Abstract
A theoretical model is presented to investigate the sound transmission through a thin-walled truncated circular conical shell excited by an oblique incident plane sound wave, which impinges on the outer surface of the shell. Love’s theory is used to implement the governing equations of the shell motion, and a convergent power series solution is applied to obtain the exact dynamic response of the shell. In order to calculate the acoustic pressure loadings acting on the shell surfaces, the shell is divided into several narrow segments which can be considered to be locally cylindrical. At first, the model predictions are compared with their experimental and analytical counterparts reported in the literature. Then, the effects of crucial design parameters including different boundary conditions at the ends of the shell, cone angle, incident sound wave angle, length, radius, thickness and material properties of the shell, and the material properties of the fluid media are studied on the characteristics of the sound transmission loss. The proposed model can provide an effective tool in the acoustic design stage of the truncated circular conical shells.
