Abstract The aim of this paper is to study the sound radiation by a cylindrical shell internally coupled with mechanical structures of high modal density. The model is based on a mobility technique. The numerical results show a smoothing of the cylinder’s velocity and radiation spectra associated with an increase of the apparent damping. The use of the S.E.A. method allows us to calculate an additional structural damping of the shell, equivalent to the effect of the internal structures.

A key assumption of conventional Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) theory is that, for two coupled subsystems, the transmitted power from one to another is proportional to the energy differences between the mode pairs of the two subsystems. Previous research has shown that such an assumption remains valid if each individual subsystem is of high modal density. This thus limits the successful applications of SEA theory mostly to the regime of high frequency vibration modeling. This paper argues that, under certain coupling conditions, conventional SEA can be extended to solve the mid-frequency vibration problems where systems may consist of both mode-dense and mode-spare subsystems, e.g. ribbed-plates.

An analytical study on the vibration and acoustic radiation from an axially stiffened cylindrical shell in water is presented. Supposing that the axial stiffeners interact with the cylindrical shell only through radial forces, the reaction forces on the shell from stiffeners can be expressed by additional impedance. The coupled vibration equation of the finite cylindrical shell with axial stiffening is derived; in this equation additional impedance caused by the axial stiffeners is added. As a result, the vibration and sound radiation of the shell are dependent on the mechanical impedance of the shell, the radiation sound impedance, and the additional impedance of the axial stiffeners. Based on the numerical simulation, it is found that the existence of axial stiffeners decreases the sound radiation and surface average velocity, whereas it increases the radiation factor. The characteristics of the acoustic radiation can be understood from the simulation with good results, which show that the presented methodology can be used to study the mechanism of the acoustic radiation of the complicated cylindrical shell and to optimize its design.

With the purpose of clarifying the impact of a model of a longitudinal plate rib on the excitation of vibrations of a cylindrical shell and sound radiation, research of this model was performed. The article shows that the longitudinal plate enforced inside the cylinder may be an efficient mean for the reduction of vibrations and sound radiated from the cylindrical shell at separate shell resonance frequencies.

This paper studies the influence of acoustic coating to the underwater sound radiation characteristic of a double hull cylindrical shell by the Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) method. Influence of covering density and laying location of acoustic coating to the underwater sound radiation characteristic of the double hull cylindrical shell structure are discussed. Study shows that low covering density of acoustic coating will cause “sound leaking” phenomena, sound will leak out from the uncovered area of the double hull cylindrical hull structure and radiate into the surrounding water, which harms the underwater noise reduction performance of the acoustic coating; however, the noise reduction capacity of the acoustic coating improves gradually as the covering density increases. Besides, laying location of acoustic coating also impact the underwater sound radiation performance of the double hull cylindrical shell structure; inner hull covered with acoustic coating is better than the outer hull covered from the noise treatment point of view
