TREATMENT OF RANK DEFICIENCY IN ACOUSTICS USING SVD

    https://doi.org/10.1142/S0218396X06002998Cited by:32 (Source: Crossref)

    In this paper, we proposed a unified formulation to explain the reason why spurious eigensolution occurs in the eigenproblem of interior acoustics using the real-part and imaginary-part BEMs and why fictitious frequency occurs in exterior acoustics using the complex-valued BEM. Both the two problems stem from the rank deficiency of the influence matrix. Based on the circulant properties and degenerate kernels, an analytical study in a discrete system for a circular cavity is conducted. The Fredholm alternative theorem is employed to study the rank-deficiency problems in conjunction with singular value decomposition updating technique. The spurious and fictitious boundary modes are found to locate in the column vectors of left unitary matrix. Also, the effects of different types of boundary condition on the spurious and fictitious solutions using direct and indirect methods are discussed. The mathematical and physical meanings for the nontrivial boundary solution in spurious eigensolution and fictitious frequency are explained. Numerical experiments are found to agree with the analytical predictions.
