Re-entrant auxetic cellular structures (RACSs) offer various mechanical properties. Specifically, their high acoustic absorption and dissipation properties turn them into proper candidates to effectively increase the sound insulation characteristics of sandwich plates. Accordingly, this approach proposes an analytical strategy to investigate the exact effect of using three-dimensional (3D)-RACS in order to determine the sound transmission loss (STL) coefficient of a sandwich panel. Therefore, the dynamic equations of fluid–structure interaction are extracted using 3D stress distribution, and then the obtained equations are solved analytically based on the state vector method. The reliability and precision of the outcomes are checked according to previous works. The results obtained are significant because the designed sandwich model seems to improve the sound characteristics of the system based on the STL comparisons between the current approach and the single-layer plates as well as sandwich panels with other core geometries. The achievements of this study can provide novel insights into the STL of 3D-RACS sandwich systems with a complex core model.
