Definitions

  • the invention relates to a panel-form loudspeaker utilizing a transparent sound radiation panel that can generate beneficial and effective vibrational normal modes for radiating sound with desired pressure level over a specific frequency range.
  • the invention relates to a transparent panel-form loudspeaker utilizing a preselected number of transducers to excite a peripherally supported transparent panel to generate beneficial flexuralvibrational mode shapes for radiating sound with desired pressure level over a specific frequency range.
  • Conventional loudspeakers utilizing a cone-type membrane as a sound radiator have been widely used.
  • the sound radiation of the conventional loudspeaker is achieved by attaching an electrodynamic type voice coil transducer to the smaller end of the cone-type membrane and using the transducer to drive the cone-type membrane to move back and forth.
  • an enclosure is necessary to prevent low-frequency waves from the rear of the loudspeaker, which are out of phase with those from the front, from diffracting around to the front and interfering destructively with the waves from the front.
  • the existence of such enclosure makes the loudspeaker cumbersome, weighty, having dead comer for sound radiation and etc.
  • the shortcomings of the conventional loudspeakers together with the impact of the rapid growth of flat display devices such as LC and Plasma TV have led to the intensive development of panel-form loudspeakers in recent years and many proposals of making panel-form loudspeakers have thus been resulted.
  • Watters used the concept of coincidence frequency, where the speed of flexural wave in panel matches the speed of sound in air, to design a light and stiff strip element of composite structure that can sustain flexural waves and produce a highly directional sound radiation over a specified frequency range.
  • the opaqueness, highly directional sound radiation, and geometry of the long radiating panel have limited the applications of this type of panel-form loudspeakers.
  • Heron designed a panel-form loudspeaker which had a resonant multi-mode radiation panel.
  • the radiation panel was a skinned composite with a honeycomb core. At its comer there was a transducer used for exciting the plate to generate multi-modal flexural vibration with frequencies above the fundamental and coincidence frequencies of the panel and provide, hopefully, high sound radiation efficiency.
  • the location of the transducer on the panel is chosen in such a way that the transducer is not situated at any of the nodal lines of the first 20 to 25 resonant modes and all the natural frequencies that have been excited in the selected frequency range are uniformly distributed.
  • the panel-form loudspeakers designed using this method can produce sound with wider frequency range than those using the other previously proposed methods, there are still some shortcomings that may limit the applications of this panel-form loudspeakers.
  • One of such shortcomings is that the near center location of the transducer can hinder viewers from seeing through the radiating panel even though the panel itself is transparent.
  • Another major shortcoming of the panel-form loudspeaker is the existence of severe fluctuations in the spectrum of sound pressure level.
  • resonant modes For a panel under vibration, there may be several thousand resonant modes with frequencies falling in the range from 50 to 20 KHz. If the location of the transducer is merely determined using the first 20 to 25 resonant modes, it will be inevitable that some resonant modes in the middle and high frequency ranges will be over- or under-excited and this may lead to the formations of unfavourable peaks and pits in the sound pressure level spectrum of the panel-form loudspeaker. It also is worthy to point out that another source contributing to the severe fluctuations in the sound pressure level spectrum is the interference of sound waves radiated from different regions on the panel radiator. For a vibrating panel, the sound waves radiated from the convex and concave regions on the panel surface are out-of-phase and can cause interference among them.
  • the transparent panel-form loudspeaker includes a thin transparent sound radiation panel made of transparent materials, a preselected number of transducers situated at specific locations on the peripheral edge of the transparent sound radiation panel, a flexible suspension device used to support the peripheral edge of the transparent sound radiation panel, and a rigid frame used to carry the flexible suspension device.
  • Sound quality and radiation efficiency of the transparent panel-form loudspeaker over a desired acoustic frequency range are dependent on values of particular parameters of the transparent panel-form loudspeaker, including the ratio of elastic modulus to density, the ratio of length to thickness of the transparent sound radiation panel and locations of the transducers, and supporting points of the flexible suspension device on the peripheral edge of the transparent sound radiation panel.
  • a proper selection of the values of the parameters can produce the required achievable sound pressure level spectrum of the transparent panel-form loudspeaker for operation over a desired acoustic frequency range.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a method for designing a transparent panel-form loudspeaker which includes a transparent sound radiation panel, a number of transducers mounted at specific locations on the peripheral edge of the transparent sound radiation panel, a flexible suspension device supporting the peripheral edge of the panel, and a rigid frame for carrying the flexible suspension device.
  • Optimal values of the parameters of the transparent panel-form loudspeaker including the ratio of elastic modulus to density, the ratio of length to thickness of the transparent sound radiation panel, and locations of the transducers and supporting points of the suspension device on the peripheral edge of the transparent sound radiation panel, are selected in the design process to achieve the required sound pressure level spectrum of the transparent panel-form loudspeaker for operation over a desired acoustic frequency range.
  • the method for the design of the present transparent panel-form loudspeaker is established on the basis of the effective modal parameters identification method which utilizes both the analyses of modal vibration and sound pressure level spectrum in identifying the beneficial modal parameters of the transparent panel radiator for sound radiation.
