Abstract
This paper aims to investigate the applicability and reliability of an experimental method measuring the underwater acoustic radiation efficiencies of floating plate structures in a reverberant water tank. For the purpose, an experimental method for estimating the acoustic power of a source in a reverberant sound field has been introduced and applied to measure the acoustic radiation efficiencies of two floating box-type plate structures excited by a logarithmic sine sweeping force in a water tank. The validity of the adopted experimental method has been examined by the comparison with numerical results obtained by a fully coupled vibroacoustic analysis with an infinite radiation boundary condition for the structures. From the results, it is confirmed that the experimental method for measuring the underwater acoustic radiation efficiency of floating plate structures in a reverberant water tank is reliably applicable for high-frequency ranges above the Schroeder frequency of the water tank.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering provides a forum for engineers and scientists from a wide range of disciplines to present and discuss various phenomena in the utilization and preservation of ocean environment. Without being limited by the traditional categorization, it is encouraged to present advanced technology development and scientific research, as long as they are aimed for more and better human engagement with ocean environment. Topics include, but not limited to: marine hydrodynamics; structural mechanics; marine propulsion system; design methodology & practice; production technology; system dynamics & control; marine equipment technology; materials science; underwater acoustics; ocean remote sensing; and information technology related to ship and marine systems; ocean energy systems; marine environmental engineering; maritime safety engineering; polar & arctic engineering; coastal & port engineering; subsea engineering; and specialized watercraft engineering.
