This paper introductions a Chebyshev spectral method for the vibroacoustic analysis of fluid-loaded rectangular plates incorporating nonlinear energy sinks (NES). The proposed method employs Chebyshev polynomials for the spatial discretization of both structural displacements and the radiated acoustic pressure, achieving high accuracy with relatively few degrees of freedom. An iterative approach is used to solve for the eigenpairs of a rectangular plate submerged in a heavy fluid medium, and the obtained modal components are then incorporated into the reduced-order model of the fluid-loaded rectangular plate with NES. The harmonic balance method (HBM) is employed to efficiently determine the forced nonlinear response of the system. To validate the accuracy of the proposed approach, the model is first verified for fluid-loaded baffled rectangular plates equipped with a tuned mass damper (TMD) by comparing the results with reference solutions from the literature. For NES-equipped plates, Runge-Kutta methods combined with the Rayleigh integral formula are used as a benchmark for comparison. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology in capturing the vibroacoustic behavior of NES-equipped fluid-loaded plates. Results indicate that the NES effectively suppresses vibration and reduces radiated sound pressure, without introducing additional resonance peaks. However, excessive NES stiffness can weaken noise reduction despite enhanced local vibration control. These findings confirm the method’s accuracy and computational efficiency, providing a powerful tool for nonlinear vibroacoustic analysis in heavy fluid environments.
