Abstract
At present, in addition to the high-strength alloy steel still used in the main load-bearing structure of foreign nuclear submarines, many composite materials have been used for non-load-bearing components, and the common laminate is the main form of the composite plate and shell. The composite laminate with a carbon/glass hybrid material has excellent structural mechanical properties. The vibration and acoustic radiation theories of the composite laminate were analytically deduced, the effect of ply parameters in hybrid shell plates was analyzed, and the influence of the hybrid ratio on the stiffness of shell plate was also investigated. Furthermore, according to the theoretical description, the typical carbon/glass hybrid shell plate was designed and the experimental comparison on the vibro-acoustic properties with a steel plate was carried out. The results showed that the mass and stiffness of a 12 mm carbon/glass hybrid shell plate were only 30 and 70% compared with an 8 mm steel plate. The mass and stiffness of a 15 mm carbon/glass hybrid shell plate were about 40 and 160% of that of an 8 mm steel plate, and its vibration and noise reduction performance was far superior to the steel plate. Therefore, the composite shell plate can achieve excellent acoustic performance while meeting the structural-functional indicators.

1 Introduction
At present, the structural bearing safety and equipment [1] layout are the main factors in the design of underwater vehicles, lacking the structural design methods based on acoustic performance, such as structural form, size and material design. The existing control methods [2] for acoustic performance mainly rely on low-noise equipment, base vibration isolation and damping materials laid on the shell surface. However, still some problems exist, like the research and development level of low noise equipment is limited, the internal mechanical vibration is complex, and the external damping materials with screw connection are easy to fall off, resulting in the actual acoustics performance not being up to the expected level. At this stage, in addition to the high-strength alloy steel still used in the main load-bearing structure of foreign nuclear submarines, many composite materials have been used for non-load-bearing components. Common composite materials [3,4,5], such as fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP), can form seamless hulls with complex structures and have the advantages of lightweight, large damping, excellent designability, seawater corrosion resistance, impact resistance, non-magnetic, easy maintenance, and so on. About 60% of the non-pressure structures on the French triumphant class submarine are made of acoustic composite materials with integrated structures and functions. The U.S. Navy has realized practical applications of composite materials on the ship in sonar dome, sound transmission window, anechoic tile, propulsion device, pump, ventilation system and other parts. Structures with composite materials can achieve excellent acoustic [6] performance while meeting the structural-functional indicators. Experts and scholars have carried out a lot of research on the excellent properties of composite materials. Zhang et al. [7] showed that the rational design of composite structures can improve their dynamic performance. Amoozgar et al. [8] investigated the effectiveness of a resonance avoidance concept for composite rotor blades characterized by tensile-torsional elastic coupling. Murčinková et al. [9] obtained the damping properties of fiber composites through an experimental approach by using the free damped vibration measurement based on the impulse-force system response. Liang et al. [10] tested the sound insulation performance of the composite damping structure by the standing wave tube method and compared it with the composite laminate without a damping layer.
The dynamics of composite structures [11] is mostly studied for shell plates, and the common laminate is the main form of composite plates and shells. Currently, the most used is the equivalent single-layer theory to analyze the vibration problem of the laminated plate [12], orthogonal lay-up of four-sided simply supported and opposite-sided simply supported laminated plate can be obtained by the analytical method of free vibration analytical solutions [13]. However, for laminates with general boundary conditions and layups, approximate solutions are required, which mainly include the Rayleigh–Ritz method [14], finite difference method [15], differential product method [16], FEM method [17], and meshless method [18]. For example, Moreno-Garcia et al. [19] completed the mode shape curvatures to find the localization of damage in composite plates by finite differences. Liu et al. [20] used a differential quadrature finite element method (DQFEM) to discretize a layerwise shear deformation theory for the composite laminated plate. The research of Belinha et al. [21] showed that the mesh-free method can effectively analyze composite laminates subjected to static loads under linear elastic conditions.
