A review on design optimization approaches of coupled-structural acoustic systems

Abstract

A survey on current design and optimization of coupled-structural acoustic systems (OCSAS) is presented. It reinforces different terminologies and methods in this field. General concepts are shortly defined, and literatures are reviewed for further investigation. Although surveys of optimization for coupled-structural acoustic systems are common, they are frequently incomplete in terms of extensive scope general applicability to engineering design. For instance, many surveys only target determined applications while others only mention the critical literature in the field. Outcomes are drawn that represent often-neglected ideas and applicability to engineering problems. It has been found that no single approach is outstanding. On the contrary, the selection of a determined method depends on the type of knowledge that is supplied in the problem, the user's preferences, the solution necessaries, etc. Also, new emerging research fields are introduced.
