Abstract:

The structural acoustic coupling characteristics of a rectangular enclosure consisting of two elastic supported flexible plates and four rigid plates are analyzed. A general formulation considering the full coupling between the plates and cavity is developed by using Hamiltonian function and Rayleigh-Ritz method. By means of continuous distributions of artificial springs along boundary of flexible plates, a wide variety of boundary conditions and structure joint conditions are considered. To demonstrate the validity of the analytical model, the responses of sound pressure in the cavity and plate velocity are worked out. The analytical results coincides well with Kim＇s experimental results. The result is satisfactory. Finally, analytical results on the structure vibration and the sound field inside the cavity are presented. These results indicate that the coupling of the combined structure is relatively weak, so the internal cavity sound is controlled by plate directly excited,and the translational stiffness affects the sound more than the rotational stiffness does.[著者文摘]
