Axial Vibration Confinement in Nonhomogenous Rods

A design methodology for the vibration confinement of axial vibrations in nonhomogenous rods is proposed. This is achieved by a proper selection of a set of spatially dependent functions characterizing the rod material and geometric properties. Conditions for selecting such properties are establishe...
