The noise caused by trains passing a box-girder bridge is more intense than the noise in other sections of the railway because it is radiated by the bridge. This study investigates the acoustic radiation characteristics and mechanism of the box-girder bridge including low-frequency vibrations below the hearing threshold. The foregoing is examined in terms of natural vibration characteristics, vibration responses of the bridge under nonlinear train–track dynamic interactions, and structural noise radiation principle. The results show that the structural resonance, acoustic radiation efficiency, acoustic–vibration coupling in the bridge cavity, and severe train-induced vibrations play important roles in the acoustic radiation of the box-girder bridge. Under moving train loads, bridge vibrations are mainly in the 80- to 100-Hz frequency range and cause distinct noise radiation. Moreover, the low-frequency (20 Hz) train-induced vibrations of the bridge can generate distinct low-frequency noise. Additionally, the box-girder bridge cavity induces acoustic–vibration coupling, which can aggravate the noise radiation on both sides of the box-girder bridge.","PeriodicalId":49748,"journal":{"name":"Noise Control Engineering Journal","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135761900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Engineers encounter several difficulties in carrying out experimental measurements when studying complex systems. To solve this problem, a solution was proposed for the manufacturers' benefit, allowing them to access the various identified measurement points, describe the systems' vibroacoustic behavior, whether coupled or decoupled, and share the work between several teams and reduce the time spent on measurements. This paper deals with the experimental study performed on an aircraft noise abatement isolator. The component-based transfer path analysis hybrid inverse method is developed to allow the work on the subsystems separately between several teams and characterize them on an external test bench outside real functioning conditions. The studied system consists of a mass coupled by a noise abatement isolator fixed in an aluminum plate backed by a concrete cavity. Several parameters are studied such as the number of transfer paths to be considered to see the effect of neglecting certain transfer paths, the effects of coupling versus decoupling of the connected substructures and the number of indicator points chosen and used in the inversion method. The results are compared to the direct method.","PeriodicalId":49748,"journal":{"name":"Noise Control Engineering Journal","volume":"136 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135761899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the two-way fluid–solid coupling method, vibration analysis is performed\u0000 on the pipeline under external pressure pulse excitation.

Two vibration reduction strategies are presented and validated by simulation in accordance with the findings of the vibration study. The main conclusions are as\u0000 follows: (1) At the same frequency, the amplitude distribution of vibration acceleration significantly correlates with the flow field pressure, indicating that fluid pressure fluctuation is the root cause of the abnormal vibration of the pipeline, and the vibration of the pipeline increases\u0000 with the average pressure.

The unmuffled exhaust noise of an internal combustion engine peaks at the engine firing frequency and the first few harmonics thereof. Designing the muffler (a wide-band low pass acoustical filter) for such low frequencies is quite a challenge. Therefore, design of efficient mufflers has remained an art as well as science. During the last two decades or so, however, (a) multi-hole cross-flow perforates, (b) multiply connected perforated pipes and baffles, and (c) the double-tuned, grazing-flow concentric tube resonators have emerged as promising constituent elements. In this paper, elements (a) and (c) have been combined ingeniously to synthesize efficient muffler configuration for diesel generator (DG) sets as well as automotive engines. Relatively simpler lumped parameter approximation for perforates opening into cavities, electro-acoustic analogies, and the simple expansion chamber equivalence of the double-tuned concentric tube resonator have been used to develop a rational design methodology. A novel feature of this methodology is incorporation of the given back-pressure limit into the acoustic design process. The resulting muffler configurations are robust and can be scaled up (and down) easily for IL as well as back pressure.","PeriodicalId":49748,"journal":{"name":"Noise Control Engineering Journal","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135345190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed method extracts the reflection and transmission coefficients from corresponding TM to evaluate the effective acoustic metamaterial properties. For a single Helmholtz\u0000 resonator, the effective bulk modulus has been observed negative; however, the effective density remains positive. In order to attain double negative material properties, the perforated panel (PP) and microperforated panel (MPP) have been introduced in parallel to resonator. The 1D electro-acoustic\u0000 modeling has been carried out for all configurations to estimate effective properties analytically. Successively, the experiments have been conducted to measure the effective properties from acoustic metamaterial prospective. The analytical and experimental investigations on five different\u0000 cases reveal that one can attain negative effective compressibility and effective density by cascading two PPs or MPPs with a finite duct. Moreover, by backing a Helmholtz resonator from both sides with two PPs or MPPs in parallel, one can attain double negative properties comparatively higher\u0000 than earlier configuration in low-frequency zone in broadband.
