Abstract

Acoustic non-reciprocity, referring to the phenomenon of path-dependent propagation, has diverse applications in mechanical devices. This paper presents a numerical study on a periodic triangle-shape structure that breaks reciprocity in a passive manner over a broad range of frequency and energy. The proposed structure contains strong nonlinearity and geometric asymmetry, which contributes to a direction-dependent dispersion relationship. When the signal frequency falls in the band pass in one direction, and band gap in the other, a unidirectional wave propagation results. The system achieves giant non-reciprocity with minimal distortion in the frequency content of the signal.
