4. M M S S V V 3 Introduction Inclusions, or inhomogeneous materials, usually take place in shapes of discontinuity such as thickness reduction or strength degradation. The deformation and corresponding stresses caused by the dynamic force are induced throughout the structure by means of wave propagation.

5. M M S S V V 4 Scattering At the irregular interface of different media, stress wave reflects in all directions scattering The near field scattering flexural wave results in the dynamic stress concentration which will reduce loading capacity and induce fatigue failure. Certain applications of the far field scattering flexural response can be obtained in vibration analysis or structural health-monitoring system.

6. M M S S V V 5 Literature review From literature reviews, few papers have been published to date reporting the scattering of flexural wave in plate with more than one inclusion. Kobayashi and Nishimura pointed out that the integral equation method (BIEM) seems to be most effective for two-dimensional steady-state flexural wave. Improper integrals on the boundary should be handled particularly when the BEM or BIEM is used.

7. M M S S V V 6 Objective For the plate problem, it is more difficult to calculate the principal values to treat the improper integral. Our objective is to develop a semi-analytical approach to solve the scattering problem of flexural waves in an infinite thin plate with multiple circular inclusions by using the null-field integral formulation, degenerate kernels and Fourier series.

40. M M S S V V 39 Concluding remarks A semi-analytical approach to solve the scattering problem of flexural waves and to determine the DMCF and the far field scattering pattern in an infinite thin plate with multiple circular inclusions was proposed The present method used the null BIEs in conjugation with the degenerate kernels, and the Fourier series in the adaptive observer system. DMCF of two inclusions is apparently larger than that of one when two inclusions are close to each other. Fictitious frequency of external problem can be suppressed by using the more number of Fourier series terms. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. The space between two inclusions has different effects on the near field DMCF and the far field scattering pattern.
