Theoretically, slowing down the elastic waves can lead to a zero-reflection effect, which is referred to as acoustic black hole (ABH). ABH has been demonstrated in metallic structures with isotropic-like material properties; while the effects of material anisotropy such as wood mechanical properties on the ABH effect are yet to be explored. We demonstrate numerically and experimentally the ABH effect in wood beams (Pinus radiata) of different lengths by applying an exponential reduction of the circular cross-section. The beams are knot-free and made of cuts of 40mm, 80mm, 100mm, 120mm and 160mm length along the grain, which could lead to a small Poisson ratio by about one order of magnitude. An increase in moisture content of the ABH wood beams by about 8-10% of the dry weights(N=5 samples) and a higher volume fraction of fibrous grains have been shown to reduce the wave reflection, as the drier and lower volume fraction the fibre, the higher the reflection becomes.

However, a single measurement with this method does not offer enough information to identify the sound propagation characteristics, i.e. the characteristic impedance and the wave number of absorbent samples. Instead, more elaborate measurement techniques that require more time, more equipment and enhanced user knowledge need to be applied. This contribution presents a technique combining neural networks and the two-microphone impedance tube method to estimate the propagation characteristics of a highly porous sample from a single two-microphone impedance tube measurement. The measured surface impedance serves as input to a U-net architecture, which preserves the high frequency resolution of the data and returns an estimate of the surface impedance mimicking an air cavity attached behind the sample. Then, the two cavity method is used to calculate the propagation characteristics from the measured and the networks predicted surface impedances. The presented approach gives precise estimates of the propagation characteristics of simulated highly porous samples and for two different, physically measured melamine foam samples, while drastically reducing the required resources and expenses. In this way, it provides an efficient way to estimate the propagation characteristics of absorbent samples.","PeriodicalId":471330,"journal":{"name":"NOISE-CON ... proceedings","volume":"35 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135725923","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}

Their sound transmission loss is estimated by calculating the ratio between the incident sound power on the first wall and the radiated sound power by the second. The introduction of a melamine foam associated with heavy masses brings a better sound insulation against external noise. In this context, this work deals with the numerical prediction of the sound transmission of a roller shutter box equipped with porous and viscoelastic materials. Such system can be modeled, at first approximation, as a double-walled structure. The proposed approach is based on the use of the finite element method for the modeling of the different solid and fluid domains of the problem. A mixed displacement pressure formulation of the Biot poroelasticity equations is used to model the poroelastic domain. The structure is excited by a diffuse field represented by a superposition of plane waves with random phases and directions. The acoustic power radiated by the second wall is calculated by applying the Rayleigh integral method. The results show the importance of optimizing the position of the porous and the heavy layers to maximize the sound insulation.","PeriodicalId":471330,"journal":{"name":"NOISE-CON ... proceedings","volume":"34 12","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135726944","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}

A detailed source model is presented which accounts for both the impact locations of the individual hammers and the discrete 2 Hz force spectrum. It is also discussed how this detailed source model can be implemented into the mTMM. Monte Carlo simulations provide insight into the uncertainty of the radiated sound power and the impact sound insulation improvement for bare and layered floors, resulting from the impact force location.

Thereby, stiffness and damping are contradictory material properties related to the fibre orientation. Commonly, the composite design is based on FEA simulations requiring special modelling efforts. In contrast, the multi-dimensional optimisation of a laminate with numerous layers requires very fast numerical solutions for numerous repetitions. Using a complex but efficient vibro-acoustic simulation model is essential in optimising composites. Therefore, the FEA is extended by a strain energy based modal damping approach for the layerwise accumulation of the anisotropic damping. In addition, the radiated sound power is determined by a velocity-based approach directly on steady state structural simulations avoiding a complex multi-physical modelling. Moreover, the frequency dependent radiation is consolidated to a single scalar optimisation objective with analytical formulations of amplification factors of the modal power contributions. This methodology is applied to design a vibro-acoustically optimised composite part. The achieved results emerge the NVH potential of thermoplastic composites compared to a steel reference case.","PeriodicalId":471330,"journal":{"name":"NOISE-CON ... proceedings","volume":"31 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135728294","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}

In general, elastic plate structures can be modelled using the Kirchhoff- Love theory, which is suitable for thin plates in low frequencies. However, there is a lack of knowledge concerning the effects of viscoelastic constituents on the complex band structure of flexural Bloch waves in PnC thin plates. In this study, an extended plane wave expansion (EPWE) method is used to compute the complex band structures of VPnC thin plates.

However, this modelling is not straightforward due to the number of parameters characterizing porous materials. Each one of these parameters can be estimated experimentally with its own setup and procedure, not always easy to execute. On the other hand, the use of inverse methods for the estimation of parameters relies on physical approximations and requires experimental procedures that are strongly sensitive to boundary conditions. Consequently, experimental determination of the parameters of porous materials may become financially expensive and very time consuming. The purpose of this work is to investigate the performances of machine learning techniques in determining the parameters of Johnson-Champoux-Allard model, in order to understand whether missing values can be predicted just relying on a set of already performed experimental characterizations when not all the experimental setups are available. In particular, Gaussian processes are used on a training set describing porous materials in terms of Johnson-Champoux-Allard parameters and the values of acoustic indices at fixed frequencies.","PeriodicalId":471330,"journal":{"name":"NOISE-CON ... proceedings","volume":"31 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135728289","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}

Early damage detection methods are usually based on vibration signals from accelerometers. Microphones provide an interesting alternative, as they acquire system level information and could allow reducing the number of sensors. However, the bearing signature is mixed in these signals with noise coming from other nearby sources. Beamforming methods can enhance the targeted bearing signature while suppressing the contributions of other noise sources in the environment. The bearing impulses related to the localized surface defects are function of speed, and thus under varying speed conditions become nonstationary. Angular resampling based methods are therefore needed to compensate for the speed fluctuations in order to detect bearing damages. The goal of this paper is to propose a method for bearing diagnostics under varying speed conditions using an array of microphones and an encoder. The method is based on angular resampling of the microphone signals in function of the shaft speed and enhancing them using delay-sum beamforming based on the known positions of the microphones relative to the tested bearing. The method is validated on an experimental dataset acquired at a KU Leuven bearing test rig, under varying rotating speed conditions.","PeriodicalId":471330,"journal":{"name":"NOISE-CON ... proceedings","volume":"35 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135725924","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 resonators are not assumed to be periodically spaced or to have similar dynamic properties. The behaviour is analysed in terms of waves travelling between the discontinuities. Reflection and transmission coefficients of the rod with one local resonator attached are utilised in the analysis. Values of these coefficients for each of the attached resonators, along with the boundary conditions and field transfer function, are used to derive analytical expressions for the displacement of the finite rod at any point. Once the displacement is determined, the transmission loss is calculated. Moreover, the eigenfrequencies of the graded metamaterial finite rod are identified using the phase closure principle. The influence of the mass, the damping and the location of the resonators on the vibration attenuation are investigated. Numerical examples are presented. Good agreement is noted between the results of the analytical studies and finite element simulations in COMSOL. It is shown that the graded metamaterial rod can provide better vibration attenuation as compared to the conventional periodic metamaterial.","PeriodicalId":471330,"journal":{"name":"NOISE-CON ... proceedings","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135726563","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}
