Abstract:
Periodic structures are an important form of constructing structures in natural and human engineering. The Bloch modulation caused by translational symmetry gives them unique band structures and rich time/frequency domain dynamic characteristics, providing new avenues for elastic/acoustic wave propagation regulation, novel wave-based functional device design, vibration and noise control, etc. Nonlinear effects can break through the constraints of linear theoretical frameworks and can enhance or even expand the functions of artificial periodic structures. However, nonlinear periodic systems have many difficulties in unit cell design and modeling analysis. They also face key scientific problems such as the broken of space-time invariance, the complexity of nonlinear response characteristics and mechanisms, which brings challenge to the dynamic design and practical application of nonlinear periodic structures. In response to the above problems, scholars have carried out some fruitful research by integrating multidisciplinary research methods in fileds such as mechanics, acoustics, materials science and band physics. This article aims to timely summarize the important research progress concerning about wave dynamics and control in nonlinear periodic structures, sort out the shortcomings and key problems, gather strength and promote the in-depth development of this field. First, the sources of nonlinear effects of periodic structures, unit cell structure design methods, and nonlinear dynamics modeling and analysis methods are summarized. Then, the main characteristics of nonlinear periodic structures in terms of passband, bandgap, and local energy confinement are reviewed, and the rich dynamic phenomena such as amplitude-induced band shift, wave mode coupling, low-frequency broadband bandgap, and spatial confinement of wave modes in the bandgap caused by nonlinearity are introduced. Some application explorations of nonlinear periodic structures in wave control devices, vibration and noise reduction are sorted out. Finally, in view of some shortcomings and key problems in existing research, several development directions that need special attention in future theoretical research and application exploration are prospected.
