Abstract

This study presents the performance and the potential use of an isogeometric indirect variational boundary element method (IGiBEM) for industrial acoustics applications. The method is validated against semi-analytical frequency response solutions for a basic problem. After being validated, the performance of the IGiBEM is tested and benchmarked against the conventional indirect boundary element method (iBEM) for geometrically complex industrial applications. A vibrating car hood and a loudspeaker model with a vibrating woofer are used as industrial numerical tests. A non-isoparametric iBEM is included in the benchmarks to distinguish the contribution of the discretization versus the geometrical errors to overall error. The tests indicate that the geometrical errors play a more important role in problems involving complex geometries and high-frequency excitations. The study also demonstrates the advantages of IGiBEM over the conventional iBEM regarding the accuracy and computational efficiency for geometrically complex problems.
