However, the response from the hydraulic shaking table are not considered sinusoid waveform when corresponds to a sinusoidal acceleration excitation due to the presence of harmonic distortion. This work presents an approach based on the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm for the harmonic component estimation in a hydraulic shaking table. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can precisely identify the harmonic component and it has great advantage of convergence as well as real-time performance.","PeriodicalId":104108,"journal":{"name":"ASME 2018 Noise Control and Acoustics Division Session presented at INTERNOISE 2018","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129439169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analytic or semi-analytical method is indispensable for the numerical method and the mechanism to reveal the acoustic-structure coupling characteristics. In this paper, an analytic solution is presented that can calculate the acoustic radiation of infinitely long half-filled cylindrical shell. The displacement of the shell, the fluid load and the excitation force are expressed as the combination of trigonometric series and Fourier series, and displacements of the other two directions are removed by orthogonalizing, only the radial displacement is retained. The control equation of the fluid-structure interaction can be obtained from the relationship between the amplitude of fluid load and the amplitude of radial displacement which can be established by orthogonalizing the continuous conditions of the fluid-structure coupled contact surface and the free surface boundary condition. Solving the control equation, the vibration and acoustic radiation of the coupling system can be determined. Compared with the finite element software Comsol, the results of forced vibration and underwater radiated noise show that the presented method is accurate and reliable. A new way to solve acoustic-vibration problem with partial coupling of elastic structure and sound field is provided in this study.","PeriodicalId":104108,"journal":{"name":"ASME 2018 Noise Control and Acoustics Division Session presented at INTERNOISE 2018","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123839913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dry coupling permits to dismiss any coupling material between the transducer and the waveguide, but as a drawback a preload must be applied on the transducers to guarantee an effective coupling between the two surfaces. Although the influence of the preload on the natural frequencies is studied in the literature, the frequency response function of a transducer relating the input voltage to the displacement output is not present in the literature. Moreover, the distribution of force on the backing mass and the effect of the preload on the uniformity of vibration of the transducers are still missing. A natural frequency analysis and a forced analysis are then computed numerically with finite element analysis to quantify the influence of the preload on a thickness-shear transducer. Furthermore, these results are compared with experimental results obtained with a Laser Vibrometer. It is then shown how the geometrical layout of the transducer coupled with the preload influences the vibration of the transducer.","PeriodicalId":104108,"journal":{"name":"ASME 2018 Noise Control and Acoustics Division Session presented at INTERNOISE 2018","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132952021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Social, mechanical, and indicators sounds were identified as the three main sound classifications. Spectrogram showed the distinguished frequencies and orders of the acoustic events. On train announcements used four languages due to the country’s cultural and social history.

However the appropriate characterization of their sound is a difficult task. Not only product users but also manufacturers can profit from a sound label which characterize the perception of the customers. The purchase decision-making process according to acoustic criteria will be supported by such kind of label. In addition, a label and its components give orientation to the manufacturers during their product development process. Essential aspect for such kind of label is that it should represent the perception of the customers. Therefore psychoacoustical properties, e.g., loudness, sharpness, roughness, tonality, etc., are advantageous for characterization purposes. It would be beneficial to combine these psychoacoustical descriptors into a sound quality label, which is easy to understand. The authors have developed several sound labels for household appliances based on psychoacoustic properties. These sound labels are the result of the listening experiments which were conducted with potential customers. In this paper, various aspects of these investigations are summarized, extended and discussed.","PeriodicalId":104108,"journal":{"name":"ASME 2018 Noise Control and Acoustics Division Session presented at INTERNOISE 2018","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131601200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Authors thought that their reuse for functional building parts with sound absorption would be very valuable from points of view of green building and environmental policies, and authors then measured each resonance frequency and sound absorption coefficient of representative, including light-soft-plastic, bottles, with net capacity from 7 to 2000 ml, by setting on the edge of sound tube with diameter of 100 mm.\u0000 Sound resonances with sound absorption coefficient of 0.3–1.0 at frequencies from 100 to 1000 Hz clearly depending on the capacity could be confirmed. It was also found that measured result was well matched to the numerical calculation based on acoustic impedance change at each section area gradually changed in bottle. It is thought that combination use of recycled bottles with independent resonance frequency is more effective than use of new uniform perforated plates for wide space where we need additional sound absorption in certain frequency range.","PeriodicalId":104108,"journal":{"name":"ASME 2018 Noise Control and Acoustics Division Session presented at INTERNOISE 2018","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127354462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
