Speed of sound – wavelength – frequency§Note that we solve the acoustic wave equation to model reflection,
scattering, absorption and thus we have to resolve each wave in its spatial pattern § important equation:
§ air: c≈340m/s, f=1000Hz → λ=0.34m§ water: c≈1500m/s, f=1000Hz → λ=1.5m
§ rule of thumb FEM, BEM: 6....10 linear elements per wavelength§ required elements for a domain of characteristic size a:
FEM (volume mesh): ~O(N3) BEM (surface mesh): ~O(N2)§ large acoustic FEM problem: 10M DOFs

Solving structural vibration problems with ANSYS
§modal analysis: § standard procedure for the dynamic assessment of a structure§ compute the potential vibration shapes & resonance frequencies of a
structure without considering any excitation§ a library of specific solvers for special tasks:
§ standard: block Lanczos (LANB), § large problems: PCG Lanczos (LANPCG) § large problems, up to 10000 modes (SNODE) § rotordynamics: incl. gyroscopic effects (QRDAMP) § damped structures: incl. damping matrix (QRDAMP, DAMP) § break-squeal analysis: incl. friction (QRDAMP,UNSYM)§ FSI coupled systems: incl. fluid (UNSYM)

Solving structural vibration problems with ANSYS
§ harmonic response analysis§ now we introduce an excitation, for
instance a point force F=1N specified over a frequency range 0…2500 Hz§ only distinct modes will contribute to the
structural response, e.g. the modes having a nodal line at the excitation point will not be excited§ use “mode superposition” instead of
inverting “full” matrices whenever possible because of efficiency§ usually the response amplitude at some
points is postprocessed versus frequency

Computation of structure-borne sound
§Acoustics is driven by velocity v=iΩu not by structural displacement u.§Acoustics assumes an ideal non-viscous fluid without shear layers. Thus
only the surface normal component of the structural vibration velocity is important.§Acoustics is not a local phenomenon like fatigue where we have to deal
with local notch stresses. Acoustics is a global phenomenon where the whole structure may contribute to sound radiation.§ thus let‘s try to get one integral quantity to describe the acoustic
fingerprint of a structure by simply averaging the normal surface velocities§For all this ideas apply the basic equation of machinery acoustics (cf.
textbooks)><= )(~)()(~ 2 fvAfcfP nσρ

Sound radiation is not only a function of velocity amplitude!Sound pressure p for two plates vibrating in the same spatial pattern, both with equal velocity amplitude v0 but with different frequencies. There is, however, a big difference in the sound radiation! Radiation efficiency σ!

Computation of air-borne sound (typical BEM workflow)1. structural FE model
2. modal model (FEM): eigenfrequencies, mode shapes, modal damping
4. Acoustic BEM solves wave equation, no fluid volume mesh required. a) BEM result: sound pressure p, sound power P, radiation efficiency σb) field point mesh result (half sphere): sound pressure p, intensity I
3. Harmonic frequency (FEM) response results (structure-borne sound): surface displacements

§BEM: divide only the surface.§ easy to create a mesh.
§The sound radiation problem can be handled completely§ no need for any particular
boundary condition like in FEM for exterior acoustic problems

§ANSYS FEM for structural vibration analysis, multiphysics analysis (e.g. electro-magnetic excitation)§SBSOUND (ANSYS macro library provided by CADFEM) for a quick
rough structure-borne sound assessment§WAON for really doing fully-fledged acoustic simulations§FMBEM is a very comfortable technique particularly for the new user
