Abstract:
This is a case study about noise and vibration control problems, and the design constraints and solutions for a proposed installation of a magnetic resonance imaging system (MRI) in an existing medical research facility. Manufacturer's data indicated that airborne sound level emissions over a broad frequency span could exceed permissible noise criteria for nearby occupied rooms. The building structure also required reinforcement to accommodate the MRI magnet's concentrated load, but invasive disturbance to a transgenic research mouse vivarium on the floor below was prohibited. The structure borne vibration paths needed attenuation or isolation. Design parameters included structural strength, stiffness and the specific platform resonant frequency (non-coincident with known vibration sources or building structure). In addition, acoustical containment was required for anticipated noises from the magnet room, to prevent excessive or annoying and distracting noise in the MRI control room or other adjacent (but unrelated) research, animal holding and office spaces. Structural “de-tuning” and architectural “decoupling” concepts were employed. A resonant frequency criterion was recommended for the new structural floor design. A combination of vibration spectrum analysis, dynamic analyses of alternate structural concepts and existing physical conflict constraints led to the design of an independent platform floor above the existing building floor. Post construction floor vibration measurements were compared to earlier measurement data to show quantitative change in performance. The modifications satisfied acoustical criteria and occupants' subjective evaluations.

Abstract:
Owing to a steep rise in urban population, there has been a continuous growth in construction of buildings, public or private transport like cars, motorbikes, trains, and planes at a global level. Hence, urban noise has become a major issue affecting the health and quality of human life. In the current environmental scenario, architectural acoustics has been directed towards controlling and manipulating sound waves at a desired level. Structural engineers and designers are moving towards green technologies, which may help improve the overall comfort level of residents. A variety of conventional sound absorbing materials are being used to reduce noise, but attenuation of low-frequency noise still remains a challenge. Recently, acoustic metamaterials that enable low-frequency sound manipulation, mitigation, and control have been widely used for architectural acoustics and traffic noise mitigation. This review article provides an overview of the role of acoustic metamaterials for architectural acoustics and road noise mitigation applications. The current challenges and prominent future directions in the field are also highlighted.

Abstract:
The scope of this research concerns the passive damping of structural vibrations by the use of viscoelastic layers. It is motivated by the need for efficient numerical tools to deal with the medium frequency behaviour of industrial viscoelastic sandwich products. The sandwich modelling technique is based on the use of an interface element: the two deformable plates are modelled by special plate elements while the intermediate dissipative layer is modelled with interface elements. This interface element is based on the first-order shear deformation theory and assume constant peel and shear stresses in the polymer thickness. This element couples the lower and upper layers without additional degrees of freedom. The partition of unity finite element method (PUFEM) is applied to the development of enriched Mindlin plate elements. The element shape functions are obtained as the product of

partition of unity functions with arbitrary chosen enrichment functions. Polynomial enrichment leads to the generation of high-order polynomial shape functions and is therefore similar to a p-FEM technique. Numerical examples illustrate the use of both PUFEM Mindlin plate elements and interface elements for the simulation of viscoelastic sandwich structures.

