1. Introduction

Initially limited to the transmission of airborne noise into an aircraft fuselage, noise transmission-relatedproblems have received significant attention, particularly since noise levels in modem launchers exceedacceptable safety criteria payloads. A cylindrical shell is an important basic structural element widelyused in the aerospace industry. The reduction of noise transmitted into such structures is particularlychallenging due to the high excitation levels, the complex nature of the disturbance, and the severe massand volume constraints imposed on the design of the treatments. However, the structural-acousticcoupling problem for this kind of shell has still been an important subject in the area of vibro-acousticanalysis up to now.

The most advanced noise transmission analyses were briefly reviewed by Dowell [1] with respect to allflight vehicles. Smith [2] presented a theoretical study of transmission of sound energy through a thin,isotropic elastic cylindrical shell from an oblique plane wave excitation. To some extent, Koval [3-5]extended Smith's results to different kinds of shells. He systematically introduced internal pressurization,orthotropic and composite shells into his analysis. Blaise et al. [6] then extended Koval's work to consideran orthotropic shell excited by an oblique plane sound wave with two independent incident angles. Tanget al. [7] considered an infinite cylindrical sandwich shell excited by an oblique plane sound wave withtwo independent incident angles. Analytical and experimental studies are conducted by Kim & Lee [8] tounderstand the characteristics of sound transmission through the infinitely long circular cylindrical shell.The authors have recently studied analytical model of sound transmissions through laminated compositecylindrical shells [9]. In this model, Parameters were varied to see how laminate specification could affectnoise transmission.

In most of analytical studies surveyed above, a simplified shell theory, typically bending approximationsor Donnel-Mushtari equations, were used to model the shell motion. In addition, in most of them, theequation of motion in the transverse direction was used to describe the shell motion and in-planeequations were completely neglected, which may not be valid in general. In some cases, numbers of termsused in the series solution were apparently insufficient to provide converged solutions, which could haveaffected the very large TLs estimated results. During the past decades, sound transmission through doublewalls separated by an air gap has been investigated by many researchers [10-18] since the constructionwill produce both noise attenuation and thermal insulation. These investigations have shown that doublewalls can increase transmission loss over a single wall. Among these studies, most of them assumed thedouble walls are flat with absorbent materials. Only a few focused on the study of double walls consistingof two concentric cylindrical shells. However, these investigations are mostly limited to the study of twoisotropic shells or using finite element method for composite double walled cylinders.

The objective of this paper is to calculate TLs of infinite orthotropic double-walled cylindrical shell witheffect of external airflow. Since, classical shell theory is applicable when the thickness is smaller than(l/20)th of the smallest of the wave lengths and/or radii of curvature [19], an exact solution was obtainedin a series form using Sanders equations, the classical shell vibration equations, without ignoring any ofthree directions of the shell. The shell is assumed to be immersed in a fluid media and excited by anincident oblique plane sound wave. Acoustic wave equations and shell equations, which are coupled withone another, are solved simultaneously. To make sure an enough number of modes are included in theanalysis, the convergence checking is performed. Finally, the numerical results are used to show theeffects of air gap specifications, Orthotropy ratio, geometrical properties, Mach number, material andfluid properties.

2. Model Specification

The specific problem studied is that of an oblique plane wave incident upon a flexible orthotropic double­walled thin cylindrical shell (see Fig. 1) which is typical in many studies [7,8]. A plane wave is incidentwith an angle YJ (measured from the axis of cylinder) from outside to an infinite cylinder whose interior

of the shell is assumed to be entirely absorbing so that only inward-propagating waves is assumed toexist. The incident wave is a plane wave whose rays are traveling on plane parallel to the x-z plane (i.e. itapproaches from the e= 7t direction). In the analysis, all waves will be assumed to have the samedependence on the axial co-ordinate z. There is a uniform airflow at velocity V in the external fluidmedium. Rl'R Z,h] and h z indicate the radii and thickness of the shells, in which the subscripts 1 and 2

represent the inner and outer shells, respectively. The fluid media in the external, in-between, and theinternal space are defined by the density and the speed of sound: {Pl'cJ, {pz,czland

{P3' c3}respectively. properties of the shells are defined by the density, young's modulus, and the

Poisson ratio: ,,~, E], v] }, ,,~ ,Ez,V z}.

