<title>ABSTRACT</title>
<p>Prediction of acoustic power transmission within a fluid-filled pipe system is not easy
because of the coupling between acoustic field in the fluid and structural wave field.
For regular shape structures, such as cylindrical pipe, an analytic method has a merit
of explicitly reflecting related physical meaning and saving computer time, compared to
finite element method. In this work, an analytic study on the acousto-structural coupling
of a fluid-filled thin cylindrical pipe is carried out using the Impedance-Mobility Approach
(IMA). For industrial cylindrical pipe with relatively large ratio of thick to radius, the
other modes but beam mode is usually ignored. In order to predict the response of
relatively thin cylindrical pipe, the curvature effects of a cylindrical shell are considered.
Describing equations for such acousto-structural coupling are derived from the wave
equation and the dynamic equation of a cylindrical shell. In order to validate the IMA
model developed, the acousto-structural response of a cylindrical pipe filled with air is
calculated using IMA and FEA, respectively, which reveals the good agreement between
IMA and FEA results. Finally, the calculations of sound transmission loss for air-filled
and heavy fluid-filled pipe are performed.</p>
