This paper investigates the underwater acoustic radiation from a periodically stiffened cylindrical shell excited resiliently mounted machinery. Underwater acoustic radiation is important to a submarine. Generally, submarine structure can be modeled as stiffened cylindrical shell immersed in water. Analytical model is derived for the far-field acoustic radiation from machinery installed inside cylindrical shell. The analytical model includes the effect of fluid loading and interactions between periodic ring stiffeners. Transmitted force from machine to a shell through isolator can be different by the impedance of shell. In this paper the effect of a shell impedance for acoustic radiation is investigated. Impedance of a shell should be considered if thickness of a shell is thin.

This paper focuses on vibration analysis of functionally graded cylindrical shell submerged in an incompressible fluid. The equation is established considering axial and lateral hydrostatic pressure based on first order shear deformation theory of shell motion using the wave propagation approach and classic Fl$\ddot{u}$gge shell equations. To study accuracy of the present analysis, a comparison carried out with a known data and the finite element package ABAQUS. With this method the effects of shell parameters, m, n, h/R, L/R, different boundary conditions and different power-law exponent of material of functionally graded cylindrical shells, on the frequencies are investigated. The results obtained from the present approach show good agreement with published results.

The free flexural vibration of a hanged clamped-free cylindrical shell partially submerged in water with gap from bottom is investigated. The fluid is assumed to be inviscid and irrotational. The cylindrical shell is modeled by using the Rayleigh-Ritz method based on the Sanders shell theory. The kinetic energy of the fluid is derived by solving the boundary-value problem related to the fluid motion. The natural vibration characteristics of the partially submerged cylindrical shell are discussed with respect to the added virtual mass approach. In this study, experiments were carried out to confirm theoretical results. It was found that theoretical prediction is in good agreement with experimental results.

In this article, the underwater radiated noise of the submerged cylindrical shell model is investigated using hull transfer functions which were defined in accordance with structureborne and airborne noise propagation paths. This method is very useful tool as the prediction of radiated noise from submerged structures in design stage. This approach is verified by experimental model and its measurement results.

The general approach using sine series expansions was represented to evaluate the radiation loading from a vibrating surface on a simply supported cylinder. In this paper, the fluid-loading coefficients (radiation impedance) for a submerged finite cylindrical shell with an arbitrary end condition are defined and evaluated. The vibrations of cylindrical shell are expressed by using cosine series expansions to analyze the radiation impedance for a finite cylindrical shell. It is possible to represent the displacements at both ends of cylindrical shell in comparison with sine series. The direct and cross modal components of fluid-loading coefficients are shown and the validity of cosine series expansions are verified from the results of numerical computations. This approach and results are directly applicable in the analysis of sound radiation from subemerged finite cylindrical shell with arbitrary end conditions.

In the analysis of circular cylindrical shell's vibration and sound radiation, there are numerical and analytical methods. Numerical methods such as F.E.M and B.E.M, have the limit of frequency range. Analytical method can be applied to the circular cylindrical shell from low frequency to high frequency. In this paper, we use the analytical method for shell, and numerical method, F.D.M, for fluid. We also use the method using transfer matrix and eigenanalysis of transfer matrix which can therefore calculate the rotational d.o.f that is very imkportant in synthesis with inner structure. Inner structure has much effect on the submerged circular cylindrical shell vibration and sound rediation. Results for the immersed circular cylindrical shell vibration and sound radiation are compared with the analytic solutions.

The free vibration characteristics of the cylindrical shell submerged in water is investigated using by FEM and experiment. In the FE analysis, the fluid-structure interaction effect is concerned. The restraint condition is clamped-free. In the results, the natural frequency and mode shape characteristics are evaluated with various water height. This results are compared with those of experiment to verify the validation of the FE analysis. The change of damping ratio is also presented by experiment.

In this report, the underwater sound radiation from finite cylindrical shell with stiffeners which is the basic configuration of submerged vehicle is studied analytically and experimentally. The shell vibrations are obtained by using the shell theory of Sanders-Koitter. The stiffeners and modeled for I-type and the stiffness matrices are obtained by using beam model. In the analytical stuides, the vibrations of cylindrical shell are expressed by using cosine series expansions to consider the arbitrary end boundary conditions. It is agree to the theoretical and experimental results well.

For the perforated cylindrical shell submerged in fluid, it is almost impossible to develop a finite element model due to the necessity of the fine meshing of the shell and the fluid at the same time. This necessitates the use of solid shell with equivalent material properties. Unfortunately the effective elastic constants are not found in any references even though the ASME code is suggesting those for perforated plate. Therefore in this study the equivalent material properties of perforated shell are suggested by performing several finite element analyses with respect to the ligament efficiencies.

Underwater vehicles such as UUVs (Unmanned Underwater Vehicles) and ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles) use sonar to detect their underwater environment or other underwater vehicles. The underwater vehicles designed recently have an electrical power system with high rotational speed. This system can generate high frequency vibrations above 10 kHz, and these vibrations can cause bad (negative) effects on the performance of the sonar. In many previous investigations, numerical analyses have been used for high frequency vibration problems. In this study, an experimental analysis was carried out, and a circular cylindrical shell was considered as the hull structure of an underwater vehicle. Frequency transfer functions for the circular cylindrical shell were identified using an experimental vibration analysis in the air and in a fully-submerged condition. We compare the frequency transfer functions in the air and water to obtain hydro-elastic effects. It is found that the dynamic characteristics of the circular cylindrical shell are changed by varying the response position.
