ON ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION IN STRUCTURAL ACOUSTICS - PART II - EXEMPLIFICATIONS FOR AXISYMMETRICAL STRUCTURES

This two-part paper is devoted to problems of structural-acoustic coup ling with emphasis on analysis, design sensitivity analysis and optimi zation. Part II of the paper aims to (i) present consistent numerical techniques commonly used for treatment of coupled structural and acous tic dynamics, (ii) use the structural optimization tool ODESSY for sol ution of several coupled problems, and (iii) compare the numerical eff iciency of alternative techniques and the relevance of selected object ive functions.
