Summary
This paper deals with the eigenpairs and its fundamental properties of a strongly
coupled rectangular cavity comprising five rigid walls and one flexible panel
frequently employed in the literature. The basic characteristics of the eigenpairs of a
strongly coupled cavity are deciphered with a particular emphasis on an evanescent
cavity mode generated as a result of strong coupling between an acoustic field and a
structural field. The properties of the orthogonality of strongly coupled cavity
modes are then discussed, the strongly coupled modal orthogonality conditions in
terms of mass and compliance being derived. It is shown that the coupling modal
orthogonality conditions signify that the eigenfunctions of a coupled cavity are no
longer orthogonal to each other in the sole sound field or in the sole vibration field,
but are orthogonal in a manner that a set of eigenfunctions after coupling are
orthogonal with another set of eigenfunctions. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the
modal orthogonal conditions may be a cornerstone the eigenpairs of the coupled
cavity need satisfying, thereby verifying the validity of the eigenpairs newly found
or already existent.
