title = "Improving screw compressor housing design using simulation",
abstract = "The sound radiation from a rotary screw compressor was simulated using structural finite element and acoustic boundary element analysis. The modes of the housing were measured with and without the screws. Finite element modal analysis results were compared to the experimental modes with good agreement. Results demonstrated that the internal components affected the bending modes but not the cylinder modes of the compressor housing. The sound radiation from the compressor housing was then predicted using acoustic boundary element analysis. The results indicated that the 2nd and 4th pumping frequencies were close to structural modes. Subsequent simulations investigated the effect of design changes on the housing via a thicker cylinder and the addition of ribs.",
