Abstract

The numerical calculation of the sound radiation of a loudspeaker is a computer-aided design/engineering tool for use in a loudspeaker development department. It consists of two parts: the calculation of the mechanical vibration of a loudspeaker diaphragm and the calculation of the resulting sound radiation. The latter, which uses an efficient implementation of the finite-element method, is described.
