Abstract
The acoustic pressure on the surface of planar circular structures, fitted in an infinitely large baffle, is calculated according to the Huygens-Rayleigh principle. A few simple non-axisym-metric vibrational-mode shapes are considered. The necessary integration is done numerically with the aid of a desk computer. The calculations yield the following results: If the mechanical mode shape is sinusoidal with respect to the circumferential angle, the same is also always true for the rms-value or the amplitude, respectively, of the acoustic pressure. Then the maxima of the acoustic pressure occur at the same angles as the antinodes of the mechanical vibration, and the zeros of the acoustic pressure occur at the radial nodes of the vibration. If, however, the vibrational-mode shape is non-sinusoidal in circumferential direction, it is quite possible that the acoustic pressure and the mechanical mode shape depend on the angle in different ways; a direct correlation, as a rule, is then no longer recognizable. But if mode shapes non-sinusoidal in circumferential direction are split up in elementary sinusoidal shapes, and then the elementary complex distributions of the acoustic pressure belonging thereto are superimposed (Fourier-analysis and -synthesis), the phenomena ascertained can plausibly be interpreted.
