Description:
This article presents the vibro-acoustic modeling and analysis of un-baffled laminated composite conical shell panels with varying thickness subjected to harmonic point load. The variation of thickness is considered to be unidirectional. A simulation model for the vibrating panel is developed using the commercial finite element package (ABAQUS). The natural frequencies are computed and compared with available published values for validation purpose. Then, the modal values are exported to LMS Virtual.Lab environment where an indirect boundary element approach has been adopted to extract the coupled vibro-acoustic responses. The sound power radiated by the vibrating structure computed using the present scheme is compared with the results available in the published literature. A comprehensive study has been performed to highlight the effect of thickness variation, excitation location, lamination scheme and support conditions on the acoustic radiation responses of the laminated coni...