O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar o desempenho acústico de um sistema construtivo modular e industrializado por meio do método simplificado de campo indicado pelas normas ABNT NBR 15575-4:2013 e ISO 10052:2004, analisando as vedações verticais internas e externas quanto ao isolamento ao ruído aéreo e as comparando com análises já realizadas em outras edificações de trabalhos conhecidos. A indústria de construção civil, em todo o mundo, encontra-se em um momento dedicado à busca e implementação de estratégias de modernização do setor, a fim de se reduzir os custos e minimizar os desperdícios, investido em construções sustentáveis. Há uma necessidade de estudos baseados nos parâmetros da norma NBR 15575-4:2013 para a devida caracterização das tecnologias construtivas que surgem e ainda são consideradas novidade para o setor. A norma implica em uma série de exigências e recomendações, como por exemplo, o conforto acústico, que será abordado nesse trabalho. A metodologia utilizada foi baseada no método simplificado orientado pela ISO 10052:2004. Foram analisadas duas edificações de 40,0m2 cada. Uma delas é um sobrado, e a outra uma casa térrea. Foram feitas as medições de níveis de pressão sonora nos cômodos e nas fachadas, e as medições do tempo de reverberação dos cômodos. Depois de realizadas as medições foram feitas as análises pelo teste “t” de student. Em comparação com os padrões de outros países, percebeu-se que a norma ABNT NBR 15.575-4:2013 possui valores brandos, e que mesmo assim, as atuais técnicas construtivas brasileiras, em sua maior parte, não conseguem atingi-los. Através dos resultados encontrados, percebeu-se uma eficiência quanto ao isolamento ao ruído aéreo nas edificações modulares e industrializadas quando comparados às edificações de outras técnicas construtivas. Conclui-se, então, que o sobrado e a edificação térrea estão de acordo com os níveis de desempenho estabelecidos pelo norma ABNT NBR 15.575-4:2013.
The objective of this study is evaluate the modular and industrialized building system’s acoustic performance through the simplified field method indicated by ABNT NBR 15575-4:2013 and ISO 10052: 2004, analyzing the internal and external vertical seals for air noise insulation and comparing with previous analyzes in other approaches. The world construction industry is in a dedicated time to the pursuit and implementation of sector modernization strategies in order to reduce costs and minimize waste, invested in sustainable buildings. It’s is necessary studies based on the parameters of NBR 15575-4: 2013 for the proper characterization of building technologies that emerge and are still new to the sector. The standard implies a series of requirements and recommendations, such as the acoustic comfort, which will be addressed in this work. The methodology used was based on the simplified method guided by ISO 10052: 2004. Two buildings were analyzed, with 40,0m2 each. One of them is a two-story house, and the other is a ground floor building. Measurements of sound pressure levels were made in the rooms and on the frontages, and measurements of the reverberation time of rooms. After the measurements were made analyzes with test "t" student. Compared to the standards of other countries, it was realized that the ABNT NBR 15575-4: 2013 has soft values, and that even so, the current Brazilian construction techniques, for the most part, can not reach them. Through these results, it was noticed an efficiency about the isolation airnoise in modular and industrialized buildings compared to buildings of other construction techniques. It follows, then, that the floor and the ground floor building comply with the performance levels established by ABNT NBR 15575-4: 2013.

Abstract:
The prediction of the noise generated by en-route aircraft is gradually gaining in importance as the number of aircraft increases over the last few decades. While the studies of outdoor sound propagation have been focused on near ground propagation, the case when the sound source is high above the ground has not attracted much attention. At the same time there has been a lack of high-quality aircraft acoustic validation data sets that contain detailed acoustic, meteorology, and source-receiver position data. The DISCOVER-AQ data set, which was collected by Volpe in support of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), has greatly helped with studying the directivity and the Doppler effect in the comparison between simulation results and measurements.

To provide a more accurate prediction of en-route aircraft noise, we derived the analytic asymptotic solution of the sound field above a non-locally reacting ground due to a moving point source and a line source using the methods of the steepest descent and a Lorentz transform. The model predicts a much more accurate result for sound field above "soft" grounds, such as a snow-covered ground and sand-covered ground. At the same time, we derived a fast numerical algorithm based on Levin’s collocation for the prediction of the sound field in the presence of a temperature gradient, which can be applied to a wide range of acoustic problems involving integration. The achievements recorded in this thesis can be used to predict the sound field generated by aircraft, trains, and vehicles with a subsonic moving speed. In addition,
the model can be used for detection and design of moving sound source.

Abstract:

Tonal sounds are a particular problem of concern in building environments, arising from the widely used rotating machinery (e.g., compressors, fans, motors, trans- formers, etc.). In the recent trend of designing and manufacturing high-performance building mechanical systems, higher output power and higher rotation speed are pursued, this inevitably results in a more severe noise problem, since the equipment noise not only becomes louder but also shifts to a higher frequency region (which, in most cases, results in a poorer sound quality due to the shift in spectral balance and tonal components moving into the frequency regions where people are most sensitive to tones). Tonal sounds from rotary machines can be annoying, even at relative low levels.

Currently, noise criteria guidelines in Chapter 48 of the ASHRAE HVAC Applications Handbook can be used to design the building mechanical system, but this does not apply well for tonal noise. Reducing the limit for noise with perceptible tones is one common strategy in the industry. However, it’s not adequate for some cases, over-design in others. Thus, an adequate understanding of the annoyance threshold of tonal noises associated with building services equipment is valuable technical information not only in the design and manufacture of machines but also in the development of noise regulations related to building services equipment.

This research aims to develop a sound quality model that cooperates with sound level and tonalness and relates tonal building noises to the perceived annoyance.

Abstract:
Fluid power is widely used in a variety of applications such as construction machines, aerospace, automotive, agricultural machinery, manufacturing, etc. Although this technology has many obvious advantages such as compactness, robustness, high power density, and so forth, there is much room for improvement, of which one of the most important and challenging problems is the noise.

Different institutes have been researching fluid power noise for decades. However, much of the experimental investigation was based on simple measurement and analysis techniques, which left the designers/researchers no method of understanding the complicated phenomena. A microphone array is a powerful tool that unfortunately has not been introduced to the fluid power noise research. By capturing the magnitude and phase information in space, a microphone array enables the noise source identification, separation, localization and so forth.

