Abstract

In this paper, a U-shaped frame structure is investigated for sound radiation reduction based on energy conversion in the coupled vibration mode. The proposed frame structure has been well-designed in a way that displays a sway mode to achieve energy conversion. The mode shapes and radiation sound pressure of the proposed frame structure are validated through an analytical method based on Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, mode superposition method and Rayleigh’s integration. There is a good agreement between the results predicted by the finite element method and experimental data. The analytical results indicate that the sway mode shows a lower radiation efficiency compared to that of the first mode of a simply supported beam. Moreover, it also has been found directly that the proposed structure shows a lower sound radiation level compared with the simply supported beam. This research provides a prospective method for noise reduction based on coupled vibration energy conversion without the need for complex design and construction. © International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration (IIAV), 2024
