Acoustically induced random vibration of satellite equipment mounted on honeycomb panels is a critical design consideration in satellite equipment development. Prediction of this random vibration is performed in the early stage of satellite design to specify the design limit value of random vibration excitation for satellite equipment. Various prediction methods for response prediction using Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) have been developed: (i) NASA Lewis method, (ii) point-mass impedance method, and (iii) area-coupling impedance method. However, the first method has limited accuracy for heavy and concentrated equipment, the second one often overestimates, and the third one requires a detailed parameter. A new method combining the asymptotic apparent mass of specific equipment with NASA Lewis method is proposed herein. This proposed method takes the elastic behavior of satellite equipment rather than a rigid mass. The acoustic excitation experiments for nine real satellites (404 equipments in all) were conducted to compare existing methods to the proposed method statistically. Results show that the proposed method provides the most accurate prediction in the important frequency range.
