Experimental Study Using Nearfield Acoustic Holography of Sound Transmission through Fuselage Sidewall Structures

摘要

The reduction of cabin noise in lightweight, propeller-driven aircraft is an especially difficult problem in noise control. Nearfield Acoustic Holography (NAH) was used to determine the mode of vibration and acoustic intensity for panels which differed in: construction (number of stiffening ribs, size of stifening ribs, construction material, and panel surface curvature); boundary support condition (free edge condition or clamped edge condition); and mode of excitation (structural-borne forces or airborne forces). The different samples of aircraft panels are described and the measurement of the natural response frequencies was discussed under various boundary support and excitation conditions. The results of the NAH measurements are presented.
