Abstract

The transmission of sound and vibration across a sandwich structure has been studied in this paper. The main research issues are identified and the applied concept has been explained in detail. This concept has been validated in a previous study. It has been observed that successful manipulation of certain material parameters can minimize the sound and vibration transmission through the structure significantly. The results of this work could provide guidelines for material scientists to design new composite materials with better vibration and noise transmission properties.
