Abstract

Analyses the environment and characteristics of an advanced manufacturing system (AMS). It is an open system with a multi‐layer structure and a self‐organizing ability capable of responding to a continuous changing and unpredictable environment in this information age. Based on the analysis, summarizes the requirements of decision processes in a typical AMS, and presents a framework of a decision‐support system (DSS) in an advanced manufacturing enterprise. Outlines the conceptual modelling of the system, explains the work carried out by an inter‐disciplinary team composed of researchers from the 863/CIMS/I‐MADIS, a national hi‐tech R&D programme in China and a joint research programme in computer integrated manufacturing management between the City University of Hong Kong and Tsinghua University, Beijing. 863/CIMS is one of the subject themes under the auspices of automation technology of the National High Technology Research and Development Programme of China launched by the government in March 1986.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to propose a design method for attenuating stress waves pressure using soft matrix embedded with particles.

Design/methodology/approach

Based on the phononic crystal theory, the particle composed of hard core and soft coating can form a spring oscillator structure. When the frequency of the wave is close to the resonance frequency of the spring oscillator, it can cause the resonance of the particle and absorb a lot of energy. In this paper, the resonant phononic crystal with three phases, namely, matrix, particle core and coating, is computationally designed to effectively mitigate the stress wave with aperiodic waveform.

Findings

The relationship between the center frequency and width of the bandgap and the geometric and physical parameters of particle core are discussed in detail, and the trend of influence is analyzed and explained by a spring oscillator model. Increasing the radius of hard core could effectively enhance the bandgap width, thus enhancing the effect of stress wave attenuation. In addition, it is found that when the wave is in the bandgap, adding viscosity into the matrix will not further enhance the stress attenuation effect, but will make the stress attenuation effect of the material worse because of the competition between viscous dissipation mechanism and resonance mechanism.

Research limitations/implications

This study will provide a reference for the design of stress wave protection materials with general stress waves.

Originality/value

This study proposes a design method for attenuating stress waves pressure using soft matrix embedded with particles.