In addition to the equivalent single-layer theory, some scholars have also studied the layered theory and three-dimensional elasticity theory to solve vibration problems. Wang and Zhang [22] used the finite strip method to analyze the free vibration problem of a laminated plate for different boundary cases. Plagianakos and Saravanos [23] used the same method to analyze the free vibration of a laminated plate by expanding the displacement within each layer in the plate with a cubic polynomial. Ye [24] carried out a three-dimensional electromechanical analysis of the free vibration of a laminated plate under different boundary conditions using the state space method. Li et al. [25,26] used the Jacobi–Ritz method to analyze the free vibration of a composite laminated structure and compared the results with finite element calculations to verify the accuracy and reliability of the method. Pang et al. [27] calculated the free vibration of composite laminated shells by the Rayleigh–Ritz method based on a multisegmentation strategy and first-order shear deformation theory. The vibration analysis of the transient response of laminated plates under dynamic loads still relies mainly on the finite element method for the solution [28]. Yang and Yang [29] proposed a varied constraint reaction model and a systematic numerical procedure to investigate the geometrically nonlinear transient responses of a laminated plate with a flexible pad support. As with an ordinary lightweight plate and shell, the acoustic problems encountered in engineering generally refer to sound radiation and sound scattering problems, and current research is mainly focused on frequency domain analysis. Most of the analytical models and methods for plates and shell structures can be applied to composite plates and shell structures. However, Skelton [30] also described in detail the analytical solutions of vibration and acoustic radiation for composite laminates, cylindrical shells and spherical shells in their monograph, based on the specificity of composite materials. Täger et al. [31] developed analytical vibro-acoustic simulation models, which allow a material-adapted structural-dynamic and sound radiation analysis of anisotropic multilayered composite plates. For the problem of solving the external acoustic field of complex composite materials, numerical methods are generally required. The structure can be discretized by finite elements, and the fluid can be treated by finite element, boundary element and infinite element methods.
According to the above literature reviews, many scholars have carried out research on vibration and sound radiation characteristics of composite laminates by using the analytical method, semi-analytical method and numerical method based on the shear deformation theory, etc. The above research has achieved fruitful results and preliminarily revealed the sound vibration coupling mechanism of composite laminates. However, the comprehensive properties of the above materials do not meet the engineering application conditions. For composite materials used in ships, not only the mechanical properties but also the comprehensive properties such as stealth and corrosion resistance should be considered. Carbon/glass hybrid composite laminates are gradually favored by people because of their many engineering applications and good application effects.
But in practical engineering applications, carbon/glass hybrid composite laminates do not show an excellent vibration and noise reduction performance as expected. The reason is that we have not effectively mastered the sound and vibration coupling mechanism of carbon/glass hybrid composite laminates. Thus, it is of much significance to study the underwater vibro-acoustic characteristics of carbon/glass hybrid composite laminates. This research was carried out under this background.
In this article, based on the engineering background of developing underwater vehicles, combined with the application example of composite materials, the vibro-acoustic theory of carbon/glass hybrid composite laminates was deduced, the analytical expression of its vibro-acoustic performance was derived, and the influence of structural parameters on the vibro-acoustic performance of composite laminates was analyzed. Furthermore, multiple composite laminates and structural steel plates were designed to explore the laws of their stiffness, vibration and acoustic radiation through experiments, which can provide a reference for the design of underwater vehicles with composite structures.
2 Vibro-acoustic theory of anisotropic composite laminate
Figure 1 shows the structure of a fiber-reinforced composite laminate. The material coordinate system and principal coordinate system are presented in Figure 2. At present, the research on the vibration and acoustic properties of composite laminates can be divided into the following two categories: one is based on the three-dimensional elastic theory and the other is based on two-dimensional elastic theory, including the classical laminated plate theory (CLPT), first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT), high-order shear deformation theory (HSDT) and discrete layer theory, which are based on a three-dimensional elastic theory with appropriate assumptions of stress distribution along the thickness direction.

