Abstract

Sound transmission through a thin elastic plate is a fluid-loading problem which one encounters in room acoustics. In this paper, a system of boundary integral equations which describe both wave motion in air and the vibration of the plate is used. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the method, some numerical examples are shown. 1 Introduction There are many studies on sound transmission through or reflection from a thin elastic plate under the condition of plane wave incidence. Theoretical treatments are for the infinite geometry and the periodic structure [1-6]. For the finite structure, some num
