Thin-walled components are commonly employed in the broadly understood engineering applications. From building construction, to machine building and acoustic system components. The design calculations for this type of structures are complex and time consuming. The paper presents an MES analysis of a thin-walled component in the example of a speaker membrane. The aim of the analysis is to determine the deformation characteristics of the membrane as a function of its deflection by the voice coil. The examined component is constructed from two materials, which was reflected in the model. The paper presents the methodology of building the MES model, modeling of selected materials forming the structural composition of the membrane as well as interpretation of results. The contents provided in the paper may be of use for the purpose of determining the correct construction of these components in order to improve their working efficiency.
