Inclusion of non-resonant component is expected to improve the estimation of response of a structure to acoustic excitation. In this paper this is veri"ed experimentally. A typical plate is subjected to acoustic excitation in a reverberant chamber and the acceleration responses are measured. The exp

β¦ Synopsis
When excited acoustically, the response of a panel consists of resonant and non-resonant waves. The non-resonant response is negligible for limp panels. However, it can become signi"cant in the case of thin light structural panels. SEA modelling does not predict the non-resonant response of the structure. This paper discusses the above limitation of SEA and presents a modi"ed SEA formulation by which the non-resonant response can also be estimated. The resonant and the non-resonant contributions to the response are assumed to be arising out of two separate subsystems. In the present formulation, modelling for non-resonant response is similar to the conventional SEA modelling for resonant response but uses di!erent expressions for the coupling loss factors. The classical problem of two reverberant rooms separated by a panel is considered as an example. It is shown that by using this procedure the non-resonant response of the structure can be estimated. Also, the non-resonant sound transmission is obtained exactly. Results of a numerical example are presented to compare the conventional and the modi"ed SEA modelling results.

In what follows, the analysis of Keane [1] for the energy flows around an arbitrary configuration of coupled multi-modal subsystems is extended to the case of non-conservative coupling. Here, the joints between any two subsystems are modelled by a spring and a damper, thus allowing for dissipation o
