Elastic wave propagation

In the field of Vibro-acoustics, the control of the behavior of structures is hampered by the difficulty of using the finite element method. In this way, wave propagation view is essential and condtitutes the basis of many analytical methods used in industry. Its implementation in the field of transport has made it possible to optimize the vibro-acoustic comfort of vehicles. In the field of Civil Engineering, the calculation of the vibro-acoustic behavior of buildings has been made necessary by the evolution of standards of safety and comfort. On the other hand, wave analysis of aeroelastic or hydro-elastic problems reveals major dynamic phenomena such as shock waves, radiation and acoustic transparency of structures.
