This paper presents a screening technique to assess the impact on model fidelity introduced by variations in the properties or positions of features in harmonically forced fluid-loaded structural acoustic models. The perspective taken is one of knowledge of a reference state, with a desire to determine the impact on the total radiated acoustic power due to perturbations in the reference state. Such perturbations change the predicted resonance frequencies of a structure under consideration, and hence, change the predicted response amplitudes. The method uses a single degree of freedom response model in the local region of each fluid-loaded resonance, coupled with eigenvalue sensitivities or variations, to estimate the perturbation impact. The perturbation is scaled by the degree to which each given mode participates in the response quantity of interest. The SDOF model yields results that indicate that proportional bandwidth analysis will be less sensitive to perturbation than constant bandwidth analysis. This is demonstrated through comparison of a constant bandwidth analysis and a 1/3 octave analysis applied to the same system. Elements of the analysis method are not necessarily restricted to model perturbations nor acoustic power, rather they may be used to assess the perturbation of any quadratic response quantity of interest due to changes in resonance frequency.
