Vibration and Acoustic Radiation from Submerged Spherical Double-Shell

【Abstract】 Based on the motion differential equations of vibration and acoustic coupling system for a thin elastic spherical double-shell with several elastic plates attached to the shells, in which Dirac-δ functions are employed to introduce the forces and moments applied by the attachments, and by means of expanding field quantities as the Legendre series, a semi-analytic solution is derived for the solution to the vibration and acoustic radiation from a submerged spherical double-shell. This solution has a satisfying computational effectiveness and precision for arbitrary frequency range excitation. It is concluded that the internal plates attached to shells can change significantly the mechanical and acoustical characteristics of shells, and make the coupling system have a very rich resonance frequency spectrum. Moreover, the present method can be used to study the acoustic radiation mechanism of the type of structure.更多还原
