Vibration and acoustic response of a composite plate with inherent material damping in a thermal environment

This paper presents numerical simulation studies on the vibration and acoustic response characteristics of an isotropic rectangular plate in a thermal environment using commercial finite element softwares ANSYS and SYSNOISE. First the critical buckling temperature is obtained, followed by modal and harmonic analyses considering prestress due to the thermal field in the plate, with the critical buckling temperature as a parameter. The vibration response predicted is then used to compute the sound radiation. It is found that the displacement response of the structure increases with an increase in temperature for all boundary conditions. The overall sound radiation of the plate marginally increases with an increase in temperature for all boundary conditions when the temperature approaches the critical buckling temperature although there is a sharp increase in sound power levels.

This paper describes the development of a numerical model to predict the vibro-acoustic behavior of an externally fluid loaded shell with non-uniformly space stiffeners and transversal bulkheads. This model constitutes an extension of the existing semi-analytic capability in predicting the acoustics of axisymmetric structures. It is based on the circumferential admittance approach (CAA) which consists in substructuring the problem so that the fluid loaded shell constitutes one subsystem and the frames constitute other independent subsystems. These subsystems are coupled together by assembling the circumferential admittances that characterize each uncoupled subsystem. Different numerical approaches can be used to estimate these admittances. The standard finite element code is well adapted for evaluating the admittances of the internal frames whatever their cross-section geometries and material properties. Classical discretization methods such as finite elements and boundary elements are too time-consuming for the fluid loaded shell. To avoid this obstacle, three different approaches with different degrees of approximation are proposed to estimate the shell admittances. Comparisons with a reference case are proposed to evaluate the accuracy and the efficiency of each of these three approaches. With the optimal approach, CAA gives very good results in satisfactory computing time. It is well-adapted for analyzing the behavior of a submarine pressure hull in a wide frequency range of interest.
