Abstract
Non-axisymmetric structures (foundations, equipment etc.) have been extensively arranged in axisymmetric shells and proved to change the mechanism of vibration and sound radiation of the shell. To study the effect of non-axisymmetric internal structures, a hybrid analytic-numerical method is developed for vibro-acoustic characteristics analyses of a submerged cylindrical shell. The wave based method (WBM) and finite element method (FEM) are respectively employed to model the shell and internal structures. A precise coupling is carried out to assemble the shell and internal structures, which fully considers all six degree of freedoms (DOFs) at junctions between the two substructures. The acoustic pressure is described by the Helmholtz integral equation. According to the axisymmetric property of the shell, the surface integral is reduced into the curve integral. Subsequently, the final vibro-acoustic model is obtained by introducing the acoustic pressure into the dynamic equation of the coupled structure. The high accuracy of the present method is firstly demonstrated by FEM and boundary element method (BEM). Then by comparing vibro-acoustic responses of the shell with and without internal structures in wave domain, the effects of non-axisymmetric internal structures on vibro-acoustic characteristics of the shell are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.
Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.
The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
