Abstrakt: This paper investigates the effects of bi-directional gradation, length-to-height ratio, and end conditions on the acoustic behaviour of bi-directionally varying functional graded beams. The acoustic responses, including sound-power level (dB), sound-pressure level (dB), and sound-radiation efficiency, are evaluated using Rayleigh's integral and modal superposition method. The sound power levels are presented up to the selected bandwidth, as well as the octave band center frequency. In contrast, the sound pressure levels are presented as contour plots and in directivity pattern. The buckling load, calculated for quadratically decreasing axial load, is applied in increments from 0 to its highest value. The study reveals that the highest value in the gradation indexes in both directions significantly influences the sound power levels. It is also evident from the study that thin beams have higher sound power levels compared to thick beams. The directivity pattern reveals that bi-directional functionally graded beams predict higher sound pressure levels at the critical buckling load. From the current acoustic study, it is observed that both structural and end stiffness are influential factors in sound power levels (dB) and sound pressure levels (dB). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
