“…This approach was not just used to analyze the energy transmission on plates but also on general structures with irregular shapes. The geometries of interest are mainly developed as finite element (FE) models by using solid (Hambric and Szwerc, 1999;Shepherd et al, 2012;Xu et al, 2004a) or shell elements (Gavrić and Pavić, 1993;Hambric, 1990;Lee et al, 2006;Li and Lai, 2000;Liu et al, 2005;Petrone et al, 2016;Xu et al, 2004b). A variety of works were reported in literature, such as the SI study on cracks present in ships or off-shore platforms (Cho et al, 2010;Tian et al, 2017), of locally resonant metamaterials (Al Ba'ba'a et al, 2018;Al Ba'ba'a and Nouh, 2017) and of stiffened or ribbed plates (Cho et al, 2017;Schaal et al, 2016;Xu et al, 2005).…”
