A method to calculate the acoustic response of a thin, baffled, simply supported poroelastic plate.Horoshenkov, Kirill V., Sakagami, K January 2001 (has links)
No / The Helmholtz integral equation formulation is used to produce the solution for the acoustic field reflected from a finite, thin, poroelastic plate in a rigid baffle with simply supported edges. The acoustic properties of the porous material are predicted using the effective fluid assumption. The solutions for the displacement of the plate and for the loading acoustic pressures are given in the form of the sine transform. The sine transform coefficients are obtained from the solution of a system of linear equations resulting from three integral Helmholtz formulations which relate the displacement of the plate and the acoustic pressures on the front and on the back of the plate. The effect of an air gap behind the plate in the front of a rigid wall is also considered. A parametric study is performed to predict the effect of variations in the parameters of the poroelastic plate. It is shown that thin, light, poroelastic plates can provide high values of the acoustic absorption even for low frequency sound. This effect can be exploited to design compact noise control systems with improved acoustic performance.

A scaled physical model for underwater sound radiation from a partially submerged cylindrical shell under impactWoolfe, Katherine 06 July 2012 (has links)
The motivation for this study is to create a scaled laboratory model of a steel construction pile being driven by an impact hammer, which can provide controlled data to aid understanding and development of a structural acoustics numerical model simulating full-scale impact pile driving. The scaled model is approximately thirty times shorter than a typical 30-meter long Cast-in-Shell-Steel (CISS) pile. The relationship between the impact force, structural vibrations, and radiated sound field is analyzed. The time-domain acoustic intensity in the radial direction is found to be predominately negative immediately following excitation by the impact force. Analysis of the radial intensity shows that during the hammer strike, there is a net flow of energy from the structure into the water; however, because the structure and water are acoustically coupled a significant portion of the energy immediately flows back into the cylinder following hammer impact. This fluid-structure interaction results in a highly damped acoustic pulse in the water that propagates to the far field. In addition, the frequency spectra of the impact force, model pile wall acceleration in the radial direction in air and water, and underwater acoustic pressure are analyzed to find transfer functions between these variables. The transfer function between impact force and sound pressure is of particular interest because it can be used to calculate the system response for any other applied hammer force. This transfer function analysis has potential applications in mitigating noise generated by impact pile driving.

Modélisation et validation expérimentale des complexes insonorisants pour la prévision vibroacoustique numérique basse et moyenne fréquences des automobiles / Modelling and experimental validation of complex sound-insulation layers for computational low- and medium-frequency vibroacoustics of carsFernandez, Charles 11 December 2008 (has links)
Dans cette recherche, on construit un modèle simplifié en basses et moyennes fréquences de complexes insonorisants (habillages) de l’industrie automobile à partir d'un élément élastoacoustique stochastique. Le modèle simplifié moyen est issu d'une extension de la théorie des structures floues et dépend de trois paramètres physiques : densité modale, amortissement et masse participante. Le modèle simplifié stochastique qui prend en compte les incertitudes de modèle et de données est construit en utilisant une approche probabiliste non paramétrique et dépend de trois paramètres de dispersion. Le modèle simplifié de l'habillage est implémenté dans un modèle vibroacoustique stochastique industriel d’automobile. Deux problèmes inverses sont résolus à l’aide d'une base de données expérimentales sur véhicules construite en parallèle et permettent d’identifier les paramètres du modèle complet. L'analyse des résultats permet de valider les développements théoriques et la méthodologie proposée / This research aims at developing a simplified low- and medium-frequency model for automotive sound-insulation layers based on a stochastic elastoacoustic element. The mean simplified model comes from an extension of the fuzzy structures theory and depends on three physical parameters : modal density, damping and participating mass. A nonparametric probabilistic approach is used to build the uncertainty-accounting stochastic simplified model. This model takes into account the modeling and system parameters uncertainties and depends on three dispersion parameters. The insulation simplified model is then implemented in an industrial stochastic vibroacoustic model of a car. An experimental database of tests on vehicles has been concomitantly carried out and has led to inverse problems allowing the identification of the simplified model parameters to be performed. The analysis of these results shows the validation of the theory and the relevance of the proposed methodology

