Boundary Element Modeling of Sound Attenuation in Acoustically Lined Curved Pipes J. Theor. Comput. Acoust. (IF 0.85) Pub Date : 2019-10-15 A. Saide Sarıgül
The results of a modeling study for the numerical solution of the interior surface Helmholtz integral for acoustically lined curved pipes with rectangular cross-section are presented. The solution of the Helmholtz integral equation is calculated by using the boundary element method (BEM). The sound attenuation spectra of different possible models with regard to the lining on the boundaries are compared

Kirchhoff Approximations for the Forward-Scattering Target Strength of Underwater Objects J. Theor. Comput. Acoust. (IF 0.85) Pub Date : 2019-10-14 Chuanlin He; Yi Zheng; Xu Xiang; Yuanliang Ma
Kirchhoff approximations for the forward-scattering target strength of underwater objects are developed by combining Babinet’s principle and the Kirchhoff integral, where theoretical formulations and a numerical implementation are given in detail. The Kirchhoff approximation is found to be a high-frequency physical acoustic approximation. The forward-scattering target strength versus frequency and

Approximating Ocean Acoustic Fields with Finite Basis Function Series for Autonomous Vehicle Applications J. Theor. Comput. Acoust. (IF 0.85) Pub Date : 2019-10-14 Caitlin C. Bogdan; Sheryl M. Grace; J. Gregory McDaniel
Algorithms that enable acoustic sensing vehicles to autonomously map acoustic fields are being developed, but some require an analytical representation of the data collected from the acoustic field with specific continuity properties. One optimal control technique that has these requirements and has been used in autonomous acoustic sensing algorithms is Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle (PMP). Given that

A General-Purpose Element-Based Approach to Compute Dispersion Relations in Periodic Materials with Existing Finite Element Codes J. Theor. Comput. Acoust. (IF 0.85) Pub Date : 2019-08-01 Camilo Valencia; Juan Gomez; Nicolás Guarín-Zapata
The numerical determination of dispersion relations in periodic materials via the finite element method is a difficult task in most standard codes. Here, we propose a novel technique which allows the computation of these band structures from local elemental subroutines in contrast with existing methods which impose Bloch boundary conditions on the global arrays. The proposed local approach is thus
