Element Method

The prediction of the spatial mean-square pressure distribution within enclosed high-frequency broadband sound fields is computationally intensive if determined on a frequency-by-frequency basis. Recently an energy-intensity boundary element method (EIBEM) has been formally developed. This method employs uncorrelated broadband directional energy sources to expeditiously predict such pressure distributions. The source directivity accounts for local correlation effects and specular reflection. The method is applicable to high modal density fields, but not restricted to the usual low-absorption, diffuse, and quasi-uniform assumptions. The approach can accommodate fully specular reflection, or any combination of diffuse and specular reflection. This boundary element method differs from the classical version in that element size is large compared to an acoustic wavelength and equations are not solved on a frequency-by-frequency basis. In the earlier EIBEM, the source strength and directivity associated with the energy sources, distributed over enclosure boundaries, were determined in an iterative manner and the directivity was limited to three terms of a Fourier expansion. Here, the original method is improved by eliminating the iteration and allowing for an unlimited number of terms in the Fourier expansion of the directivity function. For verification, the improved EIBEM is compared to experimental measurements and exact analytical solutions; excellent agreement is obtained.

In this paper, Energy Flow Boundary Element Method (EFBEM) was developed to predict the vibration behavior of one- and two-dimensional structures in the medium-to-high frequency ranges. Free Space Green functions used in the method were obtained from EFA energy equations. Direct and indirect EFBEMs were formulated for both one- and two-dimensional cases, and numerically applied to predict the energy density and intensity distributions of simple Euler-Bernoulli beams, single rectangular thin plates, and L-shaped thin plates vibrating in the medium-to-high frequency ranges. The results from these methods were compared with the EFA solutions to verify the EFBEM.
