In recent years, metamaterials are increasingly used in the field of vibration mitigation due to the unique potential these offer. Periodic placement of appropriately designed resonators, the so-called unit cells, has been shown to arrest the propagation of vibration within a specific frequency range, thus resulting in formation of a bandgap. In rendering metastructures efficient, the breadth of the bandgap should be maximized, while for application in structures, it is also necessary to shift the lower limit of the gap to lower frequencies. One potential solution to this direction is the use of nonlinearity at the unit cell scale. In this direction, the current study investigates finite lattice configurations, which consist of impact damper unit cells. The effectiveness of impact dampers in vibration attenuation has been successfully illustrated in limited degree of freedom systems, and is here extended for use in the metastructure sense, i.e., for multiple degree of freedom systems. For this purpose, a one dimensional lattice of a finite number of unit cells is considered. In order to study and better asses the behaviour of the configuration, variable parameters are taken into account, including the number of unit cells, stiffness and mass ratio, while a comparison to a conventional linear oscillator is further offered. For the evaluation of the system performance, several criteria are utilized, including the oscillation amplitude as well as the energy absorption from the primary system as a result of the individual impacts. The obtained results clearly indicate the ability of impact-based meta-structures to successfully contribute to vibration mitigation under appropriate design.
