Abstract
In this work, numerical and experimental investigations on the acoustic power, radiated by Aluminium Foam Sandwich panels, are carried out. Two different Alulight® specimens, made of the same material but with different thickness and percentage of foam density, are investigated. A Finite Element model is used to estimate the distribution of velocity over the panel surface and, then, the radiated acoustic power is calculated through the discrete formulation of the Rayleigh integral for flat radiators. The numerical model is validated by means of experimental tests, performed by using a sound intensity technique.
