Description
Summary:Flexural edge waves in a Kirchhoff plate, carrying periodically spaced spring–mass​ resonators at its edge and laid on a Winkler foundation, are considered. A spectral element method is applied on a representative unit cell to develop the dynamic stiffness matrix of the structure. In light of structural periodicity, Bloch wave theorem is used to derive a quadratic eigenvalue problem of the wave propagation constants, which are numerically solved for. Frequency bands are analyzed using the attenuation and phase constants. Two types of bandgaps are identified: one is attributed to the existence of attached resonators and the other is due to the fact that these resonators are arranged periodically. It is found that these bandgaps are influenced by the value of the resonator’s natural frequency and the stiffness of the elastic foundation. The analytically realized bandgap structures agree very well with the finite-element obtained dispersion curves by COMSOL.
