The reed impact is modeled by a nonlinear stiffness and damping activated by contact with the lay. The impact\u0000 model is compared with the \"ghost reed\" simplification, where the reed moves through the lay unimpeded. Bifurcation diagrams in both cases are compared, in terms of amplitude of the oscillations and location of the bifurcations, on the solution branches corresponding to the first and second\u0000 register. The ghost reed simplification has limited influence at low values of the blowing pressure parameter: the diagrams are similar. This is true even for \"beating reed\" regimes, in which the reed coincides with the lay. The most noticeable discrepancies occur near the extinction of the\u0000 oscillations, at high blowing pressure.","PeriodicalId":35085,"journal":{"name":"Acta Acustica united with Acustica","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78644702","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\u0000 present study aimed to evaluate the effect of edge fillet radius in four different layouts of a cubic ultrasonic microcontainer at different frequencies through 36 simulations by using COMSOL Multiphysics software. To this aim, the simulations were performed in three edge fillet radius values\u0000 of zero, 2.5 and 5 mm, and at the excitation frequencies of 20, 200 and 300 kHz. In this regard, experimental tests were carried out in two modes of: a) regular ultrasonic bath (RUB) and b) filleted-edges ultrasonic bath (FEUB). Based on the simulation and experimental results, the removal\u0000 of sharp edges has a positive influence on propagating waves, leading to an increase in the acoustic energy density at different frequencies and the effect was more significant at lower frequencies and layouts with more PZTs.","PeriodicalId":35085,"journal":{"name":"Acta Acustica united with Acustica","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81721234","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 measures commonly used for suppressing the cavity resonance is to paste sound absorbing material on the inner surface of the tire, which has been proved to be very effective by many experimental studies. But so far\u0000 there is a lack of methods to assess the influence of absorbing material on the cavity resonance and help determine the optimal sound absorbing material for a tire. To resolve this problem, a method based on the eigenvalue analysis is proposed. In the method, the resonance of a tire cavity\u0000 lined with sound absorbing material is turned into a complex eigenvalue problem of a closed cavity with prescribed boundary conditions. The real and imaginary parts of the complex eigenvalue can then be used to represent the influence of sound absorbing material on the cavity resonance. Experiments\u0000 were conducted on a tire lined with polyurethane foams of different thickness and flow resistivity to validate the results obtained by the proposed method, and a good agreement between their results is achieved.","PeriodicalId":35085,"journal":{"name":"Acta Acustica united with Acustica","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73606552","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 purpose of the current study was to assess the effects of exposure to high-intensity ultrasound\u0000 on a range of measures of hearing function, which included audiometric thresholds, as well as subclinical measures of hearing deficits: speech-in-noise understanding, supra-threshold auditory brainstem response wave I amplitude and latency, and frequency following response levels to amplitude\u0000 modulated (AM) tones. Changes in these measures were assessed before and after exposure of the left ear to high-intensity ultrasound in a group of nine young listeners. These changes were compared to those observed in a control group of nine young listeners. Exposure consisted in the presentation\u0000 of a 40-kHz AM tone at levels of 105, 110, 115, and 120 dB SPL for 10 minutes at each level, plus an exposure to a 40-kHz unmodulated tone during an ultrasound detection task, for a total duration of 50 seconds. None of the measures of hearing function was found to change significantly more\u0000 for the left compared to the right ear, for participants of the exposure group compared to control participants. Electroencephalographic recordings obtained during exposure to the AM tone did not show significant phase-locked activity at the modulation frequency or at low-frequency subharmonics\u0000 of the ultrasound tone.

The ear simulator is usually modeled using a\u0000 lumped parameter model (LPM) which has frequency limitations and inadequately accounts for the thermo-viscous effects in the simulator. The simulator numerical models that can better deal with the thermo-viscous phenomena often lack essential geometric details. Most related studies also suffer\u0000 from the lack of experimental validation of the models. Therefore, a transfer matrix (TM) model of the IEC 60318-4 simulator is proposed based on a direct assessment of its geometric dimensions. Such a model is of particular interest for designing artificial ear simulators. The variability\u0000 in the simulator impedance due to the geometric uncertainties is quantified using the Monte Carlo method. The TM model is validated using i) a finite element (FE) model of the simulator and ii) impedance measurements with a sound intensity probe. It is found to better describe the simulator\u0000 impedance above 3 kHz compared to the LPM. The TM model is then coupled to a FE model of an occluded ATF ear canal to simulate the IL of an earplug in the frequency range [100 Hz, 10 kHz]. In the model, the simulator is considered as a cylindrical cavity terminated by an equivalent tympanic\u0000 impedance which is determined from the TM model to simulate the sound pressure measured at the real microphone position (not at the reference plane) in the ATF ear canal. The simulated IL is validated against i) that obtained with a complete FE model of the corresponding system and ii) measurements\u0000 using an ATF. The TM model is shown to better agree with the simulator FE model than the LPM above 6 kHz regarding the earplug IL simulated using this method.","PeriodicalId":35085,"journal":{"name":"Acta Acustica united with Acustica","volume":"108 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87634224","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}
