Sponsored by the US National Science Foundation, a workshop on the boundary element
method (BEM) was held on the campus of the University of Akron during September 1–3 …

The commonly applied rule of thumb to use six (linear) elements per wavelength in linear
time-harmonic acoustics is discussed in this paper. In a survey of related work, rules of …

Over the past 40 years the low-and mid-frequency internal noise of road vehiles has been of
increasing interest to both manufacturers and customers, and there have been many papers …

Low noise constructions receive more and more attention in highly industrialized countries.
Consequently, decrease of noise radiation challenges a growing community of engineers …

To predict the sound radiation of structures, both a structural problem and an acoustic
problem have to be solved. In case of thin structures and dense fluids, a strong coupling …

This paper focuses on the accurate and efficient numerical implementation of acoustic-
structure coupling formulations using the edge-based smoothed finite element method for …

This chapter presents an introduction to the solution of time-harmonic acoustic problems by
a boundary element method (BEM). Specifically, the Helmholtz equation with admittance …

The edge-based smoothed finite element method (ES-FEM) developed recently shows
some excellent features in solving solid mechanics problems using triangular mesh. In this …

The complete interaction between the structural domain and the acoustic domain needs to
be considered in many engineering problems, especially for the acoustic analysis …

A coupling algorithm based on Lagrange multipliers is proposed for the simulation of
structure–acoustic field interaction. Finite plate elements are coupled to a Galerkin boundary …
