Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of Flexural Wave Propagating in a Periodic Pipe with Fluid-Filled Loading

Based on the Bragg scattering mechanism of phononic crystals (PCs), a periodic composite material pipe with fluid loading is designed and studied. The band structure of the flexural wave in the periodic pipe is calculated with the transfer matrix (TM) method. A periodic piping experimental system is designed, and the vibration experiment is performed to validate the attenuation ability of the periodic pipe structure. Finally, a finite-element pipe model is constructed using the MSC-Actran software, and the calculated results match well with the vibration experiment. The errors between the theoretical calculation results and the vibration experimental results are analyzed.
