1.3 Aim and outline of the work
2.1.3 Fluid-structure coupling
For the fully coupled fluid-structure interaction model, the MAM unit cell from Fig. 2.1 is considered to be part of an infinite planar array of this unit cell, as indicated in Fig. 2.5. Each MAM cell is uniquely iden-tified with the indices p ∈ {. . . ,−2,−1,0,1,2, . . .} and q ∈ {. . . ,−2,
−1,0,1,2, . . .}. The index pair (p, q) refers to the MAM unit cell rang-ing overpLx < x < (p+ 1)Lx and qLy < y < (q+ 1)Ly. A fluid half space with density ρ0 and speed of soundc0 is coupled to each side of the MAM array, extending toz→ −∞andz→+∞, respectively. The acoustic pressure fields in those half spaces are given by ˆP−(x, y, z), for the source side of the MAM at z < 0, and ˆP+(x, y, z), for the trans-mission side of the MAM at z > 0. The MAM is acoustically excited by an obliquely incident plane wave with pressure amplitude ˆPi0 and wave vector
where θi is the incidence angle and φi is the azimuth of the plane wave (see Fig. 2.5). After introducing the nondimensionalized incident pressure field as βi= ˆPiLx/Tm, the dimensionless pressure field of the incident sound wave in the source side fluid half space is given by
βi(ξ, η, ζ) =βi0e−i(κξξ+κηη+κζζ), (2.34)

where κξ = kixLx, κη =kiyLy, and κζ = kizLx are the dimensionless forms of the Cartesian incident wave number components. The nondi-mensional acoustic pressure fieldβ− = ˆP−Lx/Tm can be decomposed into a blocked pressure partβbl, given by
βbl(ξ, η, ζ) =βi(ξ, η, ζ) +βi(ξ, η,−ζ)
=βi0e−i(κξξ+κηη)

, (2.35)
and a reradiated pressure partβrr, resulting from the radiation of sound on both sides of the MAM [14, p. 97]. Thus, the source side pressure field can be expressed as β− = βbl −βrr. The pressure field on the other side of the MAM β+ = ˆP+Lx/Tm is equal only to βrr, because no external sound field is present on this side and the MAM is many orders of magnitude thinner than the acoustic wavelength. Thus, the nondimensional acoustic pressure amplitude difference on the MAM surface ∆β is
∆β(ξ, η) =β−(ξ, η,0)−β+(ξ, η,0)
= 2βi0e−i(κξξ+κηη)−2βrr(ξ, η,0). (2.36) Consequently, the acoustic pressure difference vector∆βin the system of equations (2.27) can be written as
∆β= 2βi0b−2βrr, (2.37) where b = (bmn) ∈ CN is the membrane mode excitation vector de-pending only on the properties of the incident sound field with
bmn= 2mnπ2(−1)me−iκξ −1 κ2ξ−m2π2
(−1)ne−iκη−1
κ2η−n2π2 (2.38) and βrr is obtained from the reradiated sound pressure field, which in general is a function of the membrane displacement amplitudeu.
From the nature of the incident plane wave it follows that each MAM unit cell is excited by a pressure field, which differs from the pressure excitation field of any other unit cell only by a constant phase shift.
Thus, the incident sound pressure field can be expressed in the form of a Bloch-Floquet wave as [29]
βi(ξ+p, η+q, ζ) =βi(ξ, η, ζ)e−i(κξp+κηq). (2.39) Eq. (2.39) indicates that the incident sound field is – apart from a phase difference factor of e−i(κξp+κηq) – periodic at the unit cell edges.
This periodicity also applies to the vibrational response of the MAM unit cells and it is therefore sufficient to consider only a single unit cell of the MAM and the coupled fluid half spaces with the Bloch-Floquet boundary conditions as shown in Fig. 2.5. Following the nondimension-alization procedure for the structural MAM model from Section 2.1.1, the reradiated acoustic field in both half-spaces is expressed in terms of the nondimensional acoustic potential functionϕrr, which is governed by the Helmholtz equation
ϕrr,ξξ+Λ2ϕrr,ηη+ϕrr,ζζ+κ20ϕrr= 0 (2.40) with the periodic boundary conditions
ϕrr(ξ+p, η+q, ζ) =ϕrr(ξ, η, ζ)e−i(κξp+κηq). (2.41) In Eq. (2.40), κ0 = k0Lx is the dimensionless acoustic wave number, which is related to the dimensionless speed of soundς0 =c0/p
Tm/m00m by κ0 = Ω/ς0. The general solution of Eq. (2.40) under the periodic boundary conditions specified in Eq. (2.41) consists of the superposition of the fluid cavity modes, each given by the product of a lateral mode function
Ψrs= e−i(κrξ+κsη), (2.42)
where κr = κξ + 2πr, r = . . . ,−1,0,1, . . ., and κs = κη + 2πs, s = . . . ,−1,0,1, . . ., and a plane wave propagating in positive ζ-direction.
Thus, the reradiated acoustic potential function is approximated by truncating the superposition of the fluid cavity modes, i.e.

