Control of structure-borne sound using periodically varying rigidity

Abstract

Subsonic modes may cause significant radiation when they scatter at a discontinuity. In this study, we suggest an approach to filter out subsonic waves before they reach the discontinuities on the structure. This is done by imposing a material (parametric) periodicity in a fluid-loaded structure, which leads to a strong stopband interaction under a Bragg condition. The interaction is analytically described by the coupled-mode equations, derived using the method of multiple scales. Numerical illustrations are given in terms of the transmission loss for different fluidloaded plates. The results can be utilized to suppress the undesired acoustic radiation generated by fluidloaded structures.
