Abstract
The periodic laminates made of hard-magnetic soft materials (HMSMs) have recently received increasing attention due to their tunable phononic bandgap characteristics—ranges of frequencies at which sound and vibrations cannot propagate, which can be controlled remotely through magnetically induced finite deformations. In this work, we present a gradient-based topology optimization framework for determining the optimum distribution of laminate phases to optimize the anti-plane shear wave (SH wave) bandgap characteristics. In particular, by employing the method of moving asymptotes (MMA), we maximize the bandgap width when the laminate is subjected to external magnetic fields. The Gent material model of hyperelasticity, in conjunction with the ideal HMSMs model, is used to describe the constitutive response of the laminate phases. To extract the band structure of the hard-magnetic soft laminate, we employ an in-house finite element model. To demonstrate the capability of the developed numerical framework, a parametric study exploring the effect of the applied external magnetic field on the optimized bandgap characteristics and the design of the periodic laminated composite unit cell is presented. The optimization framework presented in this study will be helpful in the design and development of futuristic tunable wave manipulators.
期刊介绍:
The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.
The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.
