Sound Insulation Performance of Finite Orthotropic Sandwich Panels

Article Preview

Abstract:

A theoretical model for calculating sound transmission loss (STL) of finite honeycomb sandwich panels is developed. The accuracy of the theoretical predictions is checked against experimental data, with good agreement achieved. Numerical analysis shows that increasing face sheet thickness can improve STL effectively, which is much more effective than increasing the core thickness. Core thickness and Youngs modulus of face sheet have evident effect on coincidence frequency, which should not be neglected when predicting STL.
