In this paper, an approach is presented to model the propagation of elastic waves and their
interaction with defects in plate structures. The formulation is based on the Scaled Boundary …

Often structures comprise waveguides connected by joints. The knowledge of the reflection
and transmission properties of these joints is important for many applications. This paper …

This paper describes the extension of a wave and finite element (WFE) method to the
prediction of noise transmission through, and radiation from, infinite panels. The WFE …

In this paper, an efficient numerical approach is proposed to study free and forced vibration

This paper presents an improved numerical strategy for the broadband analysis of wave
propagation in composite or complex cross-sectional waveguides using the wave finite …

Periodic structures can be designed to exhibit elastic wave propagation band gap behaviour
by varying material or geometrical properties, ie phononic crystals, or by periodically …

The wave finite element (WFE) method is investigated to describe the dynamic behavior of
periodic structures like those composed of arbitrary-shaped substructures along a certain …

The wave finite element (WFE) method is investigated to describe the harmonic forced
response of one-dimensional periodic structures like those composed of complex …

In the framework of vibrational analysis of 2D periodic waveguides, Floquet–Bloch theorem
is widely applied for the determination of wave dispersion characteristics. In this context, the …
