Experimental investigations to determine the effect of curvature on dynamic response and fatigue resistance of simple panels exposed to broad-band and discrete frequency acoustical excitation are presented in detail. Descriptions of (a) modes-shape studies, (b) response to discrete frequency and broad-band excitation, and (c) fatigue tests are given. Particular emphasis is placed on evaluating the role that panel curvature plays in resisting broad-band acoustically induced fatigue. [Research was sponsored by the U. S. Air Force.]
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.
