THE RADIATION MECHANICALnIMPEDANCE OF MULTIZONE RADIATORSnIN A PROLATE SPHEROIDAL BAFFLE

摘要

The velocity potential of many zonal radiators in a rigid prolate spheroidal baffle each vibrating with a given velocity amplitude and phase is derived analytically. The total mechanical radiation impedance of the array is then derived from the velocity potential by a series of integrations. Individual elements of this total are identified as the self and mutual radiation impedance of two ring zones. Procedures for simplifying numerical computation are discussed. Actual computations are reserved for a companion report.
