Swaging technique is frequently used to stiffen thin panels for reducing the vibration levels of the machine or vehicle structure. Because the internal constraints imposed by swages can distort the mode shapes of panels, they affect the sound radiation characteristics. In this paper, the radiated sound field generated by the idealized and baffled finite swaged panel is studied, in which the curved swage section is modeled as an incomplete cylindrical shell. The modal radiation efficiencies are predicted using the transfer matrix concept and compared with those of flat panels. It is observed that the radiation efficiencies of the swaged vibrational modes can increase slightly for frequencies below the critical frequency, while increase of radiation efficiency depends on the mode shapes and other related structural parameters.

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.
