Title: Rotational inertia interface in a dynamic lattice of flexural beams,
Abstract: The paper presents a novel analysis of a transmission problem for a network
of flexural beams incorporating conventional Euler-Bernoulli beams as well as
Rayleigh beams with the enhanced rotational inertia. Although, in the
low-frequency regime, these beams have a similar dynamic response, we have
demonstrated novel features which occur in the transmission at higher
frequencies across the layer of the Rayleigh beams.
