Abstract

An analytical and experimental investigation of the flow of vibrational power in a thin, L-shaped, finite plate structure subjected to mechanical and acoustic excitation is presented. In the analytical approach, mobility functions are used to determine the structural intensity vectors at various locations on the plate structure. Simulation results of intensity vectors estimated using three different measurement schemes are compared. The experimentally measured intensity vectors, for the case of mechanical excitation, using a four accelerometer array, are presented. They are found to match well with the results from the corresponding simulation. Similar results are obtained for the case of acoustic excitation of the L-shaped plate. The general pattern of the structural intensity vectors is found to be in agreement with the expected results.
