Research on Locally Resonant Characteristics of Pipelines with Periodic Structure.

In this paper, the propagation characteristics of vibration waves in periodic pipelines were studied based on the band theory of phononic crystals, and we analyzed the influence of the geometrical structure parameters on the band gap characteristics of pipelines. The results show that, by increasing the number of layers of local resonant structure, both the initial frequency and the cutoff frequency of the band gap moved towards the lower frequency, while the width of the system band gap increased by 35 Hz, and the damping effect increased by 18.3 dB. By changing the thickness of the wall of the pipeline system, the width of the system band gap increased by 20 Hz, and the damping effect increased by 9.1 dB. The maximum vibration isolation of the offshore platform truss based on the periodic structure can be up to 7.93 dB. Therefore, it is feasible to apply the local resonant periodic structure to the vibration control of a practical offshore platform.
