The characteristics of vibrational power flow in an infinite laminated composite cylindrical shell filled with fluid excited by a circumferential line cosine harmonic force are investigated using wave propagation approach. The harmonic motions of the shell and the fluid filled in the shell are described by Love shell theory and acoustic wave equation, respectively. Under the driving force, the vibrational power flow input into the coupled system and the transmission of the power flow carried by different internal forces (moments) of the shell in the axial direction are established. Numerical computations are implemented to investigate the vibrational power flow input and its propagation. It is found that characteristics of the vibrational power flow vary with different circumferential mode orders and frequencies, and the presence of fluid in the shell significantly affects the vibration of the shell structure. Additionally, parametric investigations are carried out to study the effects of the fiber orientation, modulus ratio E11/E22, and thickness-to-radius parameter h/R on input power into the coupled system and propagation power along the shell axial direction. This work will provide some guidance for the vibration control of the laminated composite cylindrical shell.

The vibrational power flow in a submerged infinite cylindrical shell with internal rings and bulkheads are studied analytically. The harmonic motion of the shell and the pressure field in the fluid is described by Flügge shell theory and Helmholtz equation, respectively. The coupling condition on the outer surface of the shell wall is introduced to obtain the vibrational equation of this coupled system. Both four kinds of forces (moments) between rings and shell and between bulkheads and shell are considered. The solution is obtained in series form by expanding the system responses in terms of the space harmonics of the spacing of both ring stiffeners and bulkheads. The vibrational power flow and radiated sound power are obtained and the influences of various complicating effects such as the ring, bulkhead and fluid loading on the results are analyzed. The analytic model is close to engineering practice, which will be valuable to the application on noise and vibration control of submarines and underwater pipes.

The vibration power flow in a submerged infinite constrained layer damping (CLD) cylindrical shell is studied in the present paper using the wave propagation approach. Dynamic equations of the shell are derived with the Hamilton principle in conjunction with the Donnell shell assumptions. Besides, the pressure field in the fluid is described by the Helmholtz equation and the damping characteristics are considered with the complex modulus method. Then, the shell-fluid coupling dynamic equations are obtained by using the coupling between the shell and the fluid. Vibration power flows inputted to the coupled system and transmitted along the shell axial direction are both studied. Results show that input power flow varies with driving frequency and circumferential mode order, and the constrained damping layer will restrict the exciting force inputting power flow into the shell, especially for a thicker viscoelastic layer, a thicker or stiffer constraining layer (CL), and a higher circumferential mode order. Cut-off frequencies do not exist in the CLD cylindrical shell so that the exciting force can input power flow into the shell at any frequency and for any circumferential mode order. The power flow transmitted in the CLD cylindrical shell exhibits an exponential decay form along its axial direction, which indicates that the constrained damping layer has a good damping effect especially at middle or high frequencies.

The characteristics of the sound radiation and vibrational power flow of the partially submerged cylindrical shell under a harmonic excitation are studied. The approximate acoustic boundary of the free surface is used to solve the fluid domain. The structure-fluid coupling equation is established based on the Flügge and Helmholtz theories. The far-field sound pressure is calculated and compared with that in infinite field. It is found that the far-field sound pressure presents large gap in different immersion status in the presence of the free surface while the results of the input power flow in these cases have less differences.

By using space-harmonic analysis method, the characteristics of vibrational power flow and sound radiation of an infinite submerged cylindrical shell with internal rings and bulkheads are studied analytically. The harmonic motion of the shell and the pressure field in the fluid are described by Flügge shell equations and Helmholtz equation, respectively. The coupling condition on the outer surface of the shell wall is introduced to obtain the vibrational equation of this coupled system. Both four kinds of forces (moments) between rings and shell and between bulkheads and shell are considered. The solution is obtained in series form by expanding the system responses in terms of the space harmonics of the spacings of both ring stiffeners and bulkheads. The vibrational power flow and radiated sound power are obtained and the influences of various complicating effects such as the ring, bulkhead and fluid loading on the results are analyzed. The analytic model is close to engineering practice, which will give some guidelines for noise reduction of this kind structure.

In the previous investigations of the vibroacoustic characteristics of a submerged cylindrical shell in a flow field, the fluid viscosity was usually ignored. In this paper, the effect of fluid viscosity on the characteristics of vibration power flow in an infinite circular cylindrical shell immersed in a viscous acoustic medium is studied. Flügge’s thin shell theory for an isotropic, elastic, and thin cylindrical shell is employed to obtain the motion equations of the structure under circumferential-distributed line force. Together with the wave equations for the viscous flow field as well as continuity conditions at the interface, the vibroacoustic equation of motion in the coupled system is derived. Numerical analysis based on the additional-damping numerical integral method and ten-point Gaussian integral method is conducted to solve the vibroacoustic coupling equation with varying levels of viscosity. Then, the variation of the input power flow against the nondimensional axial wave number in the coupled system with different circumferential mode numbers is discussed in detail. It is found that the influence of fluid viscosity on the vibroacoustic coupled system is mainly concentrated in the low-frequency band, which is shown as the increase of the crest number and amplitude of the input power flow curves.
