The noise of the scientific experiment rack radiates into the space station through the skinned structure, which directly affects the safety and health of astronauts in orbit for a long time, so it is necessary to carry out low-noise design. Firstly, the finite element model of the panel structure is established, and the correctness of the model is verified by modal test. Secondly, select a point as the vibration excitation point on the finite element model of the plate structure to simulate the vibration input of the excitation source, obtain its vibration response through the modal superposition method, take the vibration response as the boundary condition of the acoustic boundary element, use the modal acoustic transfer vector technology to calculate the radiation noise of the plate structure, and verify it through the noise test in the half anechoic chamber. Then, the acoustic pressure contribution analysis of the radiated noise from the skinned panel structure is carried out, and the panel area which can reduce the radiated noise of the target is determined. The constrained damping layer is applied in this area. The results show that the radiated noise at the target position is significantly reduced.
