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

In this paper, we present a design of locally resonant (LR) beams using periodic arrays of
beam-like resonators (or beam-like vibration absorbers) attached to a thin homogeneous …

A periodic binary straight beam with different cross sections is constructed and studied. The
band structures of flexural waves in the structure are calculated with the plane-wave …

Band gaps appear in the frequency spectra of periodic materials and structures. In this work
we examine flexural wave propagation in beams and investigate the effects of the various …

We study the low frequency wave propagation behavior of sandwich beams containing
periodically embedded internal resonators. A closed form expression for the propagation …

A recent active vibration absorption method, the Delayed Resonator (DR) is considered. The
DR absorber is implemented on a flexible beam, and the dynamic features of this structure …

The authors study the propagation of flexural waves in a locally resonant (LR) thin plate
made of a two-dimensional periodic array of spring–mass resonators attached on a thin …

To determine the flexural vibration band gaps in periodic beams, the theoretical equations
are derived by employing the Bloch–Floquet theorem and then solved by the use of the …

The complex band structures and attenuation spectra of flexural waves in slender beams
with periodically mounted local resonators are investigated with transfer matrix method. It is …

The design of band-gap structures receives increasing attention for many applications in
mitigation of undesirable vibration and noise emission levels. A band-gap structure usually …
