This work investigates the application of space–time fractional-order operators to the simulation of linear elastic waves propagating in 1D periodic structures resting on a viscoelastic foundation. More specifically, this study focuses on the possible application of fractional-order mathematics as the foundation to develop efficient reduced-order models capable of capturing the wave dynamics in periodic, viscoelastic one-dimensional metamaterials. By leveraging a space–time fractional formulation of the wave equation, we develop a homogenized model capable of capturing either material or geometric inhomogeneity and viscoelastic behavior. First, we derive the dispersion relation for a 1D infinite periodic bar resting on a longitudinal viscoelastic foundation using integer order formulation, which serves as a reference point in this work. Then, we obtain the dispersion relationships associated with two different fractional formulations. The first formulation relies on the use of time-fractional derivatives and focuses on capturing the dissipation induced by the viscoelastic foundation. The second formulation relies on the use of space–time fractional derivatives in order to lead to a homogenized one-dimensional model of the periodic bar. In order to achieve real-valued fractional orders, a matching approach between the dispersion relations of the fractional- and integer-order differential equations is used. Numerical simulations show that the space–time fractional wave equation serves as an effective homogenized model that well represents the wave propagation in a 1D periodic bar on a viscoelastic foundation. The results also illustrate that the use of space-fractional derivatives allows modeling the dynamics within (low order) frequency band gaps, a result typically not achievable with classical homogenization techniques.
