When machines operate at varying speeds, traditional beamforming techniques like frequency-based beamforming is no longer suitable, as the generated vibroacoustic phenomena are nonstationary. Order-tracking is a popular way to deal with such nonstationary regimes and can extract orders, which are time-varying phasors rotating proportionally to shaft speed. This paper introduces an Order-Based Beamforming (OBBF) technique, which performs beamforming on extracted orders by mapping complex envelopes at the array's microphones to the source complex envelope to localize and quantify sources causing tonal noise at variable speeds. The wealth of information provided by OBBF facilitates the construction of tonal acoustic radiation movies along the course of an order with each frame being a beamforming map, thereby enabling source characterization in space, time, frequency, angle and angular speed. The proposed technique is comprehensively detailed and verified both in numerical simulations and experimentally on an induction motor test bench.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55506,"journal":{"name":"Applied Acoustics","volume":"231 ","pages":"Article 110433"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143095906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This stage provides initial estimates of the unknown sound source positions, serving as the foundation for the second stage. In the second stage, a novel particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based high-precision DOA solver is proposed.

The selection of optimal loudspeaker placements is crucial for enhancing system performance, which has led to the development of various algorithms for loudspeaker placement optimization.

This paper evaluates these methods in reproducing multiple desired sound fields. Additionally, existing approaches generally emphasize either reproduction accuracy or system stability, but rarely both. To address this limitation, this study introduces an iterative method that extracts the orthogonalization component between the candidate loudspeaker and the selected loudspeakers, referred to as the “orthogonal loudspeaker”. The sound fields reproduced by this component serve as the criterion for determining optimal loudspeaker placement during the iteration process. Experiments conducted in both narrowband and broadband settings demonstrate that the proposed method can accurately reconstruct the desired sound fields while maintaining a relatively low condition number for the selected loudspeaker configuration.

Our approach addresses the above issues from two perspectives. On the one hand, two types of time delays are used for localization to avoid the ambiguous position results caused by using a single time delay.

Four positioning results can be obtained by locating the signals received by two vertical hydrophones using time delays calculated in the DAZ and SZ, and the average of the two results with the highest similarity is the accurate source position.
