Subway transportation is being promoted worldwide to effectively solve urban congestion. However, the vibration induced by subway traffic has caused a major adverse impact on building safety, precision instrument operation and human health. Wave barriers have been proven effective in mitigating ground vibration, whereas they have some limitations in achieving ideal attenuation zone and high efficiency to cover the low-frequency vibration in underground railway system. Based on locally resonant phononic crystals theory, this paper designs three-component locally resonant periodic wave barriers (LRPWBs), and investigates the effects of geometrical and material parameters on the bandgap features in detail. The band structures are calculated using improved plane wave expansion (IPWE), the transmission spectra and vibration modes are obtained by finite element method (FEM). The results indicate LRPWBs are able to give lower and wider bandgap to cover the main frequency of subway environment, which is proved by time and frequency domain analysis. For the bandgap mechanism, the local resonance features of LRPWBs result in the energy conversion between kinetic energy and elastic strain energy, thus the elastic wave energy is localized in resonance unit and then the locally resonant bandgap is created. In addition, the bandgap can be adjusted by carefully selecting proper geometrical and material parameters to actualize low-frequency broadband attenuation. Further studies about multi-oscillator system indicate that the appropriate combination of multiple LRPWBs are conductive to diverse and broad bandgaps. The investigations can provide inspiration for periodic wave barriers design in multi-frequency vibration attenuation field.
