Acoustic Eigenanalysis with Radial Basis Functions

Abstract

The paper concerns the eigenanalysis of acoustic cavities with the use of radial basis functions (RBF). The Kansa collocation method was used for determination of the natural frequencies and eigenvectors of 1D, 2D and 3D acoustic elds. Due to validation analysis of the proposed method, in simple examples like 1D, 2D rectangle and 3D rectangular parallelepiped all calculated eigenferquency and eigenvectors were compared with exact (analytical) results. All results indicate that using of multiquadric radial basis functions provide a results with very high accuracy in comparison to analytical results. In the paper a new method for determining the shape parameter of the multiquadric radial basis functions is described.
