When predicting shipboard noise levels, the accuracy depends largely on the value of the structureborne noise transmission loss. Although empirical formulars are frequently used because of their simplicities, researches on the analytical methods to estimate the transmission loss of structureborne noise such as wave guide theory and SEA has long been one of the major topics in shipboard acoustics to overcome the inherent limitations of empirical ones. This paper describes an application of SEA to predict the transmission loss of the structurebornenoise of a simple ship-like structural model consisted of 22 flat plates. The result shows that discrepancies between experimental and theoretical transmission losses are less than 3 dB.
