The influence of driving force location on acoustic power radiated from a cylindrical shell

The unbalanced operation of mechanical equipment in submarine will produce driving force, and the noise caused by the driving force is an important part of the submarine radiated noise. So it is significant to analyze the relationship between driving force location and radiated acoustic power. This paper builds a ring-stiffed cylindrical shell model for vibration analysis. Based on force radiation modes, the radiated acoustic power is numerically calculated and the variation law of radiated acoustic power is studied when the driving force location changes. For knowing more about the relationship between driving force location and radiated acoustic power, the concept of force radiation mode is adopted, and based on the mode shape the influence of changing driving force location on radiated acoustic power is analyzed From this, a more convenient technical method of effectively reducing the radiated acoustic power is provided.
