Abstract
Problems such as sound insulation and absorption of plane structures in laboratory conditions can
theoretically be described as an integral or integral-differential equation. This equation contains the Green’s
function integrated over the surface, which describes the radiation from the surface. A variational technique,
well described by Morse and Ingard, has successfully been used for both absorption and sound insulation for
a plane incident wave. The resulting formulas are surprisingly simple, accurate and robust. Moreover, they
capture the physics of sound radiation of a finite surface well. However, the approach has turned out
problematic in more complicated cases, including spatial periodicity. The paper discusses these issues, and
suggests modifications to overcome the problems.
