A modal impedance-based statistical energy analysis for point, line, and area connected complex structural-acoustic systems is introduced. The proposed methodology is applied to perform mid- and high-frequency vibro-acoustic analysis of a cabinet model. The cabinet is composed of several composite plates with local mass variability simulating structural uncertainty, isotropic beams, and an acoustic enclosure. The method uses point mobilities, which are determined using modal parameters obtained by finite element method, to define line and area mobilities via dimension reducing principle. The methodology presented here is successfully verified by several numerical and experimental Monte Carlo computations. With this study, conventional statistical energy analysis is improved for mid-frequency vibro-acoustic analysis of complex systems.
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.
