An investigation is made on the ability of a two accelerometer probe to measure structural intensity through plates. The method applies to thin homogeneous plates excited by bending waves. A finite difference approximation of a first order spatial derivative is assumed in the expression of intensity in the far field. Numerical results on infinite plate are presented, comparing general and far field formulation of intensity. Finally, an experiment on a clamped plate shows off specific information of structural intensity with comparison to acoustic intensity and modal analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
