This study presents a comprehensive investigation into the behavior of elastic shell chambers used for noise control and vibration mitigation in engineering applications. The study focuses on the analysis of fluid–structure coupled waves in a cylindrical waveguide system with trifurcated structures and membrane discs. The mode-matching technique is employed to analyze the scattering characteristics of the elastic chamber shell. Numerical simulations and analytical techniques are used to explore the interplay between material properties, geometric configurations, and loading conditions. The Galerkin formulation is utilized to model the response of membrane bridging discs and elastic shell regions. Linear algebraic systems are solved numerically to obtain the scattering amplitudes, and the convergence of the obtained solution is assessed. The energy conservation law and transmission loss are analyzed to evaluate the accuracy and convergence behavior of the system. The numerical results provide insights into the scattering behavior of the structure, showing the influence of frequency, chamber radius, and edge conditions. The findings highlight the importance of parameter selection and boundary conditions in guiding structures and provide a basis for design optimization.
