EXPERIMENTAL AND COMPUTATIONAL CAPABILITIES FOR STRUCTURAL ACOUSTICS

摘要

In this paper we present a discussion of various experimental and computational methods for evaluating structure-acoustics interactions. The driving applications are discussed, along with the potential uses of the capabilities. An overview is given of Salinas, a massively parallel structural dynamics code that has been developed at Sandia, and its embedded structural acoustic capabilities. An acoustic wave tube is described, which is to be used for validating structural acoustic computations. Procedures for testing the tube and conducting structural acoustic experiments with the wave tube are suggested.
