Abstract
This study describes the wave propagation in a periodic lattice which is formed by a spring-mass two-dimensional structure with local Duffing nonlinear resonators. The wave propagation characteristics of the system are evaluated by using the perturbation method to determine the dispersion relationships and wave propagation characteristics in the nonlinear two-dimensional acoustic metamaterials. A quantitative study of wave amplitude is carried out to determine the maximum allowable wave amplitude for the whole structures under the assumption of small parameters. In particular, the harmonic balance method is introduced to investigate the frequency response and effective mass of the nonlinear systems. We find that the dispersion relations and group velocity of unit cell are related to wave amplitude. Furthermore, the dual-wave vector is observed in the nonlinear systems. Numerical simulations validate the dispersion analytical results. The results can be used to tune wave propagation in the nonlinear acoustic metamaterials and provide some ideas for the study of nonlinear metamaterials.
