Abstract
Herein, a novel star‐shaped hybrid acoustic metamaterial structure is proposed. Based on Bloch's theorem and the finite element method, the bandgap characteristics and the bandgap formation mechanism of different combinations of structures are first analyzed. Then, the propagation characteristics of elastic waves in Model C2 are studied with focus on equal frequency contours, phase velocity, and group velocity. And the attenuation of elastic waves in the finite size structure of Model C2 illustrates that the elastic waves are effectively suppressed in the bandgap frequency range, which further confirms the perfect correspondence between the bandgap and the vibration attenuation region. Finally, the influence of structural parameters on the bandgap is analyzed, as well as the change of the bandgap when the structure undergoes large deformation, which can realize the tunability and flexibility of the bandgap. This study provides important clues for the design of vibration isolators and metamaterials, and shows the good engineering application potential of the structure for vibration isolation.
