Abstract A technique to predict the acoustic radiation characteristics of the predominant structural modes of an automobile tire is presented. A stationary tire is excited by an electrodynamic vibrator and, through conventional modal analysis methods, a description of the surface velocity is obtained. With this information, and a representation of the tire geometry, numerical procedures are used to predict the acoustic surface intensity and field pressure, for a given frequency of interest, based on a Helmholtz integral formulation. Predicted far field sound pressure levels are in close agreement with experimental measurements taken in an anechoic chamber. This provided the necessary validation of the technique.

A sound–structure interaction model is established to study the vibroacoustic characteristics of a semisubmerged cylindrical shell using the wave propagation approach (WPA). The fluid free surface effect is taken into account by satisfying the sound pressure release condition. Then, the far-field sound pressure is predicted with shell's vibration response using the stationary phase method. Modal coupling effect arises due to the presence of the fluid free surface. New approaches are proposed to handle this problem, i.e., diagonal coupling acoustic radiation model (DCARM) and column coupling acoustic radiation model (CCARM). New approaches are proved to be able to deal with the modal coupling problem efficiently with a good accuracy at a significantly reduced computational cost. Numerical results also indicate that the sound radiation characteristics of a semisubmerged cylindrical shell are quite different from those from the shell fully submerged in fluid. But the far-field sound pressure of a semisubmerged shell fluctuates around that from the shell ideally submerged in fluid. These new approaches can also be used to study the vibroacoustic problems of cylindrical shells partially coupled with fluid.

In order to investigate the acoustic radiation characteristics of underwater, a pipe casing was introduced and the effects of its main structural characteristics on underwater combustion acoustic radiation were studied by acoustic testing. The results show that the addition of the pipe casing significantly increased the sound pressure level of underwater pyrotechnic combustion, especially the peak of sound pressure level that was increased by 15.9 dB from 155.5 to 171.4 dB at the frequency of 125 and 100 Hz. But the addition of the pipe casing had little effect on the frequency. These results indicated that adding a pipe casing is effective for improving sound pressure level in underwater pyrotechnic combustion. An increase in nozzle diameter from 10 to 12.5 mm resulted in an increase of gas volume, so the peak of sound pressure level and broadband sound pressure level is higher. Changing the pipe casing direction to vertical downward will make the bubble formation period shorter, which will generate more bubbles and strong wake; the interaction between bubbles and wake results in a higher intensity of turbulence, which accounts for the coalescence and breakup of bubbles in the fluid. Besides, changing the diameter of pipe casing can be used to lower the frequency of underwater noise.

The characteristics of the sound radiation and vibrational power flow of the partially submerged cylindrical shell under a harmonic excitation are studied. The approximate acoustic boundary of the free surface is used to solve the fluid domain. The structure-fluid coupling equation is established based on the Flügge and Helmholtz theories. The far-field sound pressure is calculated and compared with that in infinite field. It is found that the far-field sound pressure presents large gap in different immersion status in the presence of the free surface while the results of the input power flow in these cases have less differences.

In order to investigate acoustic radiation characteristics of underwater pyrotechnic combustion, Hartmann acoustic generator was applied and its main structural parameters effecting acoustic radiation characteristics were studied by using underwater acoustic measurement system. Experimental studies have shown that, when Hartmann acoustic generator was applied, the sound pressure level of underwater pyrotechnic combustion increased significantly because of the strengthening of turbulence degree. The distance between the nozzle and the resonant cavity is an important factor of affecting acoustic radiation characteristics of Hartmann acoustic generator. When the resonant cavity was placed in the unstable pressure area, it could stimulate strong sound waves. On account of the resistance of the water, the combustion products speed of reaching resonant cavity drooped and the collision strength between the feedback combustion products and the newly generated products reduced. So when the distance was larger, the SPL(sound pressure level) was smaller. The SPL of underwater pyrotechnic combustion increased and the acoustic frequency moved to the low frequency with the depth of resonant cavity increased, which is consistent with the acoustic characteristics of Hartmann acoustic generator applied in air.

The vibration response and far-field sound radiation of a semisubmerged, finite cylindrical shell with low-frequency excitation are studied. The solution to this problem can be divided into two steps. The first step is to apply the wave propagation approach to determine the vibration response of the cylindrical shell. In the cylindrical coordinate system, the Flügge shell equations and Laplace equation are used to describe the cylindrical shell and surrounding fluid so that the vibration responses of the shell can be addressed analytically. The fluid free surface effect is taken into account by applying the sine series to force the velocity potential on the free surface to be zero. Furthermore, compared with the FEM (the finite element method), the present method is not only reliable but also effective. In the second step, the far-field sound radiation is solved by the Fourier transform technique and the stationary phase method in accordance with the vibration responses of the shell from the previous step. The boundary element method is applied to validate the reliability of the acoustical radiation calculation. The circumferential directivity of far-field sound pressure is discussed, and it is found that the maximum value of the sound pressure always appears directly under the structure when the driving frequencies are relatively low. Besides, in consideration of simplicity and less computation effort, the present method can be used for the rapid prediction of the vibration and far-field sound pressure of a semisubmerged cylindrical shell with low-frequency excitation.
