Extract

An incident sound field is scattered by a semi-infinite rigid screen with periodically arranged slits or circular apertures and an approximate solution is sought when the slit (or aperture) width is small and the wavelength is large compared with the separation. An integral equation formulation is used to show that the scattering properties of the screens are equivalent to those of a homogeneous compliant plate. The effective compliance is estimated and is found to be essentially uniform over the plate, with corrections close to the edges.
