Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of intelligent phononic crystal optimization design, in particular to a piezoelectric-viscoelastic phononic crystal topology optimization method based on a genetic algorithm, which adjusts material distribution through topology optimization design to maximize the absolute width of the first band gap, and is suitable for engineering fields such as vibration control and sound wave filtering. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a kind of artificially designed periodic composite material, the band gap characteristics of phononic crystals show important application value in the field of vibration control and noise suppression. The design of traditional phononic crystals mainly relies on the trial-and-error method, which optimizes the band gap performance by repeatedly adjusting the structural parameters. This method is not only inefficient, but also difficult to obtain a global optimal solution. Topology optimization design method has become an important technical means for improving the band gap performance of phononic crystals due to its high efficiency and flexibility in material distribution optimization. In addition, the traditional phononic crystal is difficult to meet the demand of elastic wave regulation due to its fixed band structure. In recent years, the introduction of smart materials has opened up a new path to solve this problem, but there are still some key problems to be solved.

[0003] In terms of optimization algorithm, the existing technology has made certain breakthroughs. Patent CN119358345 proposes a phononic crystal topology optimization method based on an improved genetic algorithm, which significantly improves the calculation efficiency by introducing a hash table to store the calculated band gap information. Patent CN116384138 proposes a phononic crystal topology optimization method with specific band gaps, which realizes the design of specific band gaps by establishing frequency band constraints and same-side frequency constraints expressions. However, these methods, although to some extent, improve the band gap optimization effect, still have obvious limitations. The optimization object is limited to a single material system, although the band gap is widened, but the dynamic adjustment of the band gap range cannot be realized. In terms of material design, patent CN101952882 uses the damping characteristics of viscoelastic materials to widen the band gap, although it achieves certain effect, but it does not have the ability of active regulation. The invention patent with publication number CN117912435 discloses a tunable band gap piezoelectric phononic crystal and its parameter optimization method, which realizes the regulation of band gap by adjusting the material thickness and electric field intensity. Although this method realizes the tunability of the band gap frequency, it only relies on a single electrical parameter adjustment, and uses the trial-and-error method for parameter optimization, which is not only inefficient, but also difficult to obtain a global optimal solution, resulting in a limited band gap adjustment range and difficulty in fully utilizing the performance potential of the material.

[0055] Further, in step 3, further comprising:

[0056] Step 34, solving the eigen-equation and band curve of the piezoelectric-viscoelastic phononic crystal rod;

[0057] When studying the piezoelectric-viscoelastic phononic crystal rod based on the standard linear solid model, it is necessary to solve the modulus expression of the viscoelastic material to replace the Young's modulus of the elastic material in the general framework;

[0058] The modulus of the viscoelastic material in the time domain is:

[0072] wherein, denotes the chromosome matrix, is the feasible region of material distribution; and are the n+1th and nth characteristic frequencies, respectively, which are functions of material distribution x and wave vector k, denotes the objective function;

[0073] The fitness value of the topological structure corresponding to each individual in the population is calculated, and the higher the fitness value, the better the topological structure represented by the individual, and the closer to the expected maximum band gap width.

[0074] The beneficial effects achieved by the present application are:​​

[0075] The present application significantly widens the absolute width of the first band gap of the structure by introducing viscoelastic material and piezoelectric material into the topological optimization design of phononic crystal rods. In the optimization process, the absolute width of the first band gap is maximized as the objective function, and variables such as material distribution, viscoelastic parameters, and electric boundary conditions of the piezoelectric phase are comprehensively considered, and an optimization model based on an improved genetic algorithm is established. The improved genetic algorithm effectively improves the optimization efficiency and stability by introducing the elite reservation strategy. The numerical simulation results show that the optimized piezoelectric-viscoelastic phononic crystal rod exhibits excellent band gap characteristics, and the absolute width of the first band gap is significantly improved compared with the traditional design.

[0076] In addition, the electric boundary conditions (including short circuit and open circuit conditions) applied to the piezoelectric material have a significant regulating effect on the band gap characteristics. In view of this feature, the optimization process systematically investigates the variation of the band gap characteristics under different electric boundary conditions, and accordingly adjusts the optimization strategy, further improving the optimization effect. The optimized structure realizes effective suppression of elastic wave propagation in a specific frequency range, which provides a new solution for vibration control and noise isolation in engineering applications.

