Abstract
This paper presents numerical simulation studies on the vibration and acoustic response-characteristics of an isotropic cylindrical shell under a thermal environment using commercial softwares ANSYS and SYSNOISE. First, the critical buckling temperature is obtained, followed by modal and harmonic response analyses considering pre-stress due to the thermal field in the cylindrical shell, with the critical buckling temperature as a parameter. The vibration response predicted is then used to compute the sound radiation. It is found that there is a significant change in the vibration mode shapes and ring frequency towards the lowest natural frequency with an increase in temperature. There is a sudden increase in overall sound power level near the critical buckling temperature and significant changes in mode shapes with temperature does not affect the overall sound power level.
