It has been shown that, for 10% more mass, weights arranged in a fractal pattern in the honeycomb affect the vibratory pattern of a sandwich panel by creating multiple reflections of the bending waves on the inclusions. They thus generate a phenomenon of focusing vibratory waves providing localized modes while attenuating the structure's acoustic radiation. The objectives of this paper are to describe: first, the vibro-acoustic model of an overloaded homogenized bending panel (to mimic a trim panel with a fractal pattern); second, the physical phenomena associated to this concept; third, the impact on the modal behavior and the vibratory and acoustic responses.", }
