Transmission loss in cylindrical shells due to a finite region of discontinuities is considered. The analysis considers a free traveling wave encountering finite number of stiffeners. The material and geometric properties of the stiffeners and the spacing may vary. Numerical examples are presented. The transmission efficiency and the reflection efficiencey are found for two cases of interest.