3. Vibro-acoustic Equations

Due to the existence of airflow the external pressure, which is the summation of the incident wave p I and

the reflected wave p~ , satisfies the acoustic wave equation [20]:

(1)

where V is the gradient operator in the cylindrical coordinate system.

In the annular space between the shells, the pressure is pz = p; + p~ , where p; is the transmitted wave

through the external shell, and p ~ is the reflected wave from the internal shell, which satisfies the

acoustic wave equation.

(2)

In the internal cavity, the acoustic pressure of the transmitted wave p~ satisfies the acoustic wave

equation:

Again, it should be noted that the subscripts 1 and 2 denote the variables associated with the inner shelland the outer shell. The coupling effect between the shell and the acoustic medium is represented by thepressure terms in the shell equation [Eq. (7, 8)].

4- Boundary conditions

On the internal and external shell surfaces, the particle velocities of the acoustic media in the normaldirection have to be equal to the normal velocity of the shell [8]. These results are shown in the followingequations [25].

5- Solution Procedure

The incidence plane wave can be represented by

pI = Po exp[j(rot - k 1x X - k1Zz)]

where Po is the amplitude of the incident wave and

(26)

(27)

where k 1 is the wave number in the moving medium. This incidence wave propagates in the moving

medium according to the wave equation

(28)

Substitution of equation (26) into equation (28) yields

where, M I = (V/ CI) is the Mach number of the external flow.

Using the relation between the cartesian and cylindrical coordinates (x = f cos e), Eq. (26) yields:

pI = Po exp[j(rot - k1Zz) - jkIrfcos9]

(29)

(30)

where k lr = k Ix .Using the mathematical relation between the exponential, the trigonometric and Bessel

function, the exponential term in equation (30) can be also written as [26]:

00

exp[-jkl,fcos8] = rEn (_j)n I n(k1,f)cos[n8]n=O

where En is the Neumann factor given by

(31)

E ={In 2

n=On ~l

(32)

In addition, Jnis the Bessel function of the first kind of integer order n. Therefore, an incident oblique

plane wave pI (Fig. 1) can be expressed as the product of an axial traveling wave and an infmite sum of

cylindrical waves [3]:

pI (r,z, 9, t) = Po fEn (-jt Jn(k\rr)cos[n9] exp[j(rot - k1Zz)]n=O

(33)

where j =~ , n=O, 1, 2, 3 ... and l1J is the angular frequency.

Because the traveling waves in the acoustic media and inside the shell are driven by the incident-travelingwave, the wave numbers (or trace velocities) in the z direction should match throughout the system,

thereforek 3z =k 2z =k\z. Considering the Eqs. (27) and (29), the wave numbers in the external, middle

and internal media can be written as:

(34)

k2=~' k2z =k!Z' k2r=~k;-k;z=(~)1-(C2/cJ2cOS2Y)(1+MICOSYJ2]Yz (35)

k, =:" k" =k,,, k" =~k: - k:, =(:,}-(e,/e,)' cos' y.I(1 + M, cosy,)']!' (36)

The waves radiated from the shell to the outside and into the cavity,pf ,p~, p; andp~, can be

represented as:

pf(r,z,9, t) = fp~ H~ (k1rr)cos[n9]expu(rot -k\zz)]n=O

p; (r, z, 9, t) = fP;n H~ (k2rr)cos[n9] expu(rot - k\zz)]n=O

p~ (r,z,9, t) = fP~n H~ (k 2r r) cos[n9] expu(rot - k\zz)]n=O

(37)

(38)

(39)

p; (r, z, 9, t) = IP;n H~ (k 3rr) cos[n9] expu(mt - klzz)]n=O

(40)

where, H~ and H~ are respectively the Hankel functions of the first and second kind of integer order n.

