Abstract:
The surface vibration displacement of the sound source is obtained by the finite element method. The directivity pattern of a rectangular thin plate with flexural vibration under the free boundary condition is derived through dispersing the Rayleigh′s integral formula. Based on the above, the directivity patterns in both 2-dimension and 3-dimension are calculated. The results showed that when the vibrational order of the rectangular thin plate in flexural is increased, the distribution of the directivity pattern becomes more acute, but there is no directivity pattern in the axis.
