Based on our previous work, we propose a homogenized model of acoustic waves propagating through periodically perforated elastic plates with metamaterial properties due to embedded arrays soft inclusions serving for resonators. Such structures enable suppress the transmission selected frequency bands. Homogenization vibro-acoustic fluid-structure interaction problem in 3D complex geometry layer...

The objective of this study was to establish a rock physics model of North Sea Paleogene greensand. The Hertz-Mindlin contact model is widely used to calculate elastic velocities of sandstone as well as to calculate the initial sand-pack modulus of the soft-sand, stiff-sand, and intermediate-stiff-sand models. When mixed minerals in rock are quite different, e.g., mixtures of quartz and glaucon...

This study deals with the elastic-plastic impact on moderately thick rectangular plate subjected to uniform in-plane compressive loads resting on the Pasternak elastic foundation. The proposed rectangular plates have two opposite edges simply-supported, while all possible combinations of free, simply-supported and clamped boundary conditions are applied to the other two edges. The dimensionless...

Interior error estimates are obtained for a low order finite element introduced by Arnold and Falk for the Reissner– Mindlin plates. It is proved that the approximation error of the finite element solution in the interior domain is bounded above by two parts: one measures the local approximability of the exact solution by the finite element space and the other the global approximability of the ...

Free vibration and buckling of three-phase bidirectional functionally graded sandwich (BFGSW) plates are studied in this paper for the first time by using an efficient nine-node quadrilateral (Q9) element. The core is pure ceramic, while two skin layers a material. element derived on basis Mindlin plate theory linked interpolations. Fundamental frequencies loads computed with various boundary c...

An approach to detect and image multiple damages in a platelike structure is presented. A structural health monitoring system (SHMS) with a linear array of actuators/sensors is proposed. The integrated actuators/sensors are used to activate/receive lowest-order antisymmetric A0 mode Lamb waves. A migration technique used in geophysical exploration and seismic prospecting is adopted to interpret...
