Abstract/Description

An acoustic compliant coating is applied on a fluid-loaded structure to control the radiated pressure, by decoupling the fluid medium from the vibrating surface. In this thesis the problem of an infinite cylindrical shell immersed in a fluid and entirely covered with an acoustic compliant layer, excited either by a ring force or an incident acoustic plane wave is considered.

Show moreAn acoustic compliant coating is applied on a fluid-loaded structure to control the radiated pressure, by decoupling the fluid medium from the vibrating surface. In this thesis the problem of an infinite cylindrical shell immersed in a fluid and entirely covered with an acoustic compliant layer, excited either by a ring force or an incident acoustic plane wave is considered. To model this problem two different approaches are used. The first one, which is available in the literature, is based on multi-layer shell theory. In this approach the scalar and the vector potential formulation are used to solve for the response and the scattering from the cylinder. The second approach is based on modeling the compliant layer by a normally reacting impedance layer on the surface of the shell. The velocity response Green's function of the shell is found using the hybrid numerical/analytical method. Results for the radiated and scattered pressure from the shell are also presented. The advantage of this second approach is that it can be used to model complex coating geometries. The results obtained with both approaches are compared.
