It can then be used for the understanding and modelling of more complicated nonlinear phenomena, <em>e.g.</em> turbulence and fluid instabilities. In compressible fluids these theories generally rely on the ideal gas assumption. This article theoretically examines the fluctuations in a non-ideal compressible fluid, utilizing the Navier–Stokes–Fourier model, with an arbitrary equation of state. The linearized governing system is deduced, thereafter elucidating the amplification or attenuation of fluctuations through an analysis of energy disturbance, extending the framework established by Chu (Chu, 1965) to encompass arbitrary non-ideal compressible fluids. It is demonstrated that the proposed disturbance energy embodies the same advantageous properties as Chu’s ideal-gas one. The study of the time evolution of the disturbance energy then allows to derive a simple stability criteria generalizing the Rayleigh criterion (Rayleigh, 1878) to steady and non-uniform flows of non-ideal compressible fluids. Similar to the Rayleigh criterion, this criterion offers novel physical insights into the amplification or attenuation of arbitrary fluctuations within non-ideal compressible fluids. Moreover, the present work represents an advancement attempting to extend classical findings derived under the ideal gas assumption to integrate alternative equations of state. The analysis and equations derived are expected to allow improvements in both the understanding and modelling of disturbances in non-ideal compressible fluids.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17233,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sound and Vibration","volume":"620 ","pages":"Article 119471"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145221016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The wave field generated by a point load at the soil’s surface represents environmental ground vibration. The transmitted power is quantified by the power flow through an auxiliary plane behind the metasurface. The integrated power flow over a range of frequencies is minimized in an optimization problem, providing a global metric of the metasurface’s effectiveness. An adjoint formulation is developed to efficiently compute gradients. Initially, each row of resonators is optimized. Subsequently, individual resonators are tuned to explore the trade-off between design complexity and performance. The optimized metasurfaces are benchmarked against a conventional inverse metawedge with graded resonance frequencies and uniform mass. The algorithm yields a non-uniform mass distribution at the total mass limit, achieving enhanced vibration mitigation. The optimization is particularly beneficial in layered soil where the wave propagation pattern is more complex.

The key novelties of this work are: (i) the introduction of damping into the impedance formulation, leading to a generalized impedance framework for damped discrete IANMNS systems, and (ii) a detailed characterization of energy distribution, i.e., kinetic, potential, and dissipative, within finite chains across both propagation and attenuation bands. The results demonstrate that in the attenuation band, energy is strongly localized and the transmission is suppressed by several orders of magnitude relative to the propagation band. Furthermore, the validity of the proposed impedance formulation is confirmed through spatiotemporal simulations, which illustrate the absence of spurious reflections at impedance-applied boundaries.

Numerical simulations and experimental results consistently demonstrate that the lens supports broadband flexural wave self-focusing and stable wavefront bending.

Closed-form expressions for both linear and nonlinear resonance frequencies are derived using the method of multiple scales and validated through finite element method simulations and numerical analyses. Time histories, Campbell diagrams, fast Fourier transforms, and Poincaré maps highlight the significant influence of material gradation and porosity on dynamic behavior. Nonlinear resonance frequencies exceed their linear counterparts and are highly sensitive to initial conditions, porosity levels, and multiporous functionally graded disks. Variations in gradient indices and porosity imperfections significantly affect stiffness, mass distribution, and modal parameters. Increasing the grading index lowers nonlinear resonance frequencies, with non-uniform grading accelerating this shift, while radial and localized porosity imperfections further reduce resonance frequencies and alter their trends. Replacing a thin disk with a thick disk significantly modifies system stiffness and modal properties, strengthening gyroscopic effects and lowering critical speeds.

In the case of high-dimensional problems with multiple uncertain parameters to be estimated, the evaluation of the full posterior distribution may not be feasible due to computational hurdles. In addition, when model updating is performed based on experimental field data (as opposed to virtual experiments), the solution is usually not unique. A novel approach is presented that addresses these challenges in a two-step procedure, where Subset Simulation is employed to identify the most probable point, and additional Markov chains are used to find possible additional solutions in regions not explored by Subset Simulation in the sparsely populated simulation space.

To address the analytical challenges, this work uses symmetry methods to provide exact solutions for rods with nonuniform geometries made of functionally-graded materials and modeled according to the elementary rod theory for slender structures undergoing longitudinal or torsional vibrations. Solutions originate from classification via equivalence transformations, aided by nonlocal transformations, which rewrite initial and boundary value problems for the rod’s elastodynamics equation as equivalent ones for a constant-coefficient wave equation. The equivalent problem allows for expressing exact solutions in terms of traveling waves, but restricts the extent of suitable geometric and material parameters.
