| Abstract: |
In this paper, the response characteristics of wave propagation in entangled metallic wire materials (EMWMs) are investigated by acoustic emission. The frequency, amplitude of wave emission, and the pre-compression force of the specimen can be adjusted in the experimental setup. EMWM specimens fabricated from stainless steel wires and with different design parameters are tested in this work. The results show that waves of different amplitudes propagate in EMWMs with approximate linear characteristics and the fluctuation coefficient of wave passing ratios is calculated below 15%. The response spectrum of passing waves shows a distinct single-peak characteristic, with the peak response at approximately 14 kHz. The parameters of pre-compression force, porosity, wire diameter, helix diameter, specimen height, and the layered structure of specimens have no significant effect on the frequency characteristics but moderately affect the wave passing ratios. Notably, EMWMs exhibit a lower wave passing ratio (ranging from 0.01 to 0.18) compared to aluminum alloy and natural rubber. The characteristics of response spectrums can be successfully reproduced by the finite element simulation. This work demonstrates EMWMs’ potential as an acoustic frequency vibration isolation material, offering excellent performance and engineering design convenience. |
