Topology and parameter optimization of a dual-resonator metamaterial plate under asymmetric boundary conditions
摘要
This paper presents a framework for designing dual-resonator locally resonant metamaterials on a clamped–free–free–free (CFFF) cantilever aluminum plate. A modal superposition model is built using six mode shapes from ANSYS finite element analysis and validated against the spectral dynamic stiffness method (S-DSM) with less than 1.6% deviation. A genetic algorithm (GA) and a grey wolf optimizer (GWO) each optimize four continuous resonator parameters and a 100-cell binary topology, targeting vibration suppression in the 120–190 Hz band. The objective function includes a spillover penalty to discourage out-of-band amplification. At mass ratios of 10%, 15%, and 20%, both algorithms achieve over 92% RMS reduction in the target band but produce different designs: the GA places 8–16 light resonators in distributed layouts, while the GWO concentrates 3–7 heavier resonators at fewer locations.
