Vibration Analysis of a Shell Structure by Finite Element Method

Abstract:

Plate-shell structures, especially cylindrical shells and spherical shells, are widely used in engineering fields, such as aircraft and tanks, missiles, submarines, ships, hydraulic pumps, infusion pipelines and gas pipelines, and so on. These structures are usually in a fluid medium, which are related to the structure fluid-solid coupling and acoustic radiation field. As many experiments show that enclosed air in a thin walled structure, just like the violin, affects some modes of vibration significantly, air coupling between vibrating sides of the structure cannot be neglected. In order to explore the sound pressure distribution of vibrational frequencies, this paper, considering the material anisotropy, analyzes a typical complex shell structure of the violin by finite element method, including acoustic-structure coupling analysis and post-processing, especially sound pressure vibration frequency extraction. Finally, we get the conclusion that the distribution of sound pressure vibration frequency is similar to the normal distribution.