There are three hybrid forms of reinforced fiber: mezzanine hybrid, interlayer hybrid and intralayer hybrid. Since intra-layer hybrid is rarely used in ship engineering structures, the stiffness comparison of mezzanine hybrid and interlayer hybrid was carried out. Figure 6 shows the bending stiffness of laminates with mezzanine hybrid and interlayer hybrid forms. It can be seen that the bending stiffness of laminate with the mezzanine hybrid structure was better than that with the interlayer hybrid structure. Besides, when the hybrid ratio was between 1.5 and 2, the laminate with the mezzanine hybrid structure can not only have high bending stiffness but also had good economic property, so it is a better design range for the hybrid ratio. The carbon/glass hybrid ratio of the hybrid composite laminate in the calculation process is about 1.6.

Stiffness variation of the laminate with the hybrid ratio.
3.1 Convergence analysis of the calculation model
The convergence of the calculation results is related to the modal truncation. Figure 7 shows the calculation results of the radiation sound power level and vibration velocity level of the laminate when the circumferential wave numbers (n) were 6, 8, 10, 12, and 15, and the axial wave numbers (m) were 6, 8, 10, 12, and 15, respectively. It can be seen that Figure 8(a) and (b) have relatively similar rules. As for the radiated sound power of laminate, the curves under five working conditions have basically overlapped in the lower frequency band (0–800 Hz), and it is considered that the calculation has converged in the lower mode. When the circumferential wave number was 12 and the axial wave number was 12, effective calculation accuracy can be ensured. In order to get more accurate results, the circumferential wave number and axial wave number were taken as 15 and 15.

Effect of modal truncation on computational convergence: (a) mean square vibration velocity and (b) the radiated sound power.

Effect of SW220 elastic modulus (E 1) on acoustic vibration characteristics: (a) mean square vibration velocity and (b) radiated sound power.
3.2 Effect of SW220 elastic modulus on vibration and sound radiation
As shown in Figure 8, the increase of modulus shifted the vibration and acoustic radiation peak of the laminate to a higher frequency, the peak value of spectral line also changed with the change of modulus, and differences existed in the peak value change rules under different frequency bands. This phenomenon was mainly due to the obvious difference in the motion law of the laminate in different frequency bands. In the low-frequency band, the bending deformation of the laminate mainly occurred. With the increase of the frequency band, the deformation of the laminate was mainly in the form of shear and tension, so the effect of shear modulus in the low-frequency band was far less than that of the elastic modulus, and the effect on the vibration and acoustic radiation responses of the laminate structure can only be produced at a relatively high frequency. In addition, the effect of
3.3 Effect of layer numbers in the carbon/glass hybrid laminate on the acoustic and vibration characteristics
The effect of layer numbers on vibration and acoustic characteristics is shown in Figures 9–11. The ply thickness had an important influence on the vibration and sound radiation of the composite laminate. The increase of layer numbers in the composite laminate can improve its thickness and stiffness, which was helpful to reduce the vibration and sound radiation. It was consistent with the acoustic and vibration characteristics of the shell plate with the same material. The increase of thickness can significantly reduce the vibration but the effect on the sound radiation was not significant. The increase of layer thickness reduced the vibration, but caused the shell plate to produce radiation noise easily in the form of transverse compression waves and improved the sound radiation efficiency. The results showed that the increase of thickness had more advantages to the vibro-acoustic suppression in the low-frequency band. The bending vibration of the shell plate was dominant in this frequency band, and the increase of bending stiffness was beneficial to the vibro-acoustic suppression.

4 Experimental analysis of carbon/glass hybrid shell plate samples
4.1 Design scheme of the carbon/glass hybrid shell plate
The structural design aimed at the composite material system for underwater application was carried out to ensure that it can meet the marine environmental conditions. Based on the steel shell plate element (8 mm, Q235), the carbon/glass hybrid shell plate element was further proposed for comparison, as shown in Figure 12.