However, these examples are only exemplary and do not constitute any limitation on the scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art should understand that the details and forms of the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and such modifications and replacements all fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0086] As shown in Figure 1 , the present application provides a piezoelectric-viscoelastic phononic crystal topology optimization method based on genetic algorithm. The method drives material distribution optimization through genetic algorithm, combines the special performance of piezoelectric-viscoelastic composite material, and finally obtains a phononic crystal structure with excellent band gap characteristics. The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0087] Step 1: Set parameters and establish a model

[0088] Taking a one-dimensional piezoelectric-viscoelastic phononic crystal rod as shown in Figure 2 , this embodiment selects PZT-7A piezoelectric ceramic and epoxy resin as viscoelastic material to construct a one-dimensional phononic crystal rod, and the specific parameters are shown in Table 1.

[0091] is the vacuum dielectric constant.

[0092] Step 2: Population coding.

[0093] According to the phononic crystal unit size in step 1, the phononic crystal rod is discretized into 30 phononic crystal rod units, each of which corresponds to a gene site. In order to facilitate subsequent genetic operation optimization of material distribution, binary coding is used to represent material configuration, "0" represents that the unit is viscoelastic material, and "1" represents that the unit is piezoelectric material. The specific coding rules are as follows:

[0094]

[0095] wherein, and is the feasible region of the distribution of viscoelastic material A and piezoelectric material B, is the total number of units. Each represents a gene site, which is composed of all The matrix composed of all is a chromosome, representing a phononic crystal rod topology structure.

[0096] Step 3: Calculate the band curve of the initial structure using the finite element method.

[0097] In order to ensure population diversity, the initial structure before optimization is determined by a randomly generated binary coding matrix. After calculating the objective function using the finite element method to solve the band curve of the initial structure, genetic optimization design is carried out based on the calculation results. During the calculation process, the actual material properties of each unit are mapped to the finite element model by the density interpolation method combined with the coding value of the x matrix in step 2 , and the interpolation formula is as follows:

[0098]

[0099] wherein, and are the interpolated Young's modulus matrix and density matrix, respectively, , are the actual material parameters of the viscoelastic material, , are the actual material parameters of the piezoelectric material, is a chromosome matrix.

[0100] Based on the above material property mapping method, the property and mechanical behavior description logic of the phononic crystal rod unit are further clarified: each phononic crystal rod unit contains two nodes, and its material properties (density, Young's modulus, piezoelectric constant, relative dielectric constant) can be determined according to the coding value of step 2. For a one-dimensional phononic crystal rod composed of piezoelectric material and elastic material alternately, due to the existence of electromechanical coupling effect, its mechanical behavior needs to be described by coupling field equations. The derivation process is as follows:

[0101] Step 31, constitutive relation and basic equation

[0102] The constitutive relation matrix of linear piezoelectric material is expressed as:

[0103]

[0104] where, is the elastic matrix under constant electric field, is the piezoelectric stress constant matrix, is the dielectric constant matrix, and are stress and strain tensors, and electric displacement and electric field intensity vector, , is the spatial coordinate along the length direction of the rod; is the electric potential; under the condition of no free charge, the electric displacement satisfies the Gauss law: .

[0105] According to Newton's second law, the balance equation is established:

[0106]

[0107] The constitutive equation is brought into the balance equation, and the following equation is obtained:

[0108]

[0109] where, is the displacement field variable, is the displacement , is the spatial coordinate along the length direction of the rod.

[0110] Step 32, boundary conditions and interpolation functions

[0111] The phononic crystal is a periodic structure, and the left and right boundaries of its unit cell satisfy the Bloch periodic boundary condition:

[0112]

[0113] is the unit cell length, is the wave vector, is the spatial coordinate along the length direction of the rod. Inside the unit, the displacement and the electric potential are expressed by linear function interpolation:

[0114]

[0115] Let the unit length be , and the shape function Can be expressed as:

[0116]

[0117] Thus, the strain Can be expressed by the shape function as:

[0118]

[0119] Noted as: Where

[0120]

[0121] Similarly, the electric field .

