Abstract: The band gap structures by arranging hybrid shunted piezoelectric materialswith resistance inductive(RL) circuit and negative impedance converter(NIC) closely and at intervals are presented.The theoretical model is built using transfer matrix method.Then the MATLAB computing language is utilized to simulate the band gap structures.Meanwhile,the effects of the resistance,inductance and capacitance on the local resonant gap are studied.By comparing different combinations of resistance,inductance and capacitance as well as different arrangement of circuits,a 13 kHz band gap is reached under the effect of arranging hybrid periodic shunted piezoelectric patches at intervals and the stability of the system is also analyzed.It is proved that utilizing hybrid shunted piezoelectric patches would have a clear impact on the band gap structure of phononic crystal rods.Moreover,the band gap would be clearly enlarged by arranging hybrid piezoelectric patches at intervals.
