Theories for analysing the vibrational behaviour of complex structures are examined,
parallels being drawn with several other areas of physics in which problems of wave …

This paper is concerned with flexural wave propagation and vibration transmission in beams
with periodically attached vibration absorbers. Such periodic systems feature unique wave …

This paper is concerned with sound transmission loss of metamaterial-based thin plates
consisting of multiple subwavelength arrays of spring–mass resonators attached to an …

The plane wave expansion method is extended to study the flexural wave propagation in
locally resonant beams with multiple periodic arrays of attached spring-mass resonators …

Flat plates and cylindrical shells with regular and identical stiffening constitute spatially
periodic structures. Specially convenient methods of vibration analysis are available for …

This important book provides an account of the linear acoustics of basic isotropic/anisotropic
structures excited by time-harmonic and transient mechanical forces and acoustic sources …

Membrane-and plate-type acoustic metamaterials are thin membranes or plates consisting
of periodic unit cells with small added masses. It has been shown in numerous studies, that …

In recent years, acoustic black holes (ABHs) have revealed as a very effective method for the
passive reduction of vibrations in flat plates and straight beams. Those essentially consist of …

An analytic model is developed to investigate the wave propagation and sound transmission
characteristics of an infinite sandwich structure reinforced by two sets of orthogonal rib …

In this paper the response of infinite periodically stiffened fluid-loaded plates is examined for
line and point force excitations. The responses are given as a single and double integral …
