Abstract
A method is provided for testing structural-acoustic systems using a shaker table. The method includes subjecting a panel structure design to a computational acoustic load and a computational vibration load. The method then computes the ratio of the panel structure maximum response to the acoustic load to the panel structure maximum response to the vibration load. The ratio of these two maximum responses provides a conversion factor for linking an acoustic environment to a vibration environment. Using the conversion factor, the method converts a sonic pressure load for the panel structure to a vibration load. The vibration load is then applied to a panel structure using a shaker table.
