Vibration Transmission of a Cylindrical Shell with an Interior Rectangular Plate with the Receptance Method

Abstract EN

Vibration transmission characteristics of a cylindrical shell with a rectangular plate are discussed in this paper by the substructure receptance method.

The system is divided into two substructures: the plate and the shell.

After finding the theoretical receptance function of each substructure, the coupling equation of the combined system is solved by considering the continuity conditions at the joint between the plate and the shell.

The numerical results are compared with the experimental ones to show the validity of the formulation.

After that, effects of the plate's parameters on vibration transmission characteristics are discussed.

The parameter study shows that it is important to avoid impedance matching for the plate and the shell in the design of suitable structures with low vibration and noise radiation characteristics.
