DECOUPLING OF ENERGY TRANSMISSION BETWEEN SUBSYSTEMS OF A COMPLEX STRUCTURE

Experimental vibroacoustic measurements are very common for the study of emitted noise reduction and vibration energy isolation of structures. The most important case is when structures are subjected to an aerodynamic excitation as Turbulent Boundary Layer (TBL). In this paper, a preliminary study is performed on the energy transmission between subsystems of a structure subjected to TBL. A numerical test is developed on a three-plates-in-row system at high frequencies, through the application of Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA). Parameters such as surface dimensions, thickness and damping loss factor are evaluated in different configurations for a first design of a testbench used for vibroacoustic measurements in a wind tunnel.
