Modeling and Eigenfrequency Analysis of Sound‐Structure Interaction in a Rectangular Enclosure with Finite Element Method

Abstract

Vibration of structures due to external sound is one of the main causes of interior noise in cavities like automobile, aircraft, and rotorcraft, which disturb the comfort of passengers. Accurate modelling of such phenomena is required in eigenfrequency analysis and in designing an active noise control system to reduce the interior noise. In this paper, the effect of periodic noise travelling into a rectangular enclosure is investigated with finite element method (FEM) using COMSOL Multiphysics software. The periodic acoustic wave is generated by a point source outside the enclosure and propagated through the enclosure wall and excites an aluminium flexible panel clamped onto the enclosure. The behaviour of the transmission of sound into the cavity is investigated by computing the modal characteristics and the natural frequencies of the cavity. The simulation results are compared with previous analytical and experimental works for validation and an acceptable match between them were obtained.

Bioacoustics response of small benign or malignant nodules

“…Equation (4) was numerically solved by using finite element method. The first ten eigenfrequencies values for acoustic pressure of the sound, corresponding to the spheres with smooth surfaces, were evaluated.…”

“…However, the subjectivity involved in the interpretation of the medical images made by these techniques can be regarded as their major drawback. A system that would be able to interpret these images based on explicit features could contribute to the objectification of medical diagnosis, as it could provide the experts with a second opinion, and could lead to a consequent reduction in misdiagnosis rates [4].…”

Integrated approach of the dynamic characteristics optimization for spacecraft’s technical systems on the exploratory tests

“…However, this procedure is not only the final part, but closely connects with the other design stages [2,3]. Experimental methods for the determination causes of the RWM perturbation actions are based on the highly informative control procedures.…”

Numerical simulation and experimental study of resonance characteristics of QCM-P devices operating in liquid and their application in biological detection

“…In ASI analysis, the liquid is driven by the vibration of micropillars to generate acoustic pressure waves, while the micropillars are damped by the surrounding liquid via an acoustic pressure loading. The numerical model was set up with the finite element method and solved with eigenfrequency analysis using COMSOL [36].…”
