Sumario:The conventional piezoelectric metamaterials with operational-amplifier-based shunt circuits have limited application due to the voltage restriction of the amplifiers. In this research, we report a novel piezoelectric metamaterial beam that takes advantage of mechanical shunt resonators. The proposed metamaterial beam consisted of a piezoelectric beam and remote mechanical piezoelectric resonators coupled with electrical wires. The local resonance of the remote mechanical shunt resonators modified the mechanical properties of the beam, yielding an elastic wave attenuation capability. A finite-length piezoelectric metamaterial beam and mechanical shunt resonators were considered for conceptual illustration. Significant elastic wave attenuation can be realized in the vicinity of the resonant frequency of the shunt resonators. The proposed system has the potential in the application of wave attenuation under large-amplitude excitations.
