Experimental study on sound radiation time‐frequency characteristics of double cylindrical shell based on EMD

Purpose – Laying the acoustic decoupling material on the surface of underwater structures is an effective noise reduction technology. The underwater sound radiation experiment of finite stiffened double cylindrical shell with separate‐sound and decoupled tile is carried out with the aim of finding out the most effective laying condition.Design/methodology/approach – The segmentation power function interpolation method and vertex extreme value envelope continuation method are introduced into basic theory of empirical mode decomposition (EMD). The original measured sound pressure signals are decomposed to intrinsic mode function (IMF) group through EMD, and the high‐frequency components are filtered out. Because the mechanical noise of submarine is mainly at low frequency, the IMFs in low frequency are researched through power spectrum analysis. The noise reduction effects of different separate‐sound and decoupled tile laying conditions are compared.Findings – The sound pressure signal components' amplitude...
