Abstract
In this paper, in order to solve the characteristics of the radiated sound field generated by vibration of a flat elastic single plate or double plates with different materials in small enclosure with rigid walls, we try to apply a numerical simulation technique using a finite difference time domain (FDTD) method to the coupled analysis of the vibroacoustic characteristics. The update equations for the FDTD simulation in the sound field and in the elastic body modeled by the isotropic material are coupled at the boundary of both the mediums. Numerical results show that the frequency response changes depend on the value of the material constant of the elastic plate and/or the volume of the enclosure. Since the experimental results using a vinyl chloride plate and an aluminum plate show the same tendency as the numerical results, the validity of the numerical simulation using the FDTD method proposed in this paper is confirmed.
