In this paper, an approach is proposed and presented to tackle the vibro-acoustic properties of finite clamped composite sandwich plates with foam core. Composite are treated as being orthotropic apparent bending stiffnesses calculated for two principal directions. The plate estimated by element calculation on beam elements cut from considered plates. sound transmission loss predicted using Kir...

a new approach for analyzing cracked problems in 2d orthotropic materials using the well-known element free galerkin method and orthotropic enrichment functions is proposed. the element free galerkin method is a meshfree method which enables discontinuous problems to be modeled efficiently. in this study, element free galerkin is extrinsically enriched by the recently developed crack-tip orthot...