[0122] Step 33, characteristic equation and band curve solving framework

[0123] Based on the above equation, according to the principle of minimum potential energy, the electromechanical coupling problem can be simplified to an eigenvalue problem, and the characteristic equation of the unit is:

[0124]

[0125] Wherein, the expression of the unit stiffness matrix and the unit mass matrix is as follows:

[0126]

[0127]

[0128]

[0129]

[0130] Assemble the global stiffness matrix and the mass matrix, and the final global generalized characteristic equation expression can be obtained:

[0131]

[0132] Wherein, And The displacement matrix and the electric potential matrix of the unit node are respectively, The mechanical stiffness matrix is, The piezoelectric coupling stiffness matrix is, The dielectric stiffness matrix is, The mass matrix is, The characteristic frequency is, The wave vector is. By scanning the wave vector of the first irreducible Brillouin zone and solve the above global generalized eigen-equation, the band structure curve of the piezoelectric phononic crystal rod can be obtained. This method is a general framework for solving the band structure curve of the phononic crystal rod, and the subsequent solution of the piezoelectric-viscoelastic system needs to adjust the material parameters based on this framework.

[0133] Step 34, eigen-equation and band structure curve solving of piezoelectric-viscoelastic phononic crystal rod

[0134] When studying piezoelectric-viscoelastic phononic crystal rods based on the standard linear solid model, the modulus expression of viscoelastic material needs to be solved to replace the Young's modulus of elastic material in the general framework. The specific process is as follows:

[0135] The modulus of viscoelastic material in the time domain is:

[0136]

[0137] where, is the initial modulus, is the relaxation modulus, which can be obtained according to the modulus ratio provided in step 1 solving, is the relaxation time, t represents time. By Fourier transform, the constitutive relation in the time domain is converted to the frequency domain:

[0138]

[0139] Further, the complex modulus expression is obtained:

[0140]

[0141] In order to more clearly understand the mechanical behavior of the material, it is separated into real and imaginary parts, i.e.:

[0142]

[0143] is the storage modulus, which characterizes the ability of the material to store elastic strain energy, is the loss modulus, which reflects the viscosity loss of the material. After introducing the viscoelastic material, the Young's modulus of the material changes, so when studying the piezoelectric-viscoelastic phononic crystal, the complex modulus of the viscoelastic material is replaced by the original Young's modulus of the elastic material, and is substituted into the final eigen-equation. The band structure curve of the piezoelectric-viscoelastic phononic crystal rod can be obtained by solving the eigenvalue problem using the same wave vector scanning method ( ).

[0144] Step 35, band gap value calculation

[0145] The band gap value can be solved according to the band curve obtained by the above method. The band gap is defined as the width of the non-overlapping frequency interval between adjacent energy bands in the band curve, and the expression is:

[0146]

[0147] wherein, is the band gap value, and are the first and second characteristic frequencies, respectively, and the second characteristic frequency, is the chromatic matrix representing the material distribution variable, is the wave vector.

[0148] In order to study the influence of piezoelectric properties and viscoelastic properties on the band curve, Figure 2 The band characteristics of the piezoelectric-elastic rod and the piezoelectric-viscoelastic rod under open circuit and short circuit two kinds of electrical boundary conditions are compared. Under the open circuit boundary condition, the first band gap and the second band gap width of the piezoelectric-elastic phononic crystal rod are 14.15 kHz and 16.73 kHz, respectively. After introducing the viscoelastic properties, the first band gap width becomes 13.37 kHz, and the second band gap width becomes 17.91 kHz. Under the short circuit boundary condition, the first band gap and the second band gap width of the elastic case are 13.90 kHz and 14.85 kHz, respectively. In the viscoelastic case, the first band gap width is 13.20 kHz, and the second band gap width is 16.64 kHz. The analysis shows that the addition of viscoelastic material changes the complex modulus characteristics of the material, which makes the frequency range of the three energy bands move to the low frequency direction as a whole, and the frequency shift of the first and second energy bands is particularly significant. This change directly leads to the significant widening of the second band gap. At the same time, under different electrical boundary conditions, the band curves of the piezoelectric-viscoelastic phononic crystal rod and the piezoelectric-elastic phononic crystal rod are changed, and the band gap range under the short circuit boundary condition is smaller than that under the open circuit condition. The change rule of the band curve under different electrical boundary conditions confirms the important regulation effect of the electrical boundary condition on the band gap characteristics of the phononic crystal.

[0149] Step 4: Evaluate fitness.

