SummaryThe purpose of this course is two fold: (1) to introduce

the fundamental physics underlying the creation of sound

from vibrating structures, and (2) to introduce moderncomputational methods for predicting and controlling thesound field. The physics of sound generation arepresented. The emphasis is on understanding and basicprinciples, with a modest amount of theoreticaldevelopment. Important concepts such as coincidence,radiation efficiency, intensity and directivity arediscussed and applied to a variety of structures (e.g.planar sources, plates and cylindrical shells). Soundpropagation inside pipes is also presented along withmethods of attenuating and reflecting acoustic energy.

Numerical techniques for predicting and controllingsound constitute the second half of the course. For planarstructures the Rayleigh integral equation is presented andapplied to a variety of problems. Transfer and

Impedance matrix techniques can be used to calculateplane wave sound propagation in rigid and elastic pipingsystems (including fluid-elastic coupling.) At highfrequencies the method of Statistical Energy Analysis isvery useful for identifying dominant sound transmissionpaths from vibrating structures. SEA is also anextremely easy analysis tool for evaluating the effect ofdesign modifications on radiated power. At lowfrequency where individual modes control radiated soundthe Helmholtz integral can be utilized. A recentcomputational method that utilizes the capabilities offinite elements is an infinite fluid element. This elementcaptures the physics of both the near field and far field.More importantly, the infinite element avoids thetraditional inside eigenvalue problem associated with the

HIE method and is very computationally efficient sincethe matrices are well banded. Use of this element in theSARA finite element code is discussed.

Who Should Attend

The material presented in this course is very well suited for engineers

who wish to obtain both a good understanding of the physics of soundgeneration and knowledge of computational tools for predicting andcontrolling radiated sound.
