As its key component, the central bevel gear transmission system is always designed only considering the meshing vibration and ignoring structural characteristics of shafts and bearings, and comprehensive vibration characteristics\u0000 is not well addressed. The transmission system may suffer severe vibration. To accurately study the dynamic characteristics of the system, a model of a central bevel gear transmission system is developed considering the effects of bevel gear mesh stiffness, shaft stiffness, bearing stiffness,\u0000 and unbalance excitation in this paper. It has been validated by finite element software ANSYS. On this basis, the influence of variation of bearing stiffness and mesh stiffness on the natural characteristics of the central bevel gear transmission system is investigated. The influence of unbalance\u0000 on the radial vibration and gear meshing force is studied by the analytical calculation method. A case study is carried out. The results show that variation of stiffness within a certain range will cause dramatic changes in the natural characteristics of the system. The unbalance of the driven\u0000 bevel gear shaft has an effect on the radial vibration and meshing force of the system. The proposed model can reflect radial vibration characteristics, axial vibration characteristics, torsional vibration characteristics, and some coupled natural characteristics of the system. This research\u0000 provides a theoretical basis to optimize dynamic performance and reduce the vibration of the system and will be helpful in designing the central bevel gear transmission system.","PeriodicalId":49748,"journal":{"name":"Noise Control Engineering Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43531045","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}

However, it is difficult to accurately reflect the frequency characteristics of the transformer, which have a large influence on the noise produced, because the high voltage and\u0000 current make it impossible to experimentally measure the internal excitation forces involved. In this paper, we propose a new method using an experimental apparatus for estimating the internal excitation forces experienced by transformers whose results accurately reflect the actual frequency\u0000 characteristics of the transformer. To estimate the excitation force, the pressure distribution data outside the enclosure of a transformer was experimentally measured by the experimental apparatus based on a beamforming method, and the transfer function from the excitation source to the noise\u0000 radiation was derived numerically. The excitation force was then derived using the pressure distribution data and transfer function. Based on the estimated excitation force, the contribution of each vibration transmission path was derived using transfer path analysis with integrated transfer\u0000 function matrix as a basis for creating an effective noise reduction plan. The noise reduction plan based on our method was able to reduce transformer noise sufficiently to meet the noise standard set in standard transformer export contracts.","PeriodicalId":49748,"journal":{"name":"Noise Control Engineering Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41987476","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}

An integrated passive control method in which constrained layer dampers and DVAs were\u0000 simultaneously attached on the rail was proposed to attenuate the vibration and noise of the rail in a broad frequency range and to suppress the maximum vibration emitted by the first pinned-pinned resonance of the rail. The design method for the integrated application was developed based\u0000 on the optimum design theory of DVA for multiple-degree-of-freedom damping structures.

It has been developed for sources moving along a circular trajectory, such as turbomachinery\u0000 blades. The original ROSI method processes the measured acoustic signals over a long time segment to reconstruct the noise sources, providing time-averaged results for each noise source. By doing so, it does not take into consideration certain features of the noise sources, such as the directivity\u0000 of the trailing edge and leading-edge noise sources. A further development of the ROSI method is presented herein, which separates the sound-pressure signal of one revolution into multiple segments. In this way, the beamforming maps can provide one with a better understanding of the differences\u0000 between the noise sources as a function of angular position. This method will be referred to herein as the segmented ROSI method. The goal of this further development is to improve the capability of the method in identifying the position-dependent modulations of the various noise sources as\u0000 they are moving along their trajectories, rotating around the axis. The investigation presents the theory behind the new segmented ROSI method along with simulation and measurement-based test cases which help in comparing the new method to the original ROSI method. The results show that the\u0000 novel method provides a strong tool for investigating turbomachinery noise sources that vary along segments of their trajectories. It is therefore expected that the tool will be useful in cases that look at turbomachinery from an angle and cases where the loading of the blades changes as a\u0000 function of angular position.","PeriodicalId":49748,"journal":{"name":"Noise Control Engineering Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42767168","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 field study was conducted in the Faisalabad and Narowal districts of Pakistan to examine the spread of tractor noise and its psychological effects\u0000 on the safety of tractor operators driving tractors without cabins and other noise reduction measures. Four of the most common imple- ments used in Pakistan, including land scraper, cultivator, disk harrow and seed drill, were used to detect the changes in tractor noise at two speeds of 5.3\u0000 km/h and 10.6 km/h in all four directions. Lowest noise was produced during the field operation of the seed drill at a mean noise value of 81.9 dB(A) among all four implements. Disk harrow and cultivator were found to be the most noisy implement, and during oper- ation, the tractor operator\u0000 was directly exposed to high noise levels of 86.9 dB(A) and 84.9 dB(A), respectively. This noise pollution caused psychological problems in agri- cultural tractor operators, as demonstrated by the highly positive correlations of de- pression, aggression, anxiety and stress. This trend had\u0000 a negative effect on their social interactions relative to the comparable population of office employees. In or- der to mitigate the adverse health effects, tractor operators must be equipped with sound proof cabins or at least ear plugs because of direct exposure to high noise levels.
