Wave Propagation in Swaged Panel

형상 보강 판넬의 파동 전파 특성

Stiffened panels are very frequently used for body structures of automobiles, air-crafts, submarines, etc., to suppress the vibration level. Swaging technique is the modification of the configuration of panel itself, and this is prefered to rib-like stiffeners because it does not change the total weight of structure. In this paper, the transmissibility of vibratory power through swage is investigated, where the swage is modeled as an incomplete circular ring, utilizing the well-known transfer matrix method. The power transmission and reflection coefficients of swaged panel are estimated and compared with experimental results.
