Because the crystals may be of different shapes (e.g., square, circular, or standardized airfoil profile to minimize airflow resistance) and must account for thermo-viscous losses, a discrete version of the TMM is used. Similar to the finite element method, a discretization of the geometry is first performed. Each element is modeled with a transfer matrix (TM) that includes the local thermo-viscous losses which attenuate the sound wave. For each element in parallel, the parallel TMM is employed. For the subsequently created elements in series, the classic TMM is used. This generates a global TM from which the sound transmission loss of the crystal network is deduced. The predictions obtained by the proposed method are compared to measurements in an acoustic tube for three different shapes of sonic crystals. The results show that a geometric tortuosity correction is necessary for the predicted bandgap center frequency to match the measurement. A correction is proposed, but this requires a possible refinement for more complicated profiles.</p>","PeriodicalId":17168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Acoustical Society of America","volume":"156 5","pages":"2928-2934"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142558110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Models for predicting sound pressure level (SPL) from wind have been studied for many years. However, the terminology and definitions behind modeling approaches have not been unified, and ambiguity has led to differences in predicted SPL. The 2022 Ambient Sound Modeling Workshop was organized to compare ambient sound modeling approaches from different researchers. The main goal of the workshop was to quantify differences in predicted SPL and related quantities for different approaches and, to the extent possible, determine the cause of the differences for a specific, well-defined scenario. Results revealed a variation of approximately 6 dB across different research groups, with differences reaching up to 10 dB in some cases compared to the benchmark results described in this paper. These variations stemmed from differing methodologies and underlying assumptions. In this paper, step-by-step guidance is given for modeling SPL due to wind.

They were then played an alveolar trill [r] and an alveolar approximant [l] and matched each sound to one of the lines. Participants showed a strong tendency to match [r] with the jagged line and [l] with the straight line, even more consistently than in a comparable cross-cultural investigation of the bouba/kiki effect. The pattern is strongest for matching [r] to the jagged line, but also very strong for matching [l] to the straight line. While this effect was found with speakers of languages with different phonetic realizations of the rhotic sound, it was weaker when trilled [r] was the primary variant.

French listeners were tested on acoustic continua ranging from an unaccented first syllable [depla'se] \"moved\" to an accented first syllable ['de] [pla'se] \"a dice placed.\" The continua were obtained by manipulating pitch and durational cues either separately or conjointly. In Experiments 1 and 2, participants identified each step of the continuum by choosing between two possible segmentations while in Experiments 3 and 4, participants performed an AX discrimination task on two adjacent steps. Results indicate that participants' performance was better when pitch cues were varied compared to when durational cues were varied in both the identification and discrimination tasks. In addition, while participants always benefited from the additional presence of pitch cues, participants did not consistently benefit from the additional presence of durational cues.

In contrast, this paper proposes a DANC algorithm with general multi-device nodes based on the recently developed augmented diffusion strategy, allowing flexible and scalable ANC applications. A real-time distributed ANC system based on a multi-core digital signal processor platform is developed in order to compare the control performance of the proposed extended augmented diffusion algorithm with that of existing centralized, decentralized and augmented diffusion algorithms. Real-time experiments demonstrate that the proposed algorithm exhibits noise reduction performance consistent with that of the centralized algorithm while achieving lower global computational complexity and avoiding the system instability risk of the decentralized algorithm.

Hence, there is a crucial need to develop a direct solution method for the two-dimensional Helmholtz equation of ocean acoustic propagation, without relying on a simplified model. In previous work, we achieved successful solutions for the two-dimensional Helmholtz equation within a rectangular domain, utilizing a collocation-type spectral method. Taking into account the fluctuations in the actual seabed, we introduce a Chebyshev collocation spectral method to directly tackle the two-dimensional ocean acoustic propagation problem, which could solve the case of a seabed with linear variation, sound velocity variation and inhomogeneous medium situation.

Reducing the speeds of all ships achieved the highest noise reduction of the source-centric methods, although solely slowing cargo ships led to similar reductions. Implementing a single-route approach on the southern side of the Channel Islands achieved the greatest reduction of the space-centric strategies. For the multi-route approaches, some noise reduction was achieved by creating a buffer zone between the proposed shipping lanes and the critical habitat boundary.
