In this paper, an improved hybrid finite element (FE)-statistical energy analysis (SEA) method is proposed for the mid-frequency vibration of vibro-acoustic systems. Within the framework of the hybrid FE-SEA method, the present method reduces the size of the total dynamic matrix of a vibro-acoustic system by employing dynamic condensation to reduce the order of the dynamic matrix of the acoustic cavity. A fast algorithm is introduced to obtain the dynamic flexibility matrix of the slave degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) of the acoustic cavity FE model, thereby avoiding the direct inverse computation of a large dynamic stiffness matrix at each frequency point of interest. The first numerical example illustrates the validity and efficiency of the present method, while the convergence and accuracy analysis of the proposed method is investigated numerically by the second example.
