Abstract
This paper describes a new method of structural design for low noise and low vibration using Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA). SEA is used for high frequency analysis in the various fields of noise and vibration prediction. The structural design process using SEA proposed is, (1) an SEA model is constructed, (2) the power input under the real operating condition is identified using the built SEA model, (3) SEA parameters as to the energy fluctuation for each subsystems are extracted, (4) analysis of structural design by FEM is considered It is shown that that process was effective for developing the structural design of an Auto document feeder (ADF).
