“…Coupled finite element/boundary element methods have been presented by Jeans and Mathews [12][13][14] to study the vibrations of structures in an infinite acoustic medium. A variety of techniques to examine the sound radiation from slender bodies of revolution and spheroidal shells have often been developed with application to submarine hulls [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. Recently, Pan et al [27,28] studied an active control strategy to reduce the sound radiation from an axisymmetrically vibrating submarine vessel with conical and spherical end caps.…”
