Propagation and Reflection of Harmonic Waves in a Plane Acoustic Layer with Non-Homogeneous Flexible Walls

A plane acoustic layer bounded by elastic membranes, one of which has an insert with different material properties, is considered. The propagation and reflection of harmonic waves in such a layer is studied. The source of vibrations is an incident mode, coming from infinity. The solution in three regions (before the insert, under the insert, after the insert) is sought as modal expansion. The numerical results for the reflected power coefficient are presented.

A Certain Approach to Solving of Some One-Dimensional Contact Problems

The paper deals with the problems of the unbonded contact of beams, strings, circular membranes and plates. A new approach to solving of such problems is suggested. This approach includes the rigorous problem statement, the elementary proof of the uniqueness of solution and the analytical solution construction method. The method is based on the iterative correction of the contact region. A number of examples of this method application are given.
