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.

In this paper, we establish the finite element (FEM) and boundary element (BEM) models of a submarine section, and study the underwater sound radiation field of three different non-pressure shells made of steel, steel with anechoic tile, and the functionally graded materials (FGM) separately using a method combining of FEM and BEM . Research shows that the combination of FEM and BEM can address the acoustic radiation calculation problem of FGM, and in comparison with steel and anechoic tile laying submarine section, the weight of FGM non-pressure shell reduces 1600kg, and the sound radiation power decreases 4db and 2.5db respectively, thus having better performance in vibration and noise reduction.

An approach combining FEM with BEM is adopted to calculate the structural vibration and sound radiation of an underwater cylindrical shell. By using FORTRAN codes to compute the added mass and added damping matrices, DMAP codes to add them to structural mass and damping matrices, the problem of fluid-structural interaction was solved. Through comparing the mean square normal velocity level and sound radiation power level of ring-stiffened cylindrical shell with different inertia moment of stiffeners, the results can be acquired: with the moment of inertia gets bigger, the peak frequency of the frequency-response curves increases while the peak value of vibration and sound radiation decreases. The number of strengthened stiffeners has the same effect on peak frequency as the moment of inertia, but has no effect on peak value.

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.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to study the sound radiation by a cylindrical shell internally coupled with mechanical structures of high modal density. The model is based on a mobility technique. The numerical results show a smoothing of the cylinder’s velocity and radiation spectra associated with an increase of the apparent damping. The use of the S.E.A. method allows us to calculate an additional structural damping of the shell, equivalent to the effect of the internal structures.
