Abstract
The purpose of our experiment is to learn the influence of stiffening on the acoustic response of steel plates. The investigation is carried out on a rectangular plate that is clamped in an opening (1.20 × 2 m2) between a reverberant room and a test room. The sound transmission loss is determined by using two different methods: a method that is based on the sound pressure measurement and the two‐microphone intensity method. The mean radiation efficiency is obtained by measuring the panel vibration velocity with a regular mesh. The measurements are made over a frequency range from 250 to 10 000 Hz for a diffuse field excitation. The following series of samples is tested: a 1.5‐mm‐thick‐steel plate; a plate reinforced with uniformly spaced tubular stiffeners; a plate reinforced with uniformly spaced line stiffeners; and a corrugated panel (the space between the corrugations is the same as the space between the stiffeners). The acoustic effect of variation of bending stiffness is discussed, and all the exper...
