However, it faces the challenge posed by grating lobes in the ultrasonic radiation pattern, which leads to unwanted sidelobes in the steering audio beam when the Nyquist criterion is not satisfied due to short ultrasonic wavelengths. As a result, the audio beam not only fails to steer in the desired direction but also loses its inherent advantage of high directivity when using a beamsteer with a delay-and-sum (DAS) structure. This work proposes an enhanced beamsteering algorithm to suppress the sidelobes by optimizing the channel weight coefficients. The nonlinear optimization problem is transformed into a linear expression, making the minimum-variance-distortionless-response (MVDR) algorithm applicable. Both simulations and experiments validate the effective suppression of sidelobes and the mitigation of sound fuzziness within the range from the sidelobe to the mainlobe. The audio beam successfully steers in the desired direction and maintains a high directivity. However, the performance of the algorithm deteriorates at high audio frequencies due to the inherent physical limitations of wave interference in sound field control strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17233,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sound and Vibration","volume":"595 ","pages":"Article 118768"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142527167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The phenomenon relies on two fundamental physical mechanisms: wave speed reduction and energy dissipation. In this study, we demonstrate that these two physical processes can be meticulously balanced through adjusting the perforation parameters in a perforation-modulated SBH (PMSBH). To elucidate the mechanism of slow wave generation and the effect of perforation parameters, an analytic model based on the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) solutions to the linear acoustic wave equation is established. Alongside transient finite element simulations, the study unveils the roles that major physical parameters play in terms of regulating sound speed and sound absorption. The perforation ratio of the PMSBH is identified as the dominant factor affecting the slow-sound effect, with an optimal range of above 10 % for a PMSBH with densely segmented internal rings. Owing to the inclusion of the perforated boundary, prominent slow wave effects can still be maintained even with a reduced number of rings, provided that the perforation ratio is properly chosen within a reduced variation range. In both cases, the identified perforation ratio largely exceeds the conventional range widely adopted in the micro-perforation community when the slow wave effects are absent. On top of this, tuning the hole size can further enhance air friction for better sound absorption. Theoretical and numerical findings are experimentally validated, and the performance of the PMSBH is demonstrated. While bringing forward the concept of tunable design, this study offers physical insights and guidance for realizing effective sound absorbers embracing slow wave principles and perforation-induced sound absorption.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17233,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sound and Vibration","volume":"596 ","pages":"Article 118765"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142442079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stiffness bilinearity here refers to a continuous piecewise linear force vs displacement function that is composed of two linear regions. This work focuses on a bilinear stiffness function that is regularized so there is a smooth transition at the point where the two linear regions meet. A single-degree-of-freedom system (SDOF) and a two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) system are explored and several interesting behaviors are shown. The SDOF bilinear spring model is characterized by four parameters: the low amplitude frequency, the ratio of the linear stiffnesses on either side of the transition, the displacement at which the transition occurs, and the rate or sharpness of the transition. The effect of each parameter on the shape of the NNM is described. In a 2DOF system, these parameters have similar effects, but modal coupling is found to play a significant role. When a bilinear system is subjected to random excitation, many harmonics appear in the response for both the SDOF and 2DOF cases. The root-mean-square (RMS) response of the bilinear system can be larger or smaller than the corresponding linear case depending on the values of the parameters and the type of forcing (broadband, bandlimited, in the shape of a vibration mode, etc.). However, many cases were observed in which the RMS response of the bilinear system was almost the same as that of a linear system, and hence the response could be predicted well using linear analysis. It is hoped that the results presented herein can assist engineers in helping to determine when linear analysis would be adequate to predict the failure of a system, when a rigorous nonlinear analysis is required, and what phenomena are likely to be observed in the latter case.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17233,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sound and Vibration","volume":"595 ","pages":"Article 118767"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142444764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This correction allows the method to be applied in the high-frequency domain, when the number of measurement points per flexural wavelength becomes small. In this study, the proposed novelty is the development of a Frequency-Adapted VFM (FA VFM) to the case of a Love–Kirchhoff plate. Thanks to this method, the VFM can now be applied to identify the equivalent bending stiffness and structural damping of a thin plate when the number of measurement points per wavelength is small.

An experimental identification of the complex bending stiffness of an locally damped aluminium plate using Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) data and the developed method is performed. The experimental study shows for the first time that the FA VFM can be used to map the equivalent bending stiffness and structural damping as a function of position on a plate and identify these parameters as a function of frequency over a large frequency band.
