Anisotropic phononic crystal structure with low-frequency bandgap and heat flux manipulation

Abstract: This study presents a two-dimensional phononic crystal with heat flux manipulation and wide bandgaps of out-of-plane modes within the low-frequency range. The anisotropic matrix made of spiral-multilayered materials with different thermal conductivities, and the coating layer inserted with metal are designed for heat flux manipulation. Rubber-coated metal cylinders are periodically embedded in the anisotropic matrix to obtain the low-frequency bandgaps of out-of-plane modes. Numerical simulation is carried out to validate the heat and elastic characteristics of the spiral-multilayered anisotropic structure and reveal the effects of the laying angle and temperature on the bandgaps. Subsequently, a spiral-multilayered plate with periodic structures is studied, which shows an obvious vibration attenuation in the frequency ranges of the bandgaps and a deflected heat flux from the initial propagation direction. In the experimental investigation, the multi-phase spiral-multilayered anisotropic plate is simplified to a single-phase anisotropic plate made of aluminum. The characteristics of this type of anisotropic phononic crystal structure may pave the way for the design of a new kind of thermo-acoustic metamaterial serving in combined thermal and acoustic environments.

Stress evolution in top coat of thermal barrier coatings by considering strength difference property in tension and compression

Abstract: The experimental research shows that ceramic top coat (TC) exhibits obvious strength difference (SD) in tension and compression, called SD property. This property significantly affect stress evolution, however, there are few attentions to it. In this paper, the stress evolution in TC layer is investigated by considering SD property. To reflect its property, a return mapping algorithm model for unified strength theory (UST), proposed by us, is applied. The results reveal that SD property leads to the movement of maximum tensile stress from interface to the position above it. It suggests that the crack might not be directly initiated at interface but above it, which has been reported in experimental studies too. The results also reveal that the possibility of above-interface cracking could be increased by varying the material properties, such as elevating compressive-tensile strength ratio and reducing yield strength of TC, and by changing the coating geometries, such as thickening thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer and increasing TC interfacial amplitude-wavelength ratio.

Structural topology optimization on sound radiation at resonance frequencies in thermal environments

Abstract: Thermal and acoustic environments pose severe challenges to the structural design of hypersonic vehicles. One of them is to find optimal design that exhibits ideal acoustic characteristics in a frequency band, which is discussed in this paper through topology optimization aiming at resonance sound radiation in thermal environments. The sound radiation at resonance frequencies is the main component of response, minimization on which is likely to provide a satisfactory design. A bi-material plate subjected to uniform temperature rise and excited by harmonic loading is studied here. Thermal stress is first evaluated and considered as pre stress in the following dynamic analysis; radiated sound power is then calculated through Rayleigh integral. Sensitivity analysis is carried out through adjoint method considering the complicated relationship between stress-induced geometric stiffness and design variables. As the resonance frequency is constantly changing during the optimization, its sensitivity should be considered. It is also noticed that mode switching may occur, so mode tracking technique is employed in this work. Some numerical examples are finally discussed.
