Optimization of Sound Transmission Loss through a Thin Functionally Graded Material Cylindrical Shell

The maximizing of sound transmission loss (TL) across a functionally graded material (FGM) cylindrical shell has been conducted using a genetic algorithm (GA). To prevent the softening effect from occurring due to optimization, the objective function is modified based on the first resonant frequency...
