Abstract
This paper presents analyses of the 3D acoustic fields generated by motorcycles at very low frequencies (<150 Hz) at the idle speed and during sudden acceleration. Diagnosis and analyses of sound sources at low frequencies have always been a significant challenge because the directivity of low-frequency sound is very poor. To date, there are no research papers and/or reports that have demonstrated low-frequency sources localization and radiation patterns of any kind at high spatial resolution in 3D space. This study shows that by using sound viewer technologies, which include the passive sonic detection and ranging (SODAR), the Helmholtz equation least squares (HELS) method, advanced signal processing, denoising, etc., the locations of sound sources and visualization of the sound fields can be determined with high spatial resolution, even at frequencies below 150 Hz. In particular, the HELS method allows for reconstructing all the acoustic quantities, including the acoustic pressure, time-averaged acoustic intensity, time-averaged acoustic power on the source surfaces and in 3D space. The hardware needed consists of a 3D array with six free-field precision microphones with pre-amplifiers, a miniature wide-angle camera, an eight-channel digital signal processor and a laptop computer.
期刊介绍:
The aim of this journal is to provide an international forum for the dissemination of the state-of-the-art information in the field of Computational Acoustics.
Topics covered by this journal include research and tutorial contributions in OCEAN ACOUSTICS (a subject of active research in relation with sonar detection and the design of noiseless ships), SEISMO-ACOUSTICS (of concern to earthquake science and engineering, and also to those doing underground prospection like searching for petroleum), AEROACOUSTICS (which includes the analysis of noise created by aircraft), COMPUTATIONAL METHODS, and SUPERCOMPUTING. In addition to the traditional issues and problems in computational methods, the journal also considers theoretical research acoustics papers which lead to large-scale scientific computations.
