A Numerical Approach to Calculate the Radiation Efficiency of Baffled Planar Structures Using the Far Field by Mario A. GONZÁLEZ-MONTENEGRO, Roberto JORDAN, Arcanjo LENZI, Jorge P. ARENAS

“…On the other hand, few works exist in which the calculation is done in the far field from near field data by the use of radiation matrices, possibly because the numerical integration becomes complicated and expensive due to large variations of directivity of the source. In this work a different approach is used, based in the so-called Propagating Matrix, which is useful for calculating the sound pressure of an arbitrary number of points into free space, and it can be employed to estimate the sound power by integrating over a finite number of pressure points over a hemispherical surface surrounding the vibrating structure. …”