[0150] The larger the band gap range, the wider the sound wave frequency band that can be isolated by the phononic crystal. Therefore, the maximum absolute band gap width is taken as the objective function. According to the band gap value solving method in step 3, the absolute width of the first band gap is defined as the fitness function, that is, the upper boundary frequency of the first band gap minus the lower boundary frequency. According to the fitness function, the expression of the following objective function can be obtained:

[0151]

[0152] ​​​

[0153] wherein, represents a material distribution variable, is a feasible region of the material distribution; and are the first and second order eigenfrequencies, respectively, which are functions of the material distribution variable and wave vector . In this example, the first bandgap of the structure is chosen as the fitness function. The fitness value of the topological structure corresponding to each individual in the population is calculated, and the higher the fitness value, the better the topological structure represented by the individual, and the closer it is to the goal of maximizing the bandgap width we expect.

[0154] Step 5: Determine whether to converge.

[0155] After the target function calculation is completed, the next step of operation needs to be determined according to the convergence condition. When the number of iterations reaches the optimization iteration number set in step 1, the convergence condition is met, the algorithm ends the loop, and the topological structure represented by the current optimal individual is output; if the number of iterations does not reach the set value, the genetic operation of step 6 is continued to produce new offspring, and steps 3 to calculate the energy band curve, step 4 to evaluate the fitness, etc. are repeated until the convergence condition is met.

[0156] Step 6: Genetic operation.

[0157] When step 5 does not meet the convergence condition, the genetic operation is performed. Genetic algorithm is an intelligent optimization algorithm that simulates the natural selection and genetic mechanism in biological evolution, and its core idea is to iteratively optimize the individual genes in the population through selection, crossover and mutation operations. In the individual selection stage, the roulette wheel selection mechanism based on the fitness value is adopted, and the probability of an individual being selected is proportional to its fitness value calculated in step 4, ensuring that high-quality individuals have a greater chance of entering the next generation. To maintain population diversity and avoid loss of good genes, an elite preservation strategy is implemented, and the individual with the highest fitness in the current population is directly preserved to the next generation, and this individual does not participate in the crossover and mutation operations. The single-point crossover method is used for crossover operation, and two parent individuals are randomly selected and a crossover site is randomly determined on their chromosomes, and the gene segments after the crossover site are exchanged to generate new individuals. The mutation operation randomly flips the gene bit state on the chromosome with a preset probability of 0.05, i.e. changing "0" to "1" or "1" to "0", and the mutation operation prevents the algorithm from falling into a local optimal solution by introducing new gene mutations.

[0158] Step 7: Extract the optimal solution and verify the accuracy of the result calculation.

[0159] After the completion of the above-mentioned all optimization processes, the individual with the highest fitness is selected from the set of historical optimal individuals, and the corresponding material distribution is the final optimization result. The finite element method is used to independently verify the optimal solution, draw the energy band structure curve, compare the target function value with the theoretical calculation result, and evaluate the optimization effect.

[0160] The optimization result is shown in Figures 4 to 7 , and Figure 4 and Figure 5 are respectively the structure diagram and the energy band curve diagram of the piezoelectric-viscoelastic phononic crystal rod before and after optimization under open circuit condition. It can be seen that in the randomly generated structure before optimization, the two materials are discretely distributed, and the corresponding band gap is narrow, and the first band gap width is only 5.53 kHz. After optimization, the structure tends to be continuous distribution, and presents the distribution form of piezoelectric material wrapping viscoelastic material, which leads to the obvious change of the energy band curve, and the band gap width after optimization is greatly widened to 25.40 kHz, with an increase of 359.3%. Figure 6 and Figure 7 are respectively the structure diagram and the energy band curve diagram of the piezoelectric-viscoelastic phononic crystal rod before and after optimization under short circuit condition. Similar rules are also observed under short circuit condition, and the material distribution of the structure before optimization is discrete, and the band gap width is only 4.28 kHz. After optimization, the structure still presents the "sandwich" distribution of piezoelectric material at both ends and viscoelastic material in the middle, and the band gap is widened to 21.47 kHz, with an increase of 401.6%. As can be seen from the above, the optimization effect under open circuit condition is generally better than that under short circuit condition, because the stronger electromechanical coupling effect under open circuit is more conducive to the widening of the band gap. The optimized structure all presents the "sandwich" feature-piezoelectric phase is distributed at both ends of the structure unit, and the middle layer is composed of viscoelastic phase, and this structure effectively improves the performance of the phononic crystal rod in inhibiting the propagation of elastic waves in a specific frequency band.