Shell plate samples: (a) steel shell plate and (b) carbon/glass hybrid shell plate.
The resin base material of the designed carbon/glass hybrid shell plates was 350 epoxy resin, and the fiber reinforcement was T700 unidirectional cloth (T), E800 multiaxial cloth (E) and SW200 fabric (S). They were prepared through a vacuum-assisted molding process, and the structure of shell plates was determined through the design of layer proportion, layer sequence, technology and electrochemical corrosion. The steel shell plate is shown in Figure 12(a), and the shell plate is shown in Figure 12(b). Two kinds of carbon/glass hybrid shell plates with different thicknesses were made. The lamination mode and structural parameters of an 8 mm carbon/glass hybrid shell plate are shown in Table 2 and the relative stiffness and relative mass of the 8 mm structural steel shell plate are given as a comparison. The layout scheme of a 15 mm carbon/glass hybrid laminate is shown in Table 3.

4.2 Experimental setup
The shell plate structure is the basic unit of the ship structure. The low noise level of the shell plate directly affects the radiated noise level of a ship hull. In order to simplify the calculation process, the shell plate element is usually embedded in an infinite baffle to compute its acoustic radiation but there is no such baffle in reality. In order to verify the effect of shell plate parameters in a barrier-free fluid medium, the following experiment contents were designed.
The experiment was carried out in a finite area anechoic tank. The shell plate was placed in the tank by flexible suspension of a rubber rope, which was 300 mm away from the still water surface. The exciter was suspended above the shell plate by a truss crane, and the white noise signal was input to excite the center of the shell plate. The excitation frequency band was 0–5 kHz. The vibration response and the radiated sound pressure on the back side of the shell plate were measured. The force sensor was fixed between the exciting rod and the shell plate, and nine acceleration sensors (#1 to #9) were uniformly distributed on the lower side of the shell plate, as shown in Figure 13. The hydrophones were uniformly arranged parallel to the radial surface of the shell plate in the tank and 1,800 mm above the water surface (1,500 mm vertically from the shell plate). These hydrophones form a

Experimental system: (a) test status and (b) hydrophones installation.
The vibration response and near-field radiation sound pressure of the three shell plates were measured under the center-point excitation. The test was carried out in air and underwater, respectively, and the test results were compared. The signal type of excitation was white noise, and the average spectral measurement required by 90% confidence was given. Since the coherence function in the test frequency band was greater than 0.80, if the random error was guaranteed to be less than 5%, 200 spectra can fully meet the reliability requirements. The acceleration level and sound pressure level were all obtained by superposition and average processing as energy, and the acceleration vibration level and sound pressure level of the shell plate in the frequency band of 0–1.5 kHz were compared. The average vibration acceleration level can be expressed as
where n is the total number of measuring points, L i is the vibration acceleration level curve of the ith measuring point, dB, and the reference value of vibration acceleration a 0 is 10−6 m·s−2. The total vibration acceleration level of the measuring point can be expressed as
where m is the total number of frequency points in the test frequency band and L j is the vibration acceleration level of the jth frequency point, dB. If the test point has been averaged, L j represents the average vibration acceleration level. The sound pressure level is obtained in the same way as the acceleration vibration level.
4.3 Comparison of underwater vibration and sound radiation characteristics of different shell plates
Based on the division of frequency bands by noise control discipline, the sound waves are divided into three frequency bands: low frequency (0–300 Hz), medium frequency (300–1,000 Hz) and high frequency (above 1 kHz). According to this, the test results of acceleration total vibration level and radiation total sound pressure level in water of the three shell plates in three frequency bands are given in Table 4. Figure 15 shows the average acceleration response vibration level in air and water, and the average radiation sound pressure level in water of the three shell plates.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Steel shell plate (8.0 mm) | Acceleration | Air | 133.56 | 150.05 | 157.29 | 158.06 |
Total vibration level (dB) | Water | 130.76 | 142.74 | 151.09 | 151.72 | |
Total sound pressure level (dB) | Water | 125.32 | 145.54 | 147.86 | 150.54 | |

