Different approaches are investigated to minimize this phenomenon, based on the control of the electromagnetic source for example, or on the optimization of the structural design. This paper introduces a framework allowing time-efficient reduction of noise radiation without affecting electromagnetic performance of electric motors, based on the combination of reduced order model and optimization of viscoelastic properties of potting resins. Although viscoelastic resins are frequently used in electric motors, they are primarily used for insulation, protection, and mechanical stability. The originality of this work is to endow them with a new functionality by dimensioning them in such a way as to reduce acoustic radiation. Indeed, the elastodynamic properties of resins depend on the frequency and on the temperature, and can be optimized to reduce the vibrations and thus the radiated noise. The design is complex because it involves coupled multiphysical phenomena that cannot be considered separately, and because the numerical models considered are large-scale models. A methodology is proposed in this paper and applied to the case of a high-speed electric motor. To guarantee fast and accurate estimation of the acoustic power in the optimization process, a reduced order model of the engine is developed from a multi-model basis taking into account the thermal and frequency dependencies of the materials. The numerical optimization thus carried out allows to identify the optimal resin properties, and a motor is coated to experimentally validate the results. Experimental characterization thus confirms that the radiated noise can be considerably reduced by using a suitable resin. This work opens the way to a new design strategy for electric motors providing resin coating with an acoustic function.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55506,"journal":{"name":"Applied Acoustics","volume":"233 ","pages":"Article 110600"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143464702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared to existing empirical formulas they provide increased accuracy, greater computational speed, and a wider range of applicability. Specifically, unlike existing empirical formulas, the proposed formulas can be applied: (i) to all wedge angles, (ii) to all receiver locations, and (iii) for all three types of simple sound sources: plane wave sources, line sources or point sources, both omni-directional and directional. Furthermore, they can be applied to low frequencies, a characteristic that is unique to the best of the authors’ knowledge. For low frequencies, their validity is limited to the cases where the distances of the source and the receiver from the edge differ by at least one order of magnitude. The suggested empirical formulas are incorporated into appropriate analytical models and can be applied to absorbing wedges and to diffraction by multiple wedges.

Previous methods relied on handcrafted features such as spectrograms, but these features often have limitations due to their manual nature. Recently, hybrid models that use both end-to-end learning from raw audio with CNNs and Transformers have been developed to address this issue. However, when raw audio features are compressed through convolutional neural networks (CNNs), numerous channels are created, leading to redundancy or irrelevant information, while Transformers also have their limitations. Therefore, we propose Channel Attention Shuffle and Temporal Jigsaw (CAS-TJ) to generate more effective features and improve robustness. CAS divides channels into groups, multiplies them by attention weights, aggregates, and shuffles them. This process allows information to be exchanged among various channels, creating more discriminative channels. TJ generates frame patches of a specific size and uses mixing and matching during the learning process. This helps to better understand temporal relationships and detect discriminative patterns. Finally, we conduct experiments on the ESC-50 and Urban-8k datasets and find that the overall performance of CAS-TJ is better than the baseline models.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55506,"journal":{"name":"Applied Acoustics","volume":"233 ","pages":"Article 110590"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143453053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
