Abstract
Periodic structures are systems composed of repeated fundamental blocks called unit cells. As well established in photonics and phononics or structural dynamics, these periodic structures present pass bands and stop bands, which are frequency ranges where waves can or cannot propagate, respectively. In phononic crystals, the frequency where a stop band occurs is defined by the geometric and material properties of the primary unit cell. With the objective of improving these passive characteristics, this paper investigates the influence of active control using piezoelectric elements as actuators. The passive and active structural influence of the piezoelectric elements coupled to a beam are investigated and their effects over the pass and stop bands are discussed. The electromechanical periodic system is modeled using the spectral element method.