Asymptotic Analysis Of The Dispersion Characteristics Of Structural Acoustic WaveguidesSarkar, Abhijit 06 1900 (has links)
In this work, we study the coupled dispersion characteristics of three distinct structural-acoustic waveguides, namely: -(1) a two-dimensional waveguide, (2) a fluid-filled circular cylindrical shell and (3)a fluid-filledelliptic cylindrical shell. Our primary interest is in finding coupled wavenumbers as functions of the fluid-structure coupling parameter(µ). Using the asymptotic solution methodology, we find the coupled wavenumbers as perturbations over the uncoupled wavenumbers of the component systems (the structure and the fluid). The asymptotic method provides us with analytical expressions of the coupled wavenumbers for small and large values of µ. The dispersion curves obtained from these extreme values of µ help in predicting the nature of the continuous transition of the wavenumber branches over the entire range of µ. Since the coupled wavenumbers are obtained as perturbations over the uncoupled wavenumbers, the perturbation term characterizes the effect of one medium over the other in terms of additional mass or stiffness. As is common in asymptotic methods, a particular form of the asymptotic expansion remains valid over a certain frequency range only. Hence, different scalings of the asymptotic parameter are used for different frequency ranges. In this regard, the method adopted uses principles of Matched Asymptotic Expansion (MAE).
As mentioned above, we begin the study with a two-dimensional structural acoustic waveguide. Depending on the boundary condition at the top-edge of the fluid-layer (rigid or pressure-release), two cases are separately analyzed. In both these cases, only a single perturbation parameter (µ) is used. This is followed by the study of the axisymmetric mode vibration of a fluid-filled circular cylindrical shell. Here, in addition to , we include the Poisson’s ratio as another asymptotic parameter. The next problem studied is the beam mode (n =1)vibration of the same fluid-filled circular cylindrical shell. Here, the frequency is used as an asymptotic parameter (in addition to ) and the derivations proceed in two separate parts, one for the high frequency and the other for the low frequency. Having completed the n = 0 and n = 1 modes of the cylindrical shell, the higher order shell modes are studied using the simpler shallow shell theory. For the final system, viz., the elliptic cylindrical shell, another asymptotic parameter in the form of the eccentricity of the cross-section is used.
Having derived the analytical expressions for the coupled wavenumbers and obtained the dispersion curves, a unified behavior of structural-acoustic systems is found to emerge. In all these systems, for small , the coupled wavenumbers are close to the in vacuo structural wavenumber and the wavenumbers of the rigid-walled acoustic duct. The measure of closeness is quantified by . As µ increases, these wavenumber branches get shifted continuously till for large µ, the coupled wavenumber branches are better identified as perturbations to the wavenumbers of the pressure-release acoustic duct. At the coincidence region, the coupled structural wavenumber branch transits to the coupled acoustic wavenumber branchand vice-versa. As a result, at coincidence frequencies, while the uncoupled wavenumber branches intersect, due to the coupling, there is no longer an intersection. These common characteristics are shared amongst all the systems despite the difference in geometries. This suggests that the above discussed features capture the essential physics of sound-structure coupling in waveguides.This workthus presents a novel unified view-point to the topic.
Along the way, some additional novel studies are conducted which do contribute to the completeness of the work. The free wavenumbers determined from the asymptotic expressions are usedto calculate the forced response of the two-dimensional waveguide due to a δ forcing. Using this analysis, we are able to come up with a novel explanation of the observation that with coupling the dispersion curves cannot intersect. Additionally, the effect of bulk flow in the acoustic fluid is also comprehensively studied for the easier case of the two-dimensional waveguide. Further, the well-known universal dispersion relation for the higher order circumferential modes of the in vacuo circular cylindrical shell is re-derived using a simpler method.

Efficient finite element approach for structural-acoustic applicationns including 3D modelling of sound absorbing porous materialsRumpler, Romain 13 March 2012 (has links) (PDF)
In the context of interior noise reduction, the present work aims at proposing Finite Element (FE) solution strategies for interior structural-acoustic applications including 3D modelling of homogeneous and isotropic poroelastic materials, under timeharmonic excitations, and in the low frequency range. A model based on the Biot-Allard theory is used for the poroelastic materials, which is known to be very costly in terms of computational resources. Reduced models offer the possibility to enhance the resolution of such complex problems. However, their applicability to porous materials remained to be demonstrated.First, this thesis presents FE resolutions of poro-elasto-acoustic coupled problems using modal-based approaches both for the acoustic and porous domains. The original modal approach proposed for porous media, together with a dedicated mode selection and truncation procedure, are validated on 1D to 3D applications.In a second part, modal-reduced models are combined with a Padé approximants reconstruction scheme in order to further improve the efficiency.A concluding chapter presents a comparison and a combination of the proposed methods on a 3D academic application, showing promising performances. Conclusions are then drawn to provide indications for future research and tests to be conducted in order to further enhance the methodologies proposed in this thesis.
