Popis: Using a semianalytical solution to the problem of wave excitation in an elastically supported one-dimensional waveguide with a system of point obstacles, we analyze the relation between the observed effects of blocking-transmission and the discrete spectrum point distribution in the complex frequency plane. We check the assumption, stemming from earlier numerical analysis for two-dimensional elastic waveguides with extended obstacles, on whether the occurrence of transmission frequencies in the blocking range is related to the presence of close-to-the-real-axis points of a discrete spectrum. The number of such spectral points increases in proportion to the number of obstacles, giving in the limit continuous transmission bands described by the Bloch-Floquet theory for infinite periodic structures.
