Prediction for Sound Radiated Power from Submerged Double Cylindrical Shells Based on Measuring Vibration of Inner Shell

A prediction method for the sound radiated power from submerged double cylindrical shells based on measuring vibration of inner shell is presented. The prediction model of submerged double cylindrical shells is established by using modal superposition method. Applied the ratio of the measuring value and theoretical value of the acceleration in one point or mean square velocity of inner shell, and combined with the theoretical value of the sound radiated power, the predicted value of the sound radiated power is derived. The corresponding experiment is carried out in lake. And then the measuring power curve is compared with the predicted power curve based on this method. The result shows that they have good agreement and the average prediction error is less than 2dB.
