ABSTRACT
Vibrations from both natural and man-made sources have a considerable impact on structural sustainability. Vibration isolation aids in reducing these impacts. In order to isolate vibration under various loading scenarios, this study investigates a unique cubical metamaterial with negative Poisson’s ratio cells. The structural behavior of the metamaterial is investigated at various thicknesses (0.5 mm, 1 mm, 1.5 mm), forces (0.5 kg, 1 kg, 1.5 kg), and amplitudes (0.5 mm, 1 mm, 1.5 mm) using the finite element technique (FEM) in ABAQUS. According to the results, the metamaterial maintains an effective vibration isolation efficiency between 40 and 80 Hz, with a peak efficiency of 67–74% under ideal circumstances. These results highlight how metamaterials can be used to improve stability and durability in infrastructure building.