This thesis focuses on implementing the microphone array processing techniques on a synthetic microphone array for fluid power noise diagnostics. Differing from traditional scan-based approaches, the synthetic array is created by synchronizing the non-synchronous measurements to achieve the equivalent effect of a multi-microphone snapshot. The final results will show the power of microphone arrays and provide an economical solution to achieve approximate results when a real microphone array is not available.

Abstract:
Outdoor heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) units emit a significant amount of noise, which may lead to poor sound quality and a perceived low product quality. It is the job of the noise control engineer to reduce the undesired noise and improve the sound quality of the outdoor HVAC unit to decrease consumer annoyance. There is great interest in developing a detailed and accurate acoustic model of the outdoor HVAC unit so that the sound of the outdoor HVAC unit can be listened to before the unit is constructed. Having an acoustic model which can synthesize sounds allows the noise control engineer to evaluate and improve the sound quality of the outdoor HVAC unit during the design process, without the need for extensive prototyping. Acoustical holography methods will be used to identify and localize noise due to the fan, and other significant noise sources, to visualize the sound field. In the current study, an acoustic model is described which can be used to model the noise due to structural radiation and vortex shedding of the outdoor HVAC unit’s rotating fan blades, one of the top contributors to the unit’s overall noise level. This moving source model simulates the Doppler effect which occurs when the blade moves towards and away from a receiver. The results from this moving source model is shown for different source signals, including sinusoidal, bandpass random, repeating random, and sinusoidal with time-varying frequency source signals. The parameters of this moving source model will be optimized to reproduce the experimental results, including the power spectral densities, tonal power component, and auralizations.

Abstract:
Modeling methodologies based on state-of-the-art and classic theories of acoustics have been developed to provide a comprehensive toolbox, which can be used to model multilayer systems that involve acoustical and/or damping treatments, and to optimize these treatments' performance by designing their geometrical structures. The objective of this work was to understand, predict and optimize conventional sound absorbing porous media's near-field damping performance, so that automotive and aerospace industries can take full advantage of layered porous treatments' lightness and multi-functionality: i.e., absorption of airborne sound and reduction of structure-borne vibration, for noise control applications. First, acoustical models that include the Transfer Matrix Method and the Arbitrary Coefficient Method were developed to build connections between the bulk properties and acoustical properties of porous media when coupled into layered systems. Given a specified layered system consisting of a vibrating panel and a porous damping treatment, the acoustics models were then incorporated into the Near-field Damping model to predict the acoustical near-field and spatial response of the panel, based on which the near-field damping performance can be evaluated for a limp or an elastic porous layer when applied on different structures including an infinitely-extended panel, a partially-constrained panel, an aircraft fuselage-like structure and a vehicle floor pan-like structure. Furthermore, the relations between the material's microstructural details and bulk properties were established via an Air-Flow Resistivity model for porous media that are made of fibers, and the optimal fiber size that provides the largest damping for certain vibrating structures was identified. Relatively large fibers were found to be better at reducing lower frequency vibrations; fibers made of polymer were found to have manufacturing benefits over fibers made of glass to achieve equivalent optimal damping performance; and elastic fibers were found to have both manufacturing and damping advantages over limp fibers.

Find full text
Abstract:
Near-field Acoustical Holography is a tool that is conventionally used to visualize sound fields through an inverse process in a three-dimensional space so that either sound field projections or sound source localization can be performed. The visualization is conducted by using sound pressure measurements taken in the near-field region close to the surface of the unknown sound source. Traditional Fourier-based Near-field Acoustical Holography requires a large number of measurement inputs to avoid spatial truncation effects. However, the use of a large number of measurements is usually not feasible since having a large number of microphones is costly, and usually the array is limited in size by the physical environment, thus limiting the practicality of this method. In the present work, because of the desire to reduce the number of microphones required to conduct acoustical holography, a method known as Statistically Optimized Near-field Acoustical Holography initially proposed by Steiner and Hald was analyzed. The main difference between the present work and the concept mentioned by Steiner and Hald is the cylindrical coordinate system employed here for the purpose of experimenting on a bladeless fan, which resembles a cylindrical structure and which could be assumed to be a cylindrical source. The algorithm was first verified via simulations and measurements, and was then applied to experimental data obtained via pressure measurements made with a cylindrical microphone array. Finally, suggestions for noise control strategies for the bladeless fan are described, based on the measurement results.

