Vibroacoustic analysis of a finite simply supported double-composite sandwich plate filled with poroelastic materials

A theoretical study of sound transmission loss across a simply supported double-composite sandwich plate filled with poroplastic material is formulated. Biot's theory is employed to describe wave propagation in elastic porous media. The two face composite plates are modeled as classical thin plates. By using the modal superposition theory, a double series solution for the sound transmission loss of the structure is obtained with the help of the Galerkin method.
