency vibration-stop band gap.
