Reliability-Based Optimization of Coupled Structural-Acoustic System with Random Parameters

Reliability-Based Optimization of the Coupled Structural-Acoustic System with Random Parameters

Structural noise is an important factor that endangers aircraft fatigue life and flight safety. It also has a negative effect on aircraft stealth performance and noise navigability. An optimal design of a structure-acoustic coupled system is an effective way to reduce noise and vibration. Due to the uncertainties that exist in the structural and acoustical parameters, the traditional determinis...

STRUCTURAL SYSTEM RELIABILITY-BASED OPTIMIZATION OF TRUSS STRUCTURES USING GENETIC ALGORITHM

Structural reliability theory allows structural engineers to take the random nature of structural parameters into account in the analysis and design of structures. The aim of this research is to develop a logical framework for system reliability analysis of truss structures and simultaneous size and geometry optimization of truss structures subjected to structural system reliability constraint....

Simultaneous Structural-control Optimization of a Coupled Structural-acoustic Enclosure

Simultaneous structural-control optimization of a coupled structural-acoustic enclosure is investigated in this paper. The whole system has a rectangular parallelepiped sound field of which the entire bottom face and the partial top face are covered with two elastic plates while the other boundaries are enclosed with rigid walls. Two point forces applied on the two plates are used as disturbanc...

Directional radiation pattern in structural-acoustic coupled system.

In this paper we demonstrate the possibility of designing a radiator using structural-acoustic interaction by predicting the pressure distribution and radiation pattern of a structural-acoustic coupling system that is composed by a wall and two spaces. If a wall separates spaces, then the wall's role in transporting the acoustic characteristics of the spaces is important. The spaces can be cate...