Total vibration level (dB) | Water | 133.41 | 145.71 | 148.97 | 150.73 | |
Total sound pressure level (dB) | Water | 122.92 | 148.95 | 148.79 | 151.42 | |
Carbon/glass hybrid shell plate (15.0 mm) | Acceleration | Air | 139.41 | 153.11 | 149.11 | 154.69 |
Total vibration level (dB) | Water | 123.80 | 141.42 | 143.78 | 145.79 | |
Total sound pressure level (dB) | Water | 123.46 | 144.19 | 144.98 | 147.63 |

Comparison of acceleration vibration and sound pressure level under condition 2: (a) acceleration vibration levels (in air), (b) acceleration vibration levels (in water), and (c) radiation sound pressure levels (in water).
Comparing the acceleration vibration level curves of the three shell plates, it showed the same rule in air and water. The vibration of the shell plate under water was lower than that in the air in all frequency bands. The total vibration levels of an 8 mm steel plate, a 12 mm carbon/glass hybrid plate and a 15 mm carbon/glass hybrid plate in water and air in the frequency band of 0–1,500 Hz were about 6, 10, and 11 dB, respectively.
For the acceleration vibration levels of the three shell plates under water, the vibration response of a 15 mm carbon/glass hybrid shell plate was much smaller than that of the other two shell plates in the low-frequency range (0–300 Hz). Besides, the vibration response of a 15 mm carbon/glass hybrid shell plate was still smaller than that of the other two shell plates, but the difference was relatively lower in the middle- and high-frequency band above 300 Hz. In general, the mass and stiffness of a 12 mm carbon/glass hybrid shell plate were only 30 and 70% of that of an 8 mm steel plate. However, the vibration response control degree of a 12 mm carbon/glass hybrid shell plate was almost the same as that of an 8 mm steel plate. The stiffness of a 15 mm carbon/glass hybrid shell plate was greatly improved, and the mass was still less than 40% of that of an 8 mm steel plate. In addition, its vibration suppression performance was significantly better than that of an 8 mm steel plate, and the underwater total vibration in the full frequency range (0–8 kHz) can be reduced by 6 dB.
Compared with the underwater sound pressure level curves of the three shell plates, there was no significant difference in the low-frequency band below 300 Hz. With the increase of frequency, the noise reduction performance of a 15 mm carbon/glass hybrid shell plate was more obvious. Although the vibration level of the shell plate was relatively small, the radiation efficiency was relatively higher, which indicated that the reduction of radiation sound pressure was not as significant as that of the vibration level compared with the steel plate, and the sound pressure level of a 15 mm carbon/glass hybrid shell plate can be reduced by about 3 dB compared with the other two shell plates.
Therefore, in the test frequency band (0–1,500 Hz), the total sound pressure level was of the order of 12 mm carbon/glass hybrid plate (151.42 dB) >8 mm steel plate (150.54 dB) >15 mm carbon/glass hybrid plate (147.63 dB).
5 Conclusions
In this article, the vibration and sound radiation characteristics of composite laminates were investigated. Taking the underwater simply supported composite laminate as an example, the vibro-acoustic properties of shell plates with different structural parameters were calculated and compared, and the influence of different parameters on the vibro-acoustic properties was analyzed. On this basis, the comparative design of the steel plate and the carbon/glass hybrid shell plate was completed, and the experimental test was carried out in the finite area anechoic tank, and the difference of vibro-acoustic properties between the steel plate and composite shell plates was analyzed. The main conclusions are as follows:
The ply design of the carbon/glass hybrid shell plate had a great influence on structural stiffness and mechanical properties. When the hybrid ratio is around 1.6, the economy and performance are all good.
The effect of the shear modulus at low frequency is far less than that of the elastic modulus. The increase of the shell plate thickness had more advantages on the vibro-acoustic suppression in the low-frequency band.
Based on reducing the weight and improving the stiffness, the carbon/glass composite can significantly reduce the structural vibration and noise radiation, and achieve excellent acoustic performance while meeting structural-functional indicators.
