Abstract

Structural-acoustic optimization using state-of-the-art evolutionary algorithms may require tens of thousands of system solutions, which can be time-limiting for full-scale systems. To reduce the time required for each function evaluation, parallel processing techniques are used to solve the system in a highly-scalable fashion. The system acoustic radiation is modeled as a stochastic problem using finite elements for the structural vibration and boundary elements for the fluid loading and acoustic analysis. The approach is demonstrated by minimizing the sound radiated from curved panel under the influence of a turbulent boundary layer in the presence of added point masses. Details of the point mass magnitudes and distribution are outcomes of the optimization. Solver scaling information is provided that demonstrates the utility of the parallel processing approach.
