Design of a metastructure for vibration isolation with quasi-zero-stiffness characteristics using bistable curved beam

Srajan Dalela et al.

Summary: This paper introduces a metastructure-based vibration isolation model with high static and low dynamic stiffness properties to enhance isolation effectiveness of small-scale equipment under low-frequency excitations. The quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) effect is achieved through the snap-through behavior of cosine beam systems and bending-dominated behavior of semicircular arches within each unit cell. Analytical and numerical studies as well as experimental validation confirm the static and dynamic characteristics of the proposed metastructure, showing lower transmissibility and wider isolation range compared to a linear model. The parametric study reveals that motion transmissibility decreases with decreasing damping ratio in the low-frequency region, while increasing damping ratio leads to wider effective isolation range. Stability analysis shows the unstable region in the frequency response curve reduces with higher damping ratio and is independent of excitation amplitude.

Design and elastic mechanical response of a novel 3D-printed hexa-chiral helical structure with negative Poisson's ratio

Chongxi Jiao et al.

Summary: This paper presents a novel 3D hexa-chiral helical structure design with negative Poisson's ratio, investigated its mechanical behaviors through experimental, theoretical, and numerical methods, and explored the relationship between geometric parameters and structural properties. The study used quasi-static compression tests and finite element simulation to analyze the relationship between geometric parameters and elastic mechanical properties, with good agreement between experimental and simulation results. The special coupled compression-torsion deformation mode and extension effect of the structure in a larger space were also discussed, providing insights for further optimizing geometric design for customized structural performance.

Merging Bragg and Local Resonance Bandgaps in Perforated Elastic Metamaterials with Embedded Spiral Holes

Xiangyu Tian et al.

Summary: Perforated elastic metamaterials (EMMs) consisting of periodic holes have gained attention for their simple fabrication and unique physical properties. A novel type of perforated EMMs with two bandgap formation mechanisms has been proposed for low-frequency and broadband wave attenuation. Experiments and numerical analyses demonstrate that this design can create multiple bandgaps in the sub-wavelength frequency domain, including two Bragg bandgaps with a 76% reduced frequency, two overlapping bandgaps dominated by local resonance, and two deaf bands.