  • the effective modal parameters identification method a vibrating transparent panel is modeled as a surface sound source which displaces air volume at the interface.
  • the sound pressure radiated form the plate can be evaluated using Rayleigh's first integral.
  • the vibrating panel is an unbaffled plate of finite size, the sound pressure at any point can be evaluated using the finite element or boundary element methods.
  • Equation (1) the sound pressure level at the measurement point
  • P rms the root-mean-square value of sound pressure at the measurement point
  • P ref the reference pressure which is a constant.
  • Equation (1) the magnitude of sound pressure at a specific point depends only on the displacement amplitudes and phases of the surface elements. It is obvious that the sound pressure is directly proportional to the displacement amplitudes of the surface elements of the panel while the phases of the surface elements may have beneficial or adverse effects on the sound pressure.
  • the phases of the surface elements depend on the deflected shape of the panel wherein the phase difference between the positive and negative displacements of the surface elements is 180°. Consequently, for surface elements of the panel oscillating in opposite phase, the sound pressures generated by the adjacent regions of opposite phase tend to short circuit each other. Therefore, it is important that proper displacement amplitudes and deflected shape should be generated for the panel if a specific sound pressure level is desired.
  • the displacement amplitudes and phases of the surface elements can be determined in the modal analysis of the panel.
  • the modal analysis of the panel can be accomplished using the finite element method or any appropriate analytical method.
  • the deflection of a vibrating panel, W(x, y), which is approximated by the sum of a finite number of modal deflections can be expressed in the following form where A i , ⁇ i (x, y), ⁇ i are modal amplitudes, mode shapes and modal phase angles, respectively; n is number of modes. It is noted that the displacement magnitude and deflected shape of the panel are dependent on the modal parameters, A i , ⁇ i and ⁇ i , which in turn depend on the mass, stiffness, damping and locations of excitation of the panel.
  • the amplification of modal amplitude at resonance together with the coincidence of the excitation location with the point where the maximum deflection of the mode shape occurs may drastically raise the sound pressure level at the resonant frequency and thus form a sharp peak in the sound pressure level spectrum.
  • the coincidence of the excitation location with any one of the node lines of the mode under excitation when coupled with the small displacements contributed from other modes may drastically reduce the sound pressure level at the resonant frequency and thus form a valley in the sound pressure level spectrum.
  • Equation (3) if the dominant vibration mode has an anti-symmetric mode shape, the sound waves emitting from regions of opposite vibration phase on the panel tend to short circuit each other and such interferences of sound waves of opposite phase may lead to an immense decrease in sound pressure level generated at this vibration frequency. All the aforementioned difficulties encountered in the design of a sound radiating panel, if improperly tackled, may lead to the production of unacceptable fluctuations in the sound pressure level spectrum over the audible frequency range for the panel.
  • the modal parameters that can cause beneficial or adverse effects on sound radiation should be identified and then taken into account in the design of a radiating panel so that a more uniform distribution of sound pressure level over a specific frequency range can be obtained for the panel.
  • a properly designed radiating panel should have a suitable distribution of natural frequencies over the selected acoustic frequency range and avoid clustering of natural frequencies so that the modal parameters associated with the specific natural frequencies, which are in the vicinity of the excitation frequency and have direct effects on sound radiation at the excitation frequency, can provide suitable contributions to the sound pressure level at the excitation frequency.
  • the specific natural frequencies are divided into two groups, i.e., the one that has beneficial effects on sound radiation and the other that has adverse effects on sound radiation.
  • the contribution of the beneficial group of natural frequencies to sound pressure level can be increased by maximizing the modal amplitudes associated with those natural frequencies while the contribution of the adverse group of natural frequencies can be reduced or alleviated by minimizing the modal amplitudes or altering the mode shapes and phases associated with those natural frequencies.
  • modal parameters are dependent on the mass, stiffness, damping and locations of excitation of a panel.
  • the panel stiffness it is affected by the elastic modulus of the constitutent material, the dimensions of the panel, and the support conditions around the peripheral edge of the panel.
  • one part of a flexible suspension device is used to support the panel at several specific points on the peripheral edge of the panel. Altering the locations of the discrete supporting points and/or the stiffness of the suspension device can vary the stiffness and the thus the modal parameters of the panel.
  • Damping has direct effects on the modal amplitudes and phases. In general, panels with damping less than 10 ⁇ are suitable to be used as sound radiators.
  • optimization methods have been extensively used in the design of engineering products. Since the use of an appropriate optimization method can produce the best design for an engineering product in an efficient and effective way, it is thus advantageous to use an optimization method in the design of the present transparent panel-form sound radiator.
  • a two-level optimization technique is adopted to design a rectangular radiating panel with given area (a ⁇ b).
  • the optimal values of the ratios of elastic modulus to density and length to thickness are determined to maximize the sound pressure levels of some specific acoustic frequencies for the panel with given locations of excitation and supporting points.
  • a transparent panel with given thickness made of specific material is then selected to complete this level of optimization.
  • the locations of excitation and supporting points for the chosen transparent panel are determined to make the distribution of sound pressure level more uniform in a specific frequency range.
