However, their practical application remains constrained by two persistent challenges: the difficulty in achieving simultaneous low-frequency and broadband vibration attenuation, and the lack of effective strategies for directional band gap (BG) design. Inspired by metamaterial concepts, this study presents a hierarchical pipeline meta structure composed of periodically arranged lattices. Each lattice incorporates a pair of oppositely oriented sub-lattices with acoustic black hole (ABH) geometries. Through mechanical modeling based on Timoshenko beam theory and semi-analytical solutions combining the spectral element method (SEM) with the transfer matrix method (TMM), the dynamic characteristics including natural frequencies, frequency responses, and BGs are systematically investigated. The results demonstrate that the band gap (BG) width not only determines the vibration suppression frequency range but also exhibits a positive correlation with attenuation effectiveness. An increase in the flow velocity of the conveyed fluid adversely affects the stability of the pipeline meta structure. However, within the critical flow velocity range, its impact on the BGs remains negligible. Furthermore, BG characteristics are simultaneously governed by sublattice configuration and ABH geometric parameters. Specifically, asymmetric lattice designs incorporating different materials or geometric configurations facilitate broadband BG formation. The ABH parameters offer precise tunability: increasing the power-law exponent induces a low-frequency shift of the BGs, whereas enlarging the maximum outer diameter effectively broadens the BGs’ bandwidth. These findings present a promising strategy for overcoming current limitations in periodic pipeline applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50980,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematical Modelling","volume":"156 ","pages":"Article 116818"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146134737","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 proposed physical constraint is then embedded into the main network, leading to the proposed model that integrates the efficiency of a deep learning network and the accuracy of physical constraints for flow state prediction. Moreover, a novel learning strategy is proposed to learn turbulence fluctuations at high frequencies and improve the training efficiency of the proposed model. Results on five self-affine fractal images and two turbulence cases demonstrate that the proposed model has achieved a threefold higher efficiency and 40 times improvement in prediction accuracy compared to the purely data-driven methods. Particularly in reconstructing physical quantities, such as the energy spectra and probability density functions of flow fields, the proposed model achieves up to a hundredfold improvement in accuracy.

The model introduces group boundary fluidity and mutual assistance frequency, with interaction frequency serving as the key channel linking local and global cooperation. Analytical and simulation results show that higher interaction frequency, greater boundary fluidity, and stronger mutual assistance benefits significantly enhance global cooperation. Enlarging local group size generally promotes cooperation, though under low mobility and weak assistance, it may instead hinder global cooperation.

A dynamic model of a continuous rigid-flexible system that considers the geometric nonlinearity of the space net is established. Furthermore, to account for the low-frequency vibration characteristics and locally fixed boundary conditions of the space net, two sets of vibration displacement functions for its in-plane and out-of-plane vibrations are proposed to discretize the continuous system.
