The measurement points were set on the rails, track slabs, and tunnel walls. Eventually, the time domain, frequency domain, and one-third- octave frequency division vibration level were adopted to investigate the vibration characteristics\u0000 of four track structures. The results were obtained as follows. (1) The root-mean-square acceleration values of the four track structures at different measurement points were analyzed in the time domain. Overall, the results could not effectively reflect the damping capacity of the vibration-reduction\u0000 measures. (2) Based on the one-third octave frequency analysis, regarding 10À6 m/s2 as the decibel reference value, we found that three vibration-reduction measures' vertical vibration level of the tunnel wall was significantly lower than that of OT. Specifically, the damping effect\u0000 of SSFST was the most obvious. The Z-weighted vibration levels of the three vibration-reduction measures on the tunnel wall have been reduced by 8.919, 11.745 and 13.744 dB, respectively. (3) According to the results of the vibration-transmission characteristics in the frequency domain, the\u0000 main vibration-frequency regions of the four track structures at the track slab and tunnel wall were all in the range of 1 to 20,00 Hz. Concerning OT, MVDFT, FLT, and SSFST, the peak values of the vibration transmission from the rail to the tunnel wall sequentially decreased, and the damping\u0000 effect sequentially increased. This paper compared the damping capacity of the above four track structures at 1 to 80 Hz according to ISO 2631-1. In addition, their more detailed vibration characteristics at 1 to 2000 Hz were also considered. It aims to provide a more comprehensive study for\u0000 the application of subway vibration-reduction measures.","PeriodicalId":49748,"journal":{"name":"Noise Control Engineering Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42850424","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}

When the thickness of the porous material is equal to the acoustic penetration depth, or critical depth, the sound absorption coefficient reaches an asymptotic value so that any additional thickness of the\u0000 porous layer provides no significant increase of the sound absorption. To overcome the limitations of the critical depth, a design of sound absorbing material containing periodic holes with decreasing profile diameter is proposed in this paper. The finite element method is used to demonstrate\u0000 the improved sound absorption over a large frequency band. An extraordinary improvement of the sound absorption coefficient using a periodic conical hole is demonstrated where the critical depth of the porous material is eliminated. The results using the finite element method are compared\u0000 with theoretical results from a transfer matrix method using a double porosity model, and a good agreement is obtained. A parametric analysis is presented using finite element simulations to illustrate the effects of the different parameters of the decreasing hole profile diameter on the sound\u0000 absorption coefficient. Different hole shapes with decreasing profile diameters distributed periodically inside the porous layer are compared, and the results show good acoustic performance. The proposed sound absorbing material is applied in a rectangular room as anechoic termination. The\u0000 result of the reflection coefficient obtained by a mirror source method is close to zero over a large frequency band. This illustrates good sound attenuation of the proposed design.","PeriodicalId":49748,"journal":{"name":"Noise Control Engineering Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43591679","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}

It has become the most popular product in the decoration market because its lines are bright and clean with distinct layers, reflecting the simple modern style, and it is easy to install\u0000 and dismantle. However, the aluminum square tube used in the market is mostly a single aluminum panel structure, mainly used for decoration, without sound absorption and noise reduction. In order to improve the sound absorption properties of the aluminum square tube, a microporous aluminum\u0000 square tube space absorber is proposed. The reverberation chamber method is used to investigate the sound absorption properties of the microporous aluminum square tube. The results show that the sound absorption performance of the aluminum square tube can be greatly improved by the formation\u0000 of micropores on it. The sound absorption performance of the aluminum square tube perforated on three sides is better than that of the aluminum square tube perforated on only two sides. In the case of perforation on only two sides, with the increase in the height of the perforated surface,\u0000 the peak value of sound absorption is gradually increased. In addition, the sound absorption peak gradually shifts to the low-frequency direction as the distance between the perforated surfaces increases. The reasonable design of structural parameters of microporous aluminum square tube can\u0000 make it have beautiful decorative effect and good sound absorbing effect.","PeriodicalId":49748,"journal":{"name":"Noise Control Engineering Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48416041","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}

Simultaneously propagating acoustic modes at the BPF result in strong circumferential and axial variation\u0000 of in-duct sound pressure levels. This poses a challenge for acoustic characterization and comparison of different hardware since typical measurement techniques do not consider the sensitivity of acoustic pressure to the measurement location. The current work utilizes a steady-flow turbocharger\u0000 gas stand with a unique rotating compressor inlet duct fitted with multiple wall-mounted dynamic pressure transducers capable of performing a modal decomposition of the acoustic field. The decomposition is done using time-resolved acoustic pressure measurements from different orientations\u0000 of the rotating inlet duct during steady compressor operation. The resulting modal amplitudes are then used to determine the sound power level, a quantity that is independent of the acoustic pressure measurement locations. Therefore, in addition to revealing the modal content of noise at the\u0000 compressor inlet, the rotating inlet duct experimental setup better characterizes the acoustic field with sound power levels across the operating flow range at various compressor rotational speeds.","PeriodicalId":49748,"journal":{"name":"Noise Control Engineering Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49329072","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}

A standard tapping machine or a standard impact ball is used for these tests, but\u0000 these input sources usually do not have any provision to measure the input force. In this work, the input force of these impact methods was measured on seven different assemblies, and a modal hammer was used as a “control” source. The input force and average floor impedance were\u0000 measured and compared to each other. The peak input force levels due to the tapping machine vary by approximately 38 dB from one floor to the other, and the frequency excitation bandwidth varies widely based on the type of floor construction. This shows that there is a need to measure the\u0000 input force and scale the output sound quantity with the input force to get a frequency response function (FRF)-like quantity to compare different floor-ceiling assemblies. For the impact ball, the variation in low-frequency input force levels is almost non-existent, but the impact ball has\u0000 a poor measurement signal-to-noise ratio above 80 Hz one-third octave band. The impedance measured using the impact ball matches closely with the control impedance measured using the modal hammer.","PeriodicalId":49748,"journal":{"name":"Noise Control Engineering Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45192662","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}

To assess how noise control strategies are implemented across the United States (US), a national survey of noise abatement strategies was conducted. The paper provides a summary of this survey and reports the noise control approaches\u0000 at 42 different airports across the US. The survey considered general aspects of noise control, as well as specific questions related to noise abatement procedures, noise limits and curfews. Participants were also asked their opinion on the impact of the International Civil Aviation Organization\u0000 (ICAO) Balanced Approach, which is the ICAO recommended framework to address aircraft noise. Although just a snapshot of activities across the US is presented, results indicate that a wide array of noise abatement procedures is being implemented.
