Abstract Details

2018, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Akron, Mechanical Engineering.
Acoustic/Elastic metamaterials have attracted increased attention in recent times. Metamaterials are defined as special materials that exhibit unusual properties not normally found in normal materials. These unusual properties are derived from the specially designed microstructures rather than the chemical composition of the material. Based on the concept of locally resonant metamaterials, these materials are applied in many applications such as impact wave attenuation, blast wave mitigation and wave control and manipulation due to their flexibility and tailoring properties for various needed applications. In this thesis, we present the development of a dissipative elastic metamaterial with multiple Maxwell-type resonators for dynamic load mitigation. Besides the wave attenuation of dynamic loads, we also investigate the asymmetric transmission of elastic waves which has recently been realized by linear structures. We design and propose different diatomic and triatomic elastic metamaterials to obtain large asymmetric elastic wave transmission in multiple low-frequency bands. All these frequency bands can be theoretically predicted to realize one-way wave propagation along different directions of transmission. All proposed models in this research are analytically investigated and numerically verified by both analytical lattice and continuum models. Also, the dynamic responses of the proposed models are explored and analyzed in time and frequency domains. The effect of damping on the proposed models is also investigated for more practical applications. Lastly, experimental verification is further conducted to observe wave asymmetric transmission bands and transient wave responses in time and frequency domains are also explored.
