In the analysis of an acoustic radiation mode of a baffled plate, Rayleigh integral with free space Green's function is involved. The boundary element method (BEM) is one of the approaches to compute its modes and radiation efficiencies. In this paper a fast multipole BEM in conjunction with an iterative solver based on the implicit restart Arnold method is proposed to efficiently and accurately evaluate acoustic radiation modes and efficiencies. Even though a 3D free space Green's function is used here, a quad tree is used for the hierarchical tree structure of the boundary mesh instead of an oct tree, which can speed up the fast multipole BEM. Similar to the analytical integration of moment evaluations, the analytical integration is also employed to compute the local expansion coefficients which further improves the efficiency of the fast multipole BEM for the analysis of an acoustic radiation mode of baffled plates. Comparison between numerical and theoretical radiation efficiencies of a baffled circular plate vibrating as a piston shows that the fast multipole BEM proposed here can give results with very good accuracy. The computation of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a baffled rectangular plate further reveals the efficiency in CPU time, smaller memory size, and accuracy of the fast multipole BEM in the analysis of an acoustic radiation mode.
