The Effect of Plate Discretization on Accuracy of the Sound Radiation Efficiency Measurements by Karolina KOLBER, Anna SNAKOWSKA, Michał KOZUPA

“…This paper deals with the problem of the effect of discretization level and certain other parameters characterizing the measurement setup on accuracy of the process of determination of the sound radiation efficiency by means of the Discrete Calculation Method (DCM) described by HASHIMOTO (2001). The idea behind DCM consists in virtual division of an examined sound radiating structure into rectangular elements each of which is further assumed to contribute to the total radiation effect in the same way as a rigid circular piston having the surface area equal to this of the corresponding virtual element and vibrating in an infinite rigid baffle. …”
