摘要

In order to theoretically predict and analyze the vibration response and acoustic radiation characteristics of a periodical orthogonally rib-stiffened plate,its vibro-acoustic equations of an underwater infinite model are established.The rib-stiffened plate is stimulated by a harmonic plane pressure.By using the Fourier transforms,Poisson's summation formula and space harmonic method,the structural vibration response and acoustic radiation pressure are expressed as functions of displacement harmonic components.Efficient semi-analytical methods are proposed in this work,and then approximate solutions for finite terms of the harmonic components are obtained by employing the truncation technique.Effects of the vibration response,rib spacing and torsional moment of the ribs on the radiation pressure are examined,and the validity of the present methods is also verified.Theoretical results show that the torsional moment of the ribs affects the modal frequencies of the stiffened plate,which should not be neglected in engineering applications with high precision requirement.With attachment of the ribs to the thin plate,its far field radiation pressure can be reduced in the low frequency range by adjusting rib spacing and cross sectional size of the ribs.
