PAFEC-VibroAcoustics - Audio




Air is a light medium and hence will generally have a lesser effect on a vibrating structure than in underwater acoustics. However the cone, dustcap and surround of a loudspeaker drive unit are also light, and hence to obtain accurate results a fully coupled analysis is necessary.

Application Areas


  • cone breakup
  • cabinet cavity modes
  • radiation from drive unit
  • diffraction from edges
  • placement of speakers in a small room
  • radiation from panels
  • horn design
  • load/displacement computation for spiders and surrounds
  • compression driver design
