Acoustic Radiation Performance of a Composite Laminated Plate Subjected to Local Temperature

Composite structures are extensively applied because of their high specific stiffness-to-weight ratios and other advantages. In various scenarios, composite structures are elastically coupled and usually exposed to a nonuniform thermal environment. This paper presents numerical simulation studies on the vibroacoustic characteristics of a composite laminated plate with elastic supports subjected to local temperature. The thermal stiffness matrix and stiffness matrix of the elastic boundary are first derived based on the finite element method, and then a coupled vibroacoustic model is developed to calculate the acoustic properties of the structure. A comprehensive study is performed to highlight the effect of the temperature loading position, temperature range, and heated area on the acoustic radiation responses of composite laminated plates with different elastic supports. The results show that the existence of thermal stress has a great influence on the acoustic radiation of the structure at low frequencies, which is affected by the boundary constraints and heated areas.
