Solving the vibroacoustic equations of plates by minimization of error on a sample of observation points.

In the context of better understanding and predicting sound transmission through heterogeneous fluid-loaded aircraft structures, this paper presents a method of solving the vibroacoustic problem of plates. The present work considers fluid-structure coupling and is applied to simply supported rectangular plates excited mechanically. The proposed method is based on the minimization of the error of verification of the plate vibroacoustic equation of motion on a sample of points. From sampling comes an aliasing effect; this phenomenon is described and solved using a wavelet-based filter. The proposed approach is validated in presenting very accurate results of sound radiation immersed in heavy and light fluids. The fluid-structure interaction appears to be very well described avoiding time-consuming classical calculations of the modal radiation impedances. The focus is also put on different samplings to observe the aliasing effect. As perspectives sound radiation from a non-homogeneous plate is solved and compared with reference results proving all the power of this method.
