This study applies shear deformation shallow shell theory to inspect the acoustic behavior of laminated composite infinitely long doubly curved shallow shells subject to a radiating oblique plane sound wave. Herewith, a procedure is developed to investigate sound transmission loss through this shell, clarified as a ratio of incident power to transmitted power in the existence of mean flow. In a further step, displacements are developed as a linear combination of the thickness coordinate to designate an analytical solution based on shear deformation shallow shell theory. Consequently, an exact solution for sound transmission loss is brought forward by combining acoustic wave equations as a result of wave propagation through this shell with doubly curved shell equations of motion. Afterwards, the accuracy of the present formulation (shear deformation shallow shell theory) is determined by comparing the achieved results with those available in the literature and some assumptions associated with the geometric specifications of the plate are investigated. Finally, because of the remarkable achievement of the current formulation results in reduction of noise transmission into such structures, some effective parameters on sound transmission loss are used in numerical results, to solve this problem.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the sound insulation of double-leaf panels. In practice, double-leaf panels require a stud between two surface panels. To simplify the analysis, a stud was modeled as a spring and mass. Studies have indicated that the stiffness of the equivalent spring is not a constant and varies with the frequency of sound. Therefore, a frequency-dependent stiffness curve was used to model the effect of the stud to analyze the sound insulation of a double-leaf panel. First, the sound transmission loss of a panel reported by Halliwell was used to fit the results of this study to determine the stiffness of the distribution curve. With this stiffness distribution of steel stud, some previous proposed panels are also analyzed and are compared to the experimental results in the literature. The agreement is good. Finally, the effects of parameters, such as the thickness and density of the panel, thickness of the stud and spacing of the stud, on the sound insulation of double-leaf panels were analyzed.