The fonner represents the incoming wave and the second the outgoing wave. Three components of theshell displacements can be expressed as:

'"wO(z 9 t) = "wo cos[n9]ej(mt-klzZ)

It is convenient to represent the solution in TL for the design purpose [8]. TL can be defmed as the ratioof the incoming and transmitted sound powers per unit length of the cylinder [27].

where, W T is the transmitted power flow per unit length of the shell.

this range is totally scattered with no transmission into the shell interior.

The integration in Eq. (62) is conducted numerically by the Simpson's rule using an integration step-size

of 2° [29]. The average TL av shown in Fig. 2. is given as [28]:

7- Convergence algorithm

As shown in Eqs. (33) and (37)-(46), The pressure and displacement terms are expressed in series form.Therefore, enough numbers of modes should be included in the analysis to make the solution converge.When insufficient number of modes is used in the calculation, the resulting TL becomes overestimated.Very high TLs for a relatively thin shell reported in the work by Tang et al. [6, 11] are apparently causedby such a non-converged solution. Once the solution converges at a given frequency, it can be assumed toconverge in all frequencies lower than that, because more terms are necessary to be used in the calculationfor a higher frequency [8]. Therefore, an iterative procedure is constructed in each frequency, consideringthe maximum iteration number. Unless the convergence condition is met, it iterates again. When the TLscalculated at two successive calculations are within a pre-set error bound, the solution is considered tohave converged. Changes in the calculated TL as the number of modes increases are shown in Fig. 3 forthe case of a double walled shell specified in table (1) driven at 1000 Hz. Figure 4 shows the convergencetrend for the same case but at 10,000 Hz, which indicates that with increasing the frequency, the numberof modes for convergence is increased.

8- Important Regions

Before studying noise transmission into the cylindrical shell, let's introduce several important frequenciesand regions as shown in Fig. 5. Ring frequency occurs when the wavelength of a longitudinal wave in theshell equal to the circumference. Another important frequency is the coincidence or critical frequency. Itoccurs when the external acoustic wave number equals the bending wave number of cylindrical shell.The various regions are controlled by the stiffness (below ring frequency), the mass (between ring andcoincidence frequency) and the coincidence (upper than coincidence frequency).

9- Verification

To verify our work, an especial case of orthotropic double-walled cylindrical shell is considered wherethethicknessofairgapgoesbeyondzero(h g =O.OOlmm); Ez,Ea is substituted byE; v z, va by V

and G'2 by E/2(1+v). Three cases of single and double-walled cylindrical shells are specified as; 1­single-walled shell using analytical method; 2- single-walled shell presented by "Blaise" [1] using"modal-impedance method" where the orthotropy ratio (x = Ea/EJ is one. 3- isotropic double-walled

shell presented by "Kim" [24]. The comparison of these methods, shown in Fig. 6, indicates a goodagreement. As depicted, comparison of our model with two earlier cases indicates that, there is nodifference between these results in stiffuess-controlled region. However in high frequency (especiallyhigher than coincidence frequency), it can be shown that calculated TL's in presented work have littledifference with those of "Blaise" orthotropic single shell. It might be the effect of air-gap in higherfrequencies as a result of shortening the wavelength and the resonance of annular space. The comparisonis also done with TL calculated by Kim & Lee for isotropic double-walled shell. This comparison showsthe same trend but a little difference can be shown in broadband of frequency.

Figure 8. Compares the TL calculated from double shells of different air-gap sizes. Sound transmissionthrough the double shells with three air-gap sizes of 0.1, 1 and 10 mm are considered. It is illustrated thatthe air-gap size does not affect on the TL. in the frequency range lower than the ring frequency, becausethe wavelengths are larger than the air gap size. In other word the wavelengths do not sense the air-gap.In higher frequency, where the wavelengths are short, the air-gap plays the role of acoustic barrier. Inother hand, in high frequency range, enlarging the air -gap size make the TL be increased. In addition, byenlarging the air-gap size, the coincidence frequency shifts downwards (the mass-controlled region isdecreased.).

