An alternative formulation of the Helmholtz integral equation derived to express the pressure field explicitly in terms of the velocity vector of a radiating surface is used to solve acoustic radiation and fluid/structure interaction problems. This formulation, derived for arbitrary sources, is similar in form to the Rayleigh's formula for planar sources. Because the surface pressure field is expressed explicitly as a surface integral of the surface velocity, which can be implemented numerically using standard Gaussian quadratures, there is no need to use BEM to solve a set of simultaneous equations for the surface pressure at the discretized nodes. Furthermore the non-uniqueness problem inherent in methods based on Helmholtz integral equation is avoided. Validation of this formulation is demonstrated for some simple geometries.

A direct boundary element method (DBEM) is developed for thin bodies whose surfaces are rigid or compliant. The Helmholtz integral equation and its normal derivative integral equation are adoped simultaneously to calculate the pressure on both sides of the thin body, instead of the jump values across it, to account for the different surface conditions of each side. Unlike the usual assumption, the normal velocity is assumed to be discontinuous across the thin body. In this approach, only the neutral surface of the thin body has to be discretized. The method is validated by comparison with analytic and/or numerical results for acoustic scattering and radiation from several surface conditions of the thin body; the surfaces are rigid when stationary or vibrating, and part of the interior surface is lined with a sound-absoring material.

진동하는 구조물의 음향 방사 예측에는 키르히호프-헬름홀쯔 적분 방정식에 근본을 둔 경계 요소 해석이 널리 사용된다. 이 경계 요소 해석은 익히 알고 있듯이 구조물의 동적 거동이 정량적으로 표현될 수 있는 경우는 매우 높은 정확도의 예측 결과를 제공한다. 그러나 실제 현상에서 접할 수 있는 복잡한 구조물의 음향 방사 예측에는 많은 변수들로 인해 예측의 정확도가 감소됨은 확실하다. 다른 방법으로는 실험을 통한 임의의 음장 예측 방법인 근음장 음향 홀로그래피(nearfield acoustical holography) 방법을 들 수 있다. 이 방법은 실제로 발생되는 음향 방사로부터 마이크로폰을 이용하여 홀로그램면의 음압 또는 속도를 측정하고 키르히호프-헬름홀쯔 적분 방정식에 적용하여 임의의 홀로그램면에 투사(mapping)시켜 음장을 예측하는 방법이다. 근음장 음향 홀로그래피는 탁월한 정확성을 갖고 있으나, 측정의 복잡성과 홀로그램면을 형성하기 위한 많은 이산점(절점)의 필요성 등의 단점을 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 또 다른 음장 예측 방법인 실험의 장점과 유한 요소 해석의 장정을 복합시킨 모드 확장 방법(modal expansion method)을 사용하여 단순 구조물인 평판의 진동에 의한 음장을 예측해 보았다. 모드 확장 방법은 구조물의 동적 거동은 모드의 선형 조합으로 표현될 수 있다는 것에 그 원리를 둔다. 본 논문은 단순 평판을 대상으로 유한 요소 해석으로 구한 모드 정보와 실험에 의해 얻은 입의 가진 주파수에 대한 진동 표면의 속도 분포를 조합하여 속도 경계 조건을 구성, 경계 요소 해석으로 음장 예측을 수행하였으며 모드 확장 방법을 사용함에 있어 고려해야할 몇 가지 사항에 대해 다루었다.

Absorptive material arrangement method for effective interior noise control is proposed. Sound field with arbitrary boundary condition is formulated by Kirchhoff-Helmholtz integral equation. A simple example such as a rectangular cavity will present physical meaning between changing boundary condition and control of sound field. The effect of changing boundary condition is expressed in modal admittance. From this formulation. an admittance map is presented. The admittance map is the figure to represent position where absorptive material is attached for effective interior noise control. The admittance map can be assigned to each resonant frequency. There. however, may be common area of those maps. Then, frequency robust arrangement of absorptive material in noise control will be presented.

What changes in the eigen values and eigen functions are produced if the boundary surface S is no longer rigid but has a specific acoustic admittance which may vary from point to point on S. In this paper, changes in eigen values and eigen functions are derived by using Kirchhoff-Helmholtz integral equation. And acoustic potential energy, which is representative measure describing the physical quantity in cavity, is defined. Acoustic potential energy can be divided into primary one and secondary one. Primary one is the acoustic potential energy through unchanged eigen functions, and secondary one is through changed eigen functions. Using these two term, we can find the eigenvalue problem, which gives the control performance when the boundary condition is changed.

This paper uses loop-star basis functions to overcome the low frequency breakdown problem in method of moments (MoM) based on electric field integral equation(EFIE). In addition, p-Type Multiplicative Schwarz preconditioner (p-MUS) technique is employed to reduce the number of iterations required for the conjugate gradient method(CGM). Low frequency instability with Rao Wilton Glisson(RWG) basis functions in EFIE can be resolved using loop-start basis functions and frequency normalized techniques. However, loop-star basis functions, consisting of irrotational and solenoidal components of RWG basis functions, require a large number of iterations to calculate a solution through iterative methods, such as conjugate gradient method(CGM), due to high condition number. To circumvent this problem, in this paper, the pMUS preconditioner technique is proposed to reduce the number of iterations in CGM. Simulation results show that pMUS preconditioner is much faster than block diagonal preconditioner(BDP) when the sparsity of pMUS is the same as that of BDP.
