Matched Asymptotic Expansions Solution for Low-Frequency Sound Radiation fromFluid-Loaded, Baffled Plates: Axisymmetric Case

摘要

The method of matched asymptotic expansions is used to investigate soundradiation from fluid loaded, baffled, thin elastic plates of dimensions which are compared to the acoustic wavelength. In this low frequency region both nearfield quantities (plate response and surface pressure) as well as farfield radiation properties are obtained. At low frequencies, the plate radiates sound like a monopole with the strength of it being proportional to the net volume velocity of the plate. By using a structural reciprocity relation, the method is shown to be consistent with respect to power balance up to leading order. The validity of the results is demonstrated by comparison with exact results.
