The Vibro-Acoustic Characteristics Analysis of the Coupled System between Composite Laminated Rotationally Stiffened Plate and Acoustic Cavities

In order to study vibro-acoustic characteristics between composite laminated rotationally stiffened plate and acoustic cavities in the coupled system, first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and modified Fourier series are used to construct a unified analysis model. The involved coupled systems primarily encompass three types: the coupled system between composite laminated rotationally stiffened plate and cylindrical-cylindrical cavities, spherical-cylindrical cavities, and conical-cylindrical cavities. First, the first-order shear deformation theory and the modified Fourier series are applied to construct the allowable displacement function of the composite laminated rotationally stiffened plate and the allowable sound pressure function of the acoustic cavities. Second, the energy functionals for the structural domain and the acoustic field domain are established, respectively. According to the continuity condition of the particle vibration velocity at the coupling boundary between the composite, laminated cylindrical shell and the enclosed cavity, the coupling potential energy between the stiffened plate and two acoustic cavities is introduced to obtain the energy functional of the coupled system. Third, the Rayleigh-Ritz method is utilized to solve the energy functional and, when combined with artificial virtual spring technology, the suggested theory may be used to study the vibro-acoustic characteristics of a coupled system with arbitrary elastic boundary conditions. Finally, based on validating the fast convergence and correctness of the model, this paper will analyze the impact of crucial parameters on vibro-acoustic characteristics. Furthermore, by incorporating internal point forces and point-sound source stimulation, a steady-state response analysis of the coupled system will be conducted. This research can give a theoretical foundation for the vibration and noise reduction of a vibro-acoustic coupling system.