Like the expansion foru in Eq. (2.6), the approximate relationship in Eq. (2.43) becomes more accurate for higher values ofNx(ϕ)andNy(ϕ). In most cases it is sufficient to consider only fluid modes up to an order of ten, because the higher-order fluid modes are strongly evanescent and do not contribute much to the sound radiation of MAMs. It follows from the dispersion relation that theζ-component of the dimensionless wave number in Eq. (2.43) is given by
κrs =± q
κ20−κ2r−Λ2κ2s, (2.44) with the positive sign for positive radicands (i.e. realκrs) and the neg-ative sign for negneg-ative radicands (i.e. imaginary κrs) such that only physically reasonable solutions for the reradiated acoustic field are ob-tained.
The unknown constantsarsin Eq. (2.43) have to be determined from the vibro-acoustic coupling condition between the MAM and the fluid.
For this, the nondimensional particle displacement amplitude vector field urr inside the fluid half space adjacent to the MAM follows from
the gradient of the potential functionϕrr, i.e.
The continuity condition requires the MAM displacement amplitudeu and theζ-component of the fluid particle displacementuζ,rrto be equal at the MAM-fluid interface. With the series representations of u and ϕrr given in Eqs. (2.6) and (2.43), respectively, the following equation for the determination of the constantsars results:
X A weak form of Eq. (2.46) is obtained by employing the Galerkin method with the complex conjugates of the lateral fluid mode func-tions Ψr∗0s0 as weighting functions. After surface integration over the MAM, the resulting approximate relationship is given by

and RH denotes the conjugate transpose of R = (rmnrs) ∈ CN×N The nondimensional reradiated acoustic pressure field is derived from the potential functionϕrr via
βrr=−iκ0Z0ϕrr, (2.51) with the nondimensional characteristic impedance defined as Z0 = Z0Lx/p
m00mTm. Since the elements of the reradiated pressure vector βrr= (βrr,mn)∈CN in Eq. (2.37) are given by
βrr,mn =hΦmn, βrr(ξ, η,0)i, (2.52) the substitution of the series representation of ϕrr in Eq. (2.43) into Eq. (2.51) yields
βrr,mn =−iκ0Z0X

βrr=−iκ0Z0Ra. (2.54)
Substituting Eq. (2.48) for afinally yields the following expression for βrr, which is independent of the fluid modes amplitude vectora:
βrr = iΩκ0Z0RK−1RHc. (2.55) Inserting this expression into Eq. (2.37) and rearranging the system of equations (2.27) results in a system of equations for the fully coupled vibro-acoustic problem:
where the dimensionless radiation impedance matrix of the MAM unit cell
Ξ= 2κ0Z0RK−1RH (2.57) has been introduced. In terms of the modal formulation from Sec-tion 2.1.2, the modal system of equaSec-tions (2.32) is thus given by

In order to obtain the transmission coefficient τ from Eq. (1.1), the incident and transmitted sound powers Wi and Wt have to be cal-culated. Since the incident sound field is a plane acoustic wave with amplitude ˆPi0 and incidence angleθi, the former is given by

[22, p. 10]. Using the nondimensionalizations introduced above, this With Eqs. (2.6) and (2.51) as well as the series expansion of ϕrr in Eq. (2.43), this becomes
Using the solution for the coefficient vector a in Eq. (2.48) and the definition of the nondimensional radiation impedance matrix Ξ from Eq. (2.57), the final expression for the radiated power is obtained as
