The Effect Of Edge Constraints On The Surface Normal Impedance Of Layers Of Elastic Porous Materials, N.-M. Shiau, W. Desmet, J Stuart Bolton Nov 1996

The Effect Of Edge Constraints On The Surface Normal Impedance Of Layers Of Elastic Porous Materials, N.-M. Shiau, W. Desmet, J Stuart Bolton

Publications of the Ray W. Herrick Laboratories

A two-dimensional model for wave propagation in elastic porous materials has been used to investigate the effects of edge constraints on the surface normal impedance of elastic porous materials when placed in standing wave tubes. The elastic porous material model used was based on the Biot theory and takes into account the three wave-types known to propagate within elastic porous materials. Previous work has indicated that the acoustical behavior of typical noise control foams can be very sensitive to small mounting details. Consequently, it is reasonable to expect that the surface normal impedance measured by placing foam in a standing …

Extension Of The Receptance Technique To Accommodate Distributed Connections, Bryce K. Gardner, J Stuart Bolton Feb 1996

Extension Of The Receptance Technique To Accommodate Distributed Connections, Bryce K. Gardner, J Stuart Bolton

Publications of the Ray W. Herrick Laboratories

The receptance techniques has been used most frequently to analyze the vibrational response of structures that may be idealized as a set of substructures connected at one or more discrete points. However, the receptance technique can also be used to analyze the response of structures connected along particular types of line junctions. In this paper, an extension of the the receptance technique is presented that makes use of a generalized Fourier series approach to allow the evaluation of both the free and forced response of systems comprising components connected through spatially distributed junctions. The present extension is shown to reduce …
