A spectral super element for modelling of plate vibration. Part 2 : turbulence excitation

• In the accompanying paper, the suitability of a spectral super element to predict the response to point force excitation, was demonstrated. This paper expands the element formulation to also include distributed forces, which is useful when studying distributed excitation. First the sensitivity function, i.e. the structural response to a travelling pressure wave, is found. This sensitivity function and a wavenumber frequency description of the wall pressure are then used to predict the response of a turbulence excited panel in a numerically efficient way. The predictions were validated by a conventional finite element method and also compared to measurements.
