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.

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.

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. In 1932, Trefftz presented the Trefftz method categorized as the boundary-type solution such as the BEM or BIEM which can reduce the dimension of the original problem by one. The Trefftz formulation is regular and free of calculating improper boundary integrals.

M M S S V V 34 Concluding remarks An analytical approach to solve the scattering problem of flexural waves and to determine the DMCF and the far field scattering amplitude in an infinite thin plate with multiple circular inclusions was proposed By using the addition theorem, the Trefftz method can be extended to deal with multiply scattering problems. The magnitude of DMCF of two inclusions is larger than that of one when the space of inclusions is small. The proposed algorithm is general and easily applicable to problems with multiple inclusions which are not easily solved by using the traditional analytical method The effect of the space between inclusions on the near-field DMCF is different from that on the far-field scattering amplitude.
