Abstract

Resonance plate comprises a core plate (1) and a fiber coating (2) made of long fibers and arranged on both outer sides of the core plate. The core plate has a recess (3) surrounded by the material regions of the core plate where the total volume of the recess is not more than 80%, preferably 20-45%, of the total volume of the core plate. Preferred Features: Single regions of the core plate have different thicknesses.
