Periodic structures have an important role to play in the reduction of vibration within a targeted frequency range. Much of the literature concerning vibrations in periodic structures involves the description of wave ...

In many practical engineering situations, a source of vibrations may excite a large and flexible structure such as a ship’s deck, an aeroplane fuselage, a satellite antenna, a wall panel. To avoid transmission of the ...

The study of mono-coupled periodic structures has gained renewed interest by the scientific community due to the new applications of metamaterials and meta-structures. Much research has focused on the wave propagation ...

In this paper, we numerically demonstrate a refraction index sensor based on phase resonance excitation in a subwavelength-slit structure with a double period. The sensor consists of a metal layer with subwavelength slots ...

The excitation of phase resonances in dual-period wire structures under evanescent incidence is investigated and numerically reported for the first time. The diffraction problem of a compound structure comprising subwavelength ...

Engraving surfaces with holographic features is not only used for decorative applications, but also for protecting products from counterfeit and piracy. Tins structural coloration can be produced on large areas at ...

In recent papers, it has been theoretically shown that by using dual-period wire gratings, it is possible to control the relative efficiencies of the diffracted orders, regardless of the wires` material, incident polarization ...

This paper investigates whether there is evidence of structural change in the Brazilian term structure of interest rates. Multivariate cointegration techniques are used to verify this evidence. Two econometrics models are ...

The present research analyzed the influence of the soil structure interaction (SSI) in buildings, varying geotechnical parameters and height, considering 3 international codes. The responses obtained from the structures ...
