Spectral Element Method in Structural Dynamics is a concise and timely introduction to the
spectral element method (SEM) as a means of solving problems in structural dynamics …

The paper is a review on the literature dealing with the main properties of non-ideal vibrating
systems. The analytical and numerical methods applied for analysing such systems are …

In this paper, a unified method is proposed for the first time to predict the free and forced
vibration behavior of the combined conical–cylindrical shells coupled with annular plates in …

Periodic structures can be used for vibration control thanks to their vibration attenuation stop
bands. The dispersion diagram obtained for the structural unit cell can be used to …

Phononic crystals and metamaterials are spatially periodic waveguides that may exhibit
wave attenuation bands and, therefore, can be applied as vibration attenuation devices. In …

At present, the main numerical modelling techniques for acoustic and (coupled) vibro-
acoustic analysis are based on element based techniques, such as the finite element and …

Prediction and measurement of vibration power flow in structures are both important for
locating vibration sources and sinks and for confirming vibration propagating paths. From …

Vibration may lead to several problems and, therefore, must be considered in structural
design. Periodic structures may present wave propagation phenomena capable of …

This paper presents a method for predicting the free and forced vibration behavior of open
and closed cylindrical shells in the steady-state thermal environment. The vibration …

Additive manufacturing has enabled the construction of increasingly complex mechanical
structures. However, the variability of mechanical properties may be higher than that of …
