Finite Element Analyses of Double-Wall Sandwich Structures with Viscoelastic Core
Publication: Computing in Civil and Building Engineering (2014)
Abstract
This paper presents a reduced order finite element model for sound transmission analysis through a double-wall sandwich structure with viscoelastic core inserted in an infinite baffle. The proposed model is derived from a multi-field variational principle involving structural displacement and acoustic pressure inside the fluid cavity. To solve the vibro-acoustic problem, the plate displacements are expanded as a modal summation of the plate's eigen functions in vacuo. Similarly, the cavity pressure is expanded as a summation over the modes of the cavity with rigid boundaries. Then, an appropriate reduced-order model is introduced. The structure is excited by a plane wave at the source side. An example of the normal sound transmission loss of a double-glazed window with laminated glass is shown. This example illustrates the accuracy and the versatility of the proposed reduced order model, especially in terms of prediction of sound transmission.
