A Generalized Shape Function for Vibration Suppression Analysis of Acoustic Black Hole Beams Based on Fractional Calculus Theory

In this paper, a generalized acoustic black hole (ABH) beam covered with a viscoelastic layer is proposed to improve the energy dissipation based on the double-parameter Mittag–Leffler (ML) function. Since fractional-order constitutive models can more accurately capture the properties of viscoelastic materials, a fractional dynamic model of an ABH structure covered with viscoelastic film is established based on the fractional Kelvin–Voigt constitutive equation and the mechanical analysis of composite structures. To analyze the energy dissipation of the viscoelastic ML-ABH structures under steady-state conditions, the wave method is introduced, and the theory of vibration wave transmission in such non-uniform structures is extended. The effects of the fractional order, the film thickness and length, and shape function parameters on the dynamic characteristics of the ABH structure are systematically investigated. The study reveals that these parameters have a significant impact on the vibration characteristics of the ABH structure. To obtain the best parameters of the shape function under various parameters, the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is employed. The results demonstrate that by selecting appropriate ML parameters and viscoelastic materials, the dissipation characteristics of the structure can be significantly improved. This research provides a theoretical foundation for structural vibration reduction in ABH structures.
