Abstract

Globally, customer appreciation and demand for quieter products has driven noise control engineers to develop efficient and quieter products in a relatively short time. In the vehicles and ship industry, noise has become an important attribute because of the competitive market and increasing customer awareness. Noise reduction is often achieved through structural modifications by typical approaches. In the present paper, author describes a fundamental study on optimum design of curvature, Bezier curve, and rib attachment to reduce noise from simple panel using a genetic algorithm(GA). The acoustic optimization procedure employed p?FEM for structural analysis, the Rayleigh integral method for acoustic analysis and the GA for searching optimum design. In the optimization procedure, the objective function to be minimized is the average sound power radiated from an objective structure over a given frequency range 0~300 ㎐.
