The vibrations of and the sound radiation from sandwich beams with truss core are here analyzed. The structure of the core is composed of a sequence of identical unit cells repeating along the beam length and across the core thickness. Each cell is composed of beam elements assembled to form a frame structure. Layouts with honeycomb patterns arranged through the thickness of the core are considered. This design represents an alternative with respect to the traditional application of honeycombs in sandwich construction. The proposed configuration provides sandwich beams with interesting structural as well as acoustic characteristics. A spectral finite element model is developed to evaluate the structural and the acoustic behavior of the considered class of sandwich beams. The spectral model can be easily coupled with a Fourier Transform based analysis of the sound radiated by the fluidloaded structure. The model predicts the performance of beams with various core configurations. The comparison is carried out in terms of vibration and sound radiation in an unbounded acoustic half-plane. Hexagonal and re-entrant honeycomb configurations are considered to study the effects of core geometry on structural response and acoustic radiation.

The dynamic response and the sound radiation of truss core panels are investigated in this paper. The spectral element model for the truss core panel is developed. The element model is established by employing shape functions derived directly from the solution of distributed parameter models for each beam element. Forced vibrations of a fluid-loaded beam in a rigid baffle are considered. The spectral formulation can be easily and efficiently coupled with the Fourier transform (FT) based analysis of the structure’s sound radiation in a surrounding acoustic medium. Hence the proposed formulation is an efficient numerical tool for the analysis of the dynamic and acoustic performance of the considered truss core sandwich panels. The comparison of the sound characteristics selected as sound transmission reduction index to the psychical parameters of the truss core beam is carried out.

The exciting force’s accurate measurement of is crucial to the structure-born sound radiation. Forced vibration and sound radiation of the ribbed cylinder is examined in the anechoic room. An approach called added mass and damping method is proposed to calculate the elastic vibration and acoustic field of the cylinder. Results obtained from simulation are show to be in good agreement with the experimental data. Sound radiation induced by different input loading form is examined via simulation and experiment. And the equipollence of force and pressure acting on the base is validated.

An analytical study on the vibration and acoustic radiation from an axially stiffened cylindrical shell in water is presented. Supposing that the axial stiffeners interact with the cylindrical shell only through radial forces, the reaction forces on the shell from stiffeners can be expressed by additional impedance. The coupled vibration equation of the finite cylindrical shell with axial stiffening is derived; in this equation additional impedance caused by the axial stiffeners is added. As a result, the vibration and sound radiation of the shell are dependent on the mechanical impedance of the shell, the radiation sound impedance, and the additional impedance of the axial stiffeners. Based on the numerical simulation, it is found that the existence of axial stiffeners decreases the sound radiation and surface average velocity, whereas it increases the radiation factor. The characteristics of the acoustic radiation can be understood from the simulation with good results, which show that the presented methodology can be used to study the mechanism of the acoustic radiation of the complicated cylindrical shell and to optimize its design.
