    Patil et al. [] also used a curve tting technique todevelop an effective resonant requency ormula rom simu-lation data or ve perorated plates using FEM. Te ormulawas a unction o the so-called mass remnant ratio (MR),that is, the ratio o surace area o a perorated plate to thato the solid plate or the same dimension. Te ormula was

    then expressedas a seventh order polynomial unction o MR.However, the ormula was applicable only or the rst threemodes o vibration.

    Recently, Mali and Singru [] proposed a technique usingconcentrated negative mass in the Galerkin method to modelthe natural requency o a perorated plate. It is shown thatthe analytical results are in good agreement with those roma FEM model, but only or small size o holes.

    As previous works were concerned with only the dynamicproperties o the peroration, this paper investigates thechange o vibration level due to the introduction o holes intoa solid panel. As no established analytical model is available

    to calculate the mobility o the peroration, the numeri-cal model is thereore implemented using Finite ElementMethod (FEM). Te numerical calculation o mobility o theperoration is then compared against that o the solid plate inone-third octave band requency.

    2. Mobility

    .. Teoretical Model. Mobility is dened as the ratiobetween the vibration velocity Vand the excitation orcegiven as a unction o requency,() = V()/(). For anite rectangular plate with dimensions , the mobility atan arbitrary point

    (,)subjected to a point orce

    )is given by []

    where is theth mass-normalized mode shape o thestructure, is theth natural requency, and is thedamping loss actor. A case ofen considered is that o arectangular plate with simply supported boundary conditionsas this system provides a simple analytical solution. For asimply supported rectangular plate, the mode shape can berepresented by sine unctions. Tis and the natural requency

    .. Finite Element (FE) Model

    ... Validation with Teory. Te model o the peroratedpanel is developed here using PARAN and NASRANsofware programs. In order to ensure the FE model used is

    valid in terms o the element size and setting o the boundarycondition, the result is validated against the theoreticalmobility as in ().

    A FE model o a solid panel having dimensions o.. m and thickness mm is developed with simplysupported condition along all the edges. Te panels are madeo aluminium having Youngs modulus o GPa, density o

    kgm3, and Poissons ratio o .. Te D shell elementsare used to model plate structures where a shell structure car-ries loads in all directions and thereore undergoes bendingand twisting, as well as in-plane deormation [].

    Te mesh element type used in the FE model is the basictwo-dimensional triangular element (ria shape and Paver).Te element size is set to be much smaller than hal o thestructural wavelength corresponding to the maximum re-quency o analysis to give accurate results at high requencies.Te global edge length o each element is set to be . mwhich is sufficient to provide accurate result up to kHz.Te plate was set to be an ideal simply supported boundarycondition, where the displacement is restrained at the plateedges, but the rotation is set to be ree. Te location othe excitation orce and the response are the same or allsimulated plates or consistency o plate mobility analysis.

    An excitation orce o N is applied slightly away romthe centroid o the panel at coordinates (., .) where the(,) is at the bottom lef corner o the plate as illustrated inFigure . Tis is to generate optimum numbers o vibration

    modes particularly at low requencies. Te damping lossactor is set to be . which is a typically small value ormost engineering structures. Te vibration level o the panelis analyzed in the requency range o Hz to kHz. From theFE calculation, by extracting the vibration velocity rom theresponse point and as a unit orce was used, this result givesthe mobility. Te result is postprocessed using MALAB.For the theory, the calculation was also perormed usingMALAB or modes ( = 20, = 20) up to kHzwith the same location o excitation orce and response aswell as the value o the damping actor. Te comparisono the results is shown inFigure (a)with good agreementparticularly below kHz. Above kHz, small discrepancies

    In order to ensure the right meshing is used in this study,the effect o the size o the mesh is also investigated bysimulating the mobility o a perorated panel with different

    global edge length (GEL) o the mesh. Figure shows twoexamples o the FE model with different meshing size.Figure plots the mobility or our different GELs. It can beobserved that the results or perorated plates with GEL = mm and mm havethe same results which collapsetogetheror the corresponding requency range. For larger GEL, thatis, GEL = mm and GEL = mm, the mobility shifs tohigher requency. Tus, or the rest o the simulation, GEL= mm is used in this study.