Abstract:
Bladeless fans are well known for their unique shape and efficient performance, which have a great impact on the fan industry. At present, there are few studies on the bladeless fan and the research on the improvement of fan design is a lack. Therefore, the study on the performance of the bladeless fan with different design is the main purpose of this thesis.
In the present study, a bladeless fan prototype is created and studied by numerical simulations. When characterizing the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic performances of the bladeless fan, the entire fan prototype, including wind channel, base, rotor and stator, is adopted; when investigating the influence of the wind channel's geometric parameters, only wind channel is considered in simulations. The influence of the slit width, the height of the cross-section, the slit location and the profile of the cross-section are studied.

It is found that the flow outside the bladeless fan consists of the air blown out from the wind channel and entrained from the back and side of the fan. The air entrained from the side is the main source of flow rate increase. As for the aeroacoustic performance, the rotor and stator inside the base are the predominated source of the noise generated by the bladeless fan.
The performances of the bladeless fan are very sensitive to the geometric details of the wind channel. The generated noise always increases as the wind strength improves. The slit width of the wind channel has the greatest impact. With the slit moves away from the leading edge, the wind produced by the bladeless fan becomes more powerful and the noise becomes louder. The cross-sectional height of 4cm has the best aerodynamic performance but the generated noise is a little larger than other designs. The profile of the cross-section shows insignificant influence on the performances.

Abstract:
This paper deals with the effects of atmospheric absorption on the propagation of high-speed jet noise. The common practice for determining the far-field jet noise spectra at a distance far from the jet exit (>100D, where D is the nozzle exit diameter) involves extrapolating data that is typically obtained between 35D and 100D from the nozzle exit. The data is extrapolated along a radial line from the nozzle exit by accounting for the effects of spherical spreading and atmospheric absorption. A previous paper discussed far-field measurements that were obtained for a twin engine aircraft at three locations along a radial line in the peak noise radiation direction. The authors were unable to extrapolate the spectra from the nearest location to either of the further locations and the observed differences were attributed to nonlinear effects in the jet noise signal. It is the purpose of this paper to show that the common extrapolation practice is valid for high speed jets, except in the peak radiation direction and its surrounding angles. Mach wave radiation is present at these locations and the common practice will yield unsatisfactory results, similar to those observed in the previous paper. The data used in this paper is taken from experiments carried out at 1/5th-scale and full scale and the experimental conditions of these high-speed jets are quite similar to those of the previous paper.

Abstract:
Beamforming in reverberant environments is important to locate and quantify noise sources in turbofan engine nacelles, automobile interiors, factories, and architectural settings. In order to validate and explore the limits of this approach, a beamforming experiment was conducted in a reverberation chamber using a 32 channel planar phased array and a B&K sound power source. In the reference configuration, the source was located 2 m from the 1.1 m diameter array, and neither was close to the chamber walls. A less-demanding case was constructed by adding some foam absorber to the room to reduce reverberation. A difficult case resulted when the source was placed 5 m from the array, about 1 m from a corner of the chamber. Conventional frequency-domain beamforming with diagonal deletion was applied. The sound source was accurately located at the 2 m distance, with and without the added absorber. In the 5 m case, the sound source could be located at only a few frequencies and only when the processing bandwidth was increased from 48.8 Hz to 781 Hz. Processing individual eigenvectors of the CSM separated the direct and reflected source in 5 m case. The error in the deduced broadband sound power was 0.72 dB in the baseline case, 1.47 dB with the added absorber, and 5.41 dB with the speaker in the corner. Application of CLEAN-SC did not improve the accuracy of the corner results. Use of a Green’s function that attempts to account for reflections was ineffective. It is concluded that beamforming in highly reverberant environment with the free space Green’s function is practical, provided the array is designed and positioned correctly for the environment and source location.

Abstract:
We are interested in the vibration prediction for a finite flexural plate lying on a semi-infinite soil, whose surface is free, except under the plate. Both the plate equation and the Navier equations are solved, using their bidimensional spatial Fourier Transforms. A cousin problem is the one of the acoustic radiation of the unbaffled plate, a one velocity problem. In this soil problem, two velocities are taken into account, the soil shear and dilatation velocities, considered as a visco-elastic homogeneous medium. Finally, expanding the plate displacement on its modes, linear systems in plate displacement amplitude are solved. As for the unbaffled acoustic radiation problem, equivalent vibratory radiation impedances set is proposed, totally new, describing the modal coupling between the plate modes and the soil. It is shown, contrary to the acoustic one velocity problem that the sign of the imaginary part of the complex vibratory radiation terms is negative at very low frequency, and positive above, meaning that the soil adds stiffness to the plate at low frequency and mass above. The soil effect on the plate vibration is of first importance, highly decreasing the plate vibration by more than 30 dB even for thick concrete plates.
