Abstract: This paper is concerned with the understanding of vibration characteristics of a box-type structure using the finite element method as a tool. We found that mode shapes of the box structure ...

Abstract: In this paper, an analytical solution is derived and used for studying the effect of off-neutral axis loading (point force excitation applied off the neutral axis of a rib) on ribbed-plate ...

Abstract: Characteristics of modal sound radiation of finite cylindrical shells are studied using finite element and boundary element methods in this paper. In the low frequency range, modal radiation ...
