We present a semi-analytical method for computing the reflection and transmission coefficients at joints connecting an arbitrary number of semi-infinite orthotropic plates based on the line-junction approximation. We use a wave approach and describe... Read More about Transmission and reflection of waves at structural junctions connecting thin orthotropic plates.