    3. Simulation Results and Discussion

    Te numerical results rom the FE model are presented inone-third octave bands to observe the average level omobility in a requency band rather than to deal with detailso discrepancies in the narrow band. Also or convenience

    o analysis, it is o interest to observe the amount o mobil-

    ity level which increases due to peroration. Tis can beexpressed with the effect o peroration in dB unit by

    Te level o increment becomes greater as the perorationratio increases. However, among the perorated plates withxed peroration ratio, varying the hole diameter as well asthe number o holes does not have signicant change onthe mobility except at high requencies (above kHz). Tiscan also be seen in the effect o peroration results. Te

    variation o mobility or different hole diameters (with xedperoration ratio) can be clearly observed as the perorationratio is increased. Te largest hole diameter gives the highestmobility at high requencies. Tis indicates that, at highrequencies, the mobility o the perorations depends on thehole density in the panel where large hole density (manyholes, but smaller) is preerred to reduce vibration. Larger

    hole density hasalso beenshownto produce the greatestnoisereduction effect [,].

    It should be noted here that the high peaks shownin the effect o peroration at low requencies below kHz, or example, at the undamental requency o the plate,that is, Hz, are the effects due to the natural requencyshif because o peroration [], although the level at theundamental requency as seen in Figure (e) is alsoincreased by roughly dB compared to the level at theundamental requency o the solid plate.

    Te mobility can be signicantly increased orhigher per-oration ratio or the centralized holes which can obviouslybe seen in the effect o peroration in Figures(b)and(d). Te stiffness o the plate reduces signicantly when theconcentration o the holes is moved towards the center o the

    panel, but no effect is obvious rom the mobility result whenthe holes are spread away rom the center and concentratedto the plate edges.

    separation between holes is large (Figures (a)and (b)).Tis is because the local stiffness around the hole is lowercompared to the one away rom the hole and thus increasesthe mobility. As the hole separation becomes smaller, theprevious localized stiffness reduction now becomes moreglobal across the plate. Hence, or larger peroration ratios,the change o the mobility due to the change o the responselocation is not too obvious as seen in Figures(c)-(d)and(e)-().

    Figure shows the contour o stress distribution cal-culated rom PASRAN and NASRAN which can beassociated with the phenomena o stiffness reduction. It canbe observed that the highest stress level is concentratedonly around the excitation point close to the hole or smallperoration ratio as seen in Figure (a). Te concentrationo the stress distributes to more holes as the holes arecloser together (high peroration ratio) as in Figure (b).As the holes become more closer as shown in Figure (c),

    the level o stress increases and almost all holes have highconcentration o stress.

    4. Conclusion

    Te mobility o perorated plates with varying holes geome-tries and peroration patterns has been investigated by usingFinite Element Method. It is ound that the mobility increasesas the peroration ratio increases. For a xed perorationratio, however, the small hole density (small number, butlargediameter holes) gives the most effect to increase vibration

    at high requency. Te effect can also be seen or holesconcentrated in the center o the panel, where vibrationcan be signicantly increased compared to those distributeduniormly or arranged around the plate edges at a xedperoration ratio. Te peroration arrays (either triangularor square) were shown to have insignicant effect on theplate mobility or the same peroration ratio. Te samephenomenon is also ound or different boundary conditions,that is, ree-ree and clamped-clamped edges, where theresults show a similar trend o the effect o perorationwith that rom the simply supported edges.

    response location at the plate can also give different results.For low peroration ratio or low density (low number oholes per unit area), the mobility is more sensitive aroundthe vicinity o the hole and thereore response locationaround this area gives higher mobility. As the perorationratio increases, where the holes become much closer together(higher hole density), the location o the response becomesinsensitive to the mobility result. Tis is due to the globalstiffness reduction throughout the individual area o the

    holes and thus throughout the surace o the plate. All thesendings can be used as the general guidance in designing

    vibrating structures with perorated plates.
