Abstract
Metamaterials with low-frequency band gap have always been the focus of research. For this reason, many researchers have proposed many structural design schemes. In this paper, an innovative star-shaped hybrid metamaterial structure is proposed. Based on Bloch's theorem and finite element method, a dynamic model of the proposed structure is established, the band gap characteristics of the proposed structure are analyzed, and the generation mechanism of band gap is discussed with the mode shape of specific frequency. Then, the propagation characteristics of elastic wave in the proposed structure are analyzed by using the dispersion surface and group velocity images, and the attenuation region of vibration transmission in the finite periodic structure is consistent with the frequency range of band gap. Finally, the relationship between band gap and structure parameters is explored. The results show that the proposed structure has good band gap characteristics in the frequency range of 1000 Hz, the lowest frequency of band gap reaches 60.207 Hz, and the total band gap width accounts for 54.463%. This research opens up an ideological route for the design of low frequency metamaterial structures.
