Description
Summary:This paper presents a method to predict the acoustic characteristics and steady-state responses of a flexible plate strongly coupled with rectangular cavity based on energy principle theory and Legendre polynomial series. First, the displacement of the plate and the sound pressure in the cavity are constructed in the form of two-dimensional and three-dimensional Legendre polynomial series, respectively. The unknown expansion coefficients are obtained using the Rayleigh–Ritz technique based on the energy expressions for the strongly coupled plate-cavity system. The accuracy, convergence, and efficiency of the present method are verified by comparing with the results available in the FEM and literature. Finally, the effects of the structural boundary conditions, cavity depth, and structural length-width ratio on the coupling natural frequency and the steady-state responses under three excitation conditions are analyzed.
