4.21. Plane circular piston radiating from one side only in free space

The specific impedance (N·s/m3) of the air load on a plane piston in free space, which has one surface vibrating sinusoidally while the other remains stationary, is given by Eqs. (13.254) and (13.255) and plotted in Fig. 4.39.

a  This table gives element sizes for analogous circuits in the region where ka   <   0.5 and ka   >   5. All constants are dimensionless. For the region between 0.5 and 5.0, the chart of Fig. 4.38 should be used.

Graphs of the real and imaginary parts of the normalized mechanical impedance Z M a 2 ρ 0 c as a function of ka for a piston so mounted are shown in Fig. 12.36. It is simply the mean of the impedances of a plane circular piston in an infinite baffle and the same in free space.
To a fair approximation, the radiation impedance for a one-sided piston in free space may be represented over the entire frequency range by the same analogous circuits used for the piston in an infinite baffle and shown in Fig. 4.37, where the elements now are
