Abstract
This work presents an application of principle velocity patterns in the analysis of the structural acoustic design optimization of an eight ply composite cylindrical shell. The approach consists of performing structural acoustic optimizations of a composite cylindrical shell subject to external harmonic monopole excitation. The ply angles are used as the design variables in the optimization. The results of the ply angle design variable formulation are interpreted using the singular value decomposition of the interior acoustic potential energy. The decomposition of the acoustic potential energy provides surface velocity patterns associated with lower levels of interior noise. These surface velocity patterns are shown to correspond to those from the structural acoustic optimization results. Thus, it is demonstrated that the capacity to design multi-ply composite cylinders for quiet interiors is determined by how well the cylinder be can designed to exhibit particular surface velocity patterns associated with lower noise levels.
