Elastic wave propagation in a three-layered plate with high-contrast mechanical and
geometric properties of the layers is analysed. Four specific types of contrast arising in …

An asymmetric three-layered laminate with prescribed stresses along the faces is
considered. The outer layers are assumed to be much stiffer than the inner one. The focus is …

An asymptotic approach of analysis is used to analyze the antisymmetric anti-plane shear
dispersion of an elastic inhomogeneous five-layered plate in the presence of material …

The purpose of this investigation is to see the dispersion of an inhomogeneous sandwich
plate with imperfect interfaces between the layers and supported by the two parameters …

The paper is concerned with the lowest vibration modes of multi-component rods and
cylinders with alternating high contrast material properties of the components. It is …

The present paper investigates the propagation of anti-plane Rayleigh waves in an elastic
three-layered inhomogeneous plate in the presence of viscous damping. The core layer is …

This research article investigates the behavior of elastic waves in an inhomogeneous
isotropic three-layered sandwich plate with soft-core and stiff-skin layers embedded in …

The present paper studies the anti-plane shear motion of an inhomogeneous elastic five-
layered plate amidst the four contrasting material setups. The asymptotic analysis method in …

Harmonic vibrations of a strongly inhomogeneous elastic beam with piecewise uniform
stiffnesses and densities are considered. The focus is on the lowest eigenmodes, which are …

The antiplane shear of a semi-infinite multi-layered elastic strip with traction free faces and
edges subject to prescribed stress is studied. A high contrast is assumed in the stiffnesses of …
