【 摘 要 】

The purpose of this work is to characterise the vibro-acoustic behaviour of rectangular flat panels reinforced by “unconventional” stiffeners. Such panels are being increasingly employed in the aircraft industry in the case of composite fuselage, so that the assessment of the most efficient and accurate numerical techniques and modelling procedures to correctly predict their dynamic and acoustic behaviour is required. To this end, an analytical method, available from literature, has been initially employed to investigate on the main attributes of sound transmission loss properties of stiffened panels driven by an acoustic diffuse field excitation. Based on existing commercial codes, different numerical techniques have been implemented and deeply examined to assess their potentiality and restrictions. Among them, the Hybrid method has been eventually identified as the best compromise in terms of accuracy and computational effort. The drawbacks of deterministic and even Hybrid numerical approaches for medium–high frequency vibro-acoustic analysis when dealing with large structures, make use of the pure SEA approach compulsory. In particular, a refined tuning of a specific feature made available within the employed SEA analysis environment when dealing with reinforced shells is implemented as a potential solution to overcome the complexity in correctly modelling the examined unconventionally stiffened panels.
