Mechanical self-noise prediction of sonar parts based on equivalent excitation spectrum theory

Abstract

The mechanical self-noise of the sonar is one of the important factors affecting the performance of the sonar. Therefore, studying the prediction of the mechanical self-noise of the sonar is of far-reaching significance for the effective performance of sonar detection. In this paper, the theoretical modeling of the propagation channel is carried out, and the transfer characteristics of the excitation of the vibration source device into the sonar platform region are numerically simulated. A method for predicting the mechanical self-noise of the sonar part based on the equivalent excitation spectrum analysis is proposed.
