Analytical modelling of structure-borne sound transmission through I-junction using Chebyshev-Ritz method on cascaded rectangular plate–cavity system

Abstract

A Chebyshev-Ritz based analytical model is proposed to investigate I-junction within the structuralacoustic model of a cascaded rectangular plate-cavity system. By considering of the structural interconnection force and the moment at edges and structural-acoustic interaction on the interface, the structural and acoustic systems are coupled. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional Chebyshev Polynomial series are used to present the unknown panel displacements and the sound pressure field variable inside the cavities, respectively. The effectiveness and correctness of the proposed model on an I-junction in a typical marine offshore platform are verified with those calculated from Finite Element Analysis. The influence of boundary conditions, structural coupling, plate properties, and size of the source-to-receiver cavities on the offshore platform on structure-borne sound transmission are analyzed and addressed. Numerical examples are simulated for several different configurations. It is shown that the boundary conditions, structural coupling manner, plate properties, and the volume ratio of the source-to-receiver cavity will change the structure-borne sound transmission characteristics of the cascaded rectangular plate-cavity system. With the proposed approach, a better prediction can be obtained for structure-borne sound transmission via proper tuning of the cascaded rectangular platecavity system on the offshore platform.

Study on Acoustic Characteristics of a Flexible Plate Strongly Coupled with Rectangular Cavity

“…Substitute equation ( 6) and equations ( 15)∼(18) into equation (14). According to the Rayleigh-Ritz method [25,26], set the partial derivative of the Lagrange functions L C with respect to expansion coefficient vectors of sound pressure A and the Lagrange functions L P with respect to expansion coefficient vectors of structural displacement B as zero, respectively,…”

Analytical modeling of the virtual sound insulation measurement suite and research on sound insulation test methods

“…Through numerical modeling method, Dai et al 11 have discovered the coupling degree between magnon modes in a single cavity is decided by the geometric parameters of the frame member. On this basis, Chin et al 12 developed a fully coupled panel-cavity model based on the Chebyshev–Ritz to study the influence of different structures on acoustic characteristics. A multi plate-cavity coupling model is also established by Wang et al 13 to investigate the effect of parameters on free vibration.…”
