Abstract:Objective
Periodic configuration of mechanical and civil structures has shown great potential for noise and vibration reduction. However, the use of Cartesian coordinates in studying periodicity effects in elastic structures overlooks the benefits of radially periodic configurations when dealing with wave propagation in large flexible plates disturbed by a small source area. This paper presents an easy-to-use numerical approach to predicting bandgap characteristics in polar coordinates.
