Abstract
Wave propagation is a transient dynamic phenomenon resulting from short duration loading. Such transient loadings have high frequency content. The main difference between the structural dynamics and wave propagation in structures arises due to high frequency excitations in the later case. Structures very often experience such loadings in the forms of impact and blast loadings like gust, bird hit, tool drops etc. Apart from these, the wave propagation studies are also important to understand the dynamic characteristics of a structure at higher frequencies due to their various real-world applications.
