Abstract
This paper compares the vibroacoustic behavior of a tapered annular circular plate having different parabolic varying thickness with different combinations of rectangular and concentric stiffener patches keeping the mass of the plate and the patch constant for a clamped-free boundary condition. Both numerical and analytical methods are used to solve the plate. The finite element method (FEM) is used to determine the vibration characteristic and both Rayleigh integral and FEM is used to determine the acoustic behavior of the plate. It is observed that a Case II plate with parabolic decreasing–increasing thickness variation for a plate with different stiffener patches shows reduction in frequency parameter in comparison to other cases. For acoustic response, the variation of peak sound power level for different combinations of stiffener patches is investigated with different taper ratios. It is investigated that Case II plate with parabolic decreasing–increasing thickness variation for an unloaded tapered plate as well as case II plate with 2 rectangular and 4 concentric stiffeners patches shows the maximum sound power level among all variations. However, it is shown that the Case III plate with parabolically increasing–decreasing thickness variation with different combinations of rectangular and concentric stiffeners patches is least prone to acoustic radiation. Furthermore, it is shown that at low forcing frequency, average radiation efficiency with different combinations of stiffeners patches remains the same, but at higher forcing frequency a higher taper ratio causes higher radiation efficiency, and the radiation peak shifts towards the lower frequency and alters its stiffness as the taper ratio increases. Finally, the design options for peak sound power actuation and reduction for different combinations of stiffener patches with different taper ratios are suggested.
