Abstract: The present paper investigates the band structure of an axially moving belt resting on a foundation with periodically varying stiffness. It is concluded that the band gaps appear when the divergence of the eigenvalue occurs and the veering phenomenon of mode shape begins. The bifurcation of eigenvalues and mode shape veering lead to wave attenuation. Hence, the boundary stiffness modulation can be designed to manipulate the band gap where the vibration is suppressed. The contribution of the system parameters to the band gaps has been obtained by applying the method of varying amplitudes. By tuning the stiffness, the desired band gap can be obtained and the vibration for specific parameters can be suppressed. The current study provides a technique to avoid vibration transmission of the axially moving material by designing the foundation stiffness.
