Abstract
The modal acoustic radiation load on a spherical surface undergoing angularly periodic axisymmetric harmonic vibrations while immersed in an acoustic halfspace with a rigid (infinite impedance) planar boundary is analyzed in an exact fashion using the classical technique of separation of variables. The formulation utilizes the appropriate wave field expansions, the classical method of images and the appropriate translational addition theorem to simulate the relevant boundary conditions for the given configuration. The associated acoustic field quantities such as the modal impedance matrix and the modal acoustic radiation force acting on the spherical surface are determined. The analytical results are illustrated with a numerical example in which the spherical surface, excited in vibrational modes of various orders, is immersed near an impervious rigid wall. The presented solution could eventually be used to validate those obtained by numerical approximation techniques.
