A semi-analytical methodology on the sound transmission of stiffened laminated plate under different reinforcement forms is developed to explore its sound insulation performance under the action of a plane sound wave load, in accordance with the classical laminated plate theory and in consideration of stiffener flexion and torsional motions. The formula of acoustic transmission loss is obtained by utilizing spatial harmonic expansion and the virtual work principle. Subsequently, the predicted values of proposed methodology are validated by the existing models. Eventually, some characteristic parameters are considered to investigate their effects on sound insulation behavior.
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.
