The development of acoustic coatings is of interest for underwater acoustic stealth to control
structure-borne sound radiation of ships. The ship hull is composed of finite stiffened plate …

A combined experimental–numerical approach for the pole assignment of fluid-loaded
structures using the receptance method is proposed in this paper. The in-air measurements …

A hybrid experimental-numerical approach is proposed for assessing acoustic radiation
damping–a major energy dissipating mechanism in lightweight structures. The vibrational …

To determine the radiated sound power of an underwater sound source below the first
resonance frequency in a non-anechoic tank, a sound intensity measurement technique …

Abstract A Marine Hydrokinetic (MHK) cycloturbine vehicle can exploit tidal currents to
generate sustainable power and also has the ability to station keep and maneuver. The …

This thesis presents novel methods for quantifying acoustic radiation damping. The
structural vibrations are characterized by both, numerical and experimental techniques. The …

The resonance frequency, stiffness, and damping of a structure with screws, bolts, or rivets is
strongly influenced by the nonlinear interaction of connected faying surfaces. During the …

Composite sandwich panels are used throughout the aerospace industry as lightweight, stiff
structural components. While the vibroacoustic behavior of simple isotropic homogeneous …

A marine hydrokinetic (MHK) cycloturbine is a renewable electric power generation system
used in rivers or tidal environments to address the need for electricity in remote regions …
