Loss Factors

In statistical energy analysis, coupling loss factor is the essential parameter for vibro-acoustic analysis of complicated structures. The coupling loss factors have been estimated using energy-level difference method. The tightening torque applied at structural junction has been varied. Higher values of coupling loss factor have been observed for higher tightening torque on bolted junction. The coupling loss factors have been determined for various structural junctions of rectangular composite plates. The riveted and bolted junctions have been examined for composite plates in same plane and size. The coupling loss factors for bolted junction are relatively higher than that for riveted junction of composite plates. The values of coupling loss factors are found to increase with increasing tightening torque applied at structural junctions of composite plates. It is also noted that the experimental results of coupling loss factors for point junctions vary with changes in fiber orientations of composite plates. It is firmly believed that the various findings of the coupling loss factors in this article help for vibro-acoustic analysis of complicated structures.

Coupling Loss Factor

The prediction, by the statistical energy analysis (SEA) method, of transient vibration envelopes for coupled systems is investigated. The relation between the time-varying energy transferred between two coupled subsystems and time-varying energies of the subsystems is studied numerically and experimentally. These studies indicate that time-varying energy transmitted between two subsystems is related to the subsystem energies by an apparent time-varying coupling loss factor. It is shown that the apparent coupling loss factor approaches the asymptotic (or steady-state) coupling loss factor as response energies and transferred energies are integrated over progressively larger times. Both the apparent time-varying coupling loss factor and the asymptotic coupling loss factor, determined experimentally, are used in energy balance equations to predict the time-varying vibration envelopes of a system of two point-coupled plates and the results are compared. Although overall response predictions are similar, considerable differences are noted in individual frequency bands. However, no general method for a priori determination of the apparent time-varying coupling loss factor is suggested.