Different ambient conditions are considered here (table 2). A higher flight altitude affects on density and

sound velocity of fluid. Therefore, the acoustic impedance of external fluid (PIc I ) will be decreased.

Consequently, the difference between the acoustic impedances of fluids inside and outside the shells leadsto a larger acoustic mismatch. As shown in Fig. 9, increasing of acoustic mismatch makes the TL higherin broadband of frequency. For instance in some region it can be enhanced more than 10 dB. However,the ring frequency and coincidence frequency does not change.

Inspection of the Fig.10 shows that decreasing the Orthotropy ratio (X = Eo/EJ (while Eo is held

constant) tends to enhance the cylinder TL in the stiffness-controlled region as well as decreasing dips.With increasing this ratio the ring frequency does not change, but critical frequency shifts upward. Itsuggests that the TL might be enhanced by making the shell less stiff in the circumferential direction thanit is in the axial direction.

External airflow can influence the axial and radial wave number. Figure 11, shows the effect of Machnumbers with M = 0, 0.2, and 0.4, on TL. With increasing Mach number, the TL is descending instiffness-controlled region, whereas in upper frequency more than ring frequency it is ascending.

Figure 12 shows the effect of the shell orthotropic material on the TL. The materials chosen for thecomparison are carbon, fiberglass/epoxy, graphite/epoxy as shown in table (3). The figure shows that thematerial must be chosen properly to enhance TL at stiffness-control zone. The axial and circumferential

modulus ratio play significant role. The best results are obtained from graphite/epoxy shell, whichrepresents a desirable level ofTL at stiffness-control zone. It is readily seen that, in higher frequency, as aresult of density of materials, the TL curves are ascending.

As is seen in Fig. 13, changing the thickness of two shells has a broadband effect on TL over the entirerange of the frequency. In general, the TL increases about 6 dB as the thickness doubles, which is wellanticipated. In addition, the mass-controlled region is decreased. In a practical situation, the shells have tobe designed as thick as possible, unless there is a weight constraint. The type of analysis developed in thiswork will be very useful in such a situation. For example, if the target TL is known from theconsideration of the noise level, the proper thickness of the shell can be easily calculated.

According to table (4) air and carbon dioxide properties is used to analyze the effect of gap fluidproperties on the TL. As shown in Fig. 14, there is no difference in lower frequency but in highfrequency, the TLs of carbon dioxide gap is higher than those of air gap because of higher impedancemismatch.

11- Concluding remarks

Analytical studies are conducted on vibro-acoustic behavior of an infinitely long orthotropic double­walled cylindrical shell, subjected to a plane sound wave. Acoustic wave equations and shell equations,which are coupled with one another, are solved simultaneously to calculate TL. The effects of differentparameters on TL are considered in numerical results. The following conclusion can be drawn from thisnumerical study:

Transactions ofthe CSME Ide la SCGM Vol. 32, No.1, 2008 63

1- Decreasing the incident angle trends to enhance the cylinder TL in stiffness-controlled region andcoincidence-controlled region.

2- Decreasing the Orthotropy ratio tends to enhance the cylinder TL in the stiffness-controlled region aswell as decreasing dips.

3- In higher altitude, acoustic impedance mismatch increases. Therefore, TL in all broadband offrequency is enhanced.

4- In high frequency range, enlarging the air -gap size make the TL be increased. Moreover, by enlargingthe air-gap size, the coincidence frequency shifts downwards.

5- Increasing the Mach number descends the TL in stiffness-controlled region, whereas in upperfrequency more than ring frequency it is ascending.

6- The comparison of our investigation with the results done by other author indicates a good agreement.
