Abstract
The energy finite element method was developed to predict the average response of built-up structural acoustic systems consisting of subsystems such as rods, beams, plates, and acoustical enclosures. The methodology for predicting the behavior in the subsystems is based on a diffuse energy field approximation that is most appropriate for high frequency analysis where traditional finite element approaches become expensive. Subsystems are coupled together using net energy flow and energy superposition principles.
