Abstract

This study investigates the vibration transmission in coupled metal and composite plates with curvilinear fibers from the power flow viewpoint. The time-averaged power flow variables are obtained using a substructure method to assess the levels of vibration transmission of coupled structures with various configurations and fiber angles. It is demonstrated that by adopting tailored curvilinear fiber designs, the vibration transmission through the coupling edge of the plates can be effectively suppressed. Variable fiber angle designs are shown to exert significant effects on the dominant-excited mode and can be exploited to achieve desirable energy transmission paths for low-vibration transmission and effective suppression.
