Abstract Metamaterials with inertial amplification components exhibit unique bandgap behaviors which can be utilized on the vibration suppression of mechanical structures. In this study, novel cantilever-type inertial amplification mechanisms are periodically attached to the stiffened composite plate to realize the low-frequency bandgaps and vibration suppression. This type of metamaterial mitigates the vibration by amplifying the inertia of the added small mass, which has great application potential in many industrial scenes. For the sake of the efficient calculations, a semi-analytical method based on the energy generalized variational principle is promoted, which can predict the bandgap behaviors and… More >
