Composite structures are often used in aircraft because of advantages offered by a high strength to weight ratio. Sound transmission through an infinite laminated composite cylindrical shell is studied in the context of the transmission of airborne sound into aircraft interior. The shell is immersed in an external fluid medium and contains an internal fluid, and airflow in an external fluid medium moves with a constant velocity. The different parameters were used to see how laminate specification affected noise transmission. An exact solution is obtained by solving the vibration equation of laminated composite shell and acoustic wave equations simultaneously. Transmission losses (TLs) obtained from numerical solution are compared with those of other authors. The effects of different source condition, structural properties and flight conditions on TL are studied for a range of values, especially, incident angle of the plane wave, Mach number and flight altitude of aircraft, stack sequences, angle of warp and damping.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
