Abstract

Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) methods have been used in conjunction with energy accountancy ideas to develop a technique for the prediction of sound power radiation from machinery and other built-up structures. The methods enable calculation and optimization of the changes in noise radiation associated with modifications to individual parts of a coupled structure. As an initial exercise the techniques have been applied to predict the noise radiation from a coupled system composed of two plates welded at right angles. The predicted noise radiation is compared with values obtained from direct measurements by the surface velocity technique and agreement generally within 2 or 3 dB on overall level is obtained.
