The diffracted sound field from the transition region of an axisymmetric body was calculated by the geometrical theory of diffraction. The diffraction ray between the source point and the receiving point on the surface of an axisymmetric body was calculated by using the dynamic programming method. Based on the diffracted sound field, a simulation scheme for the noise correlation of the conformal array was presented. It was shown that the normalized pressure of the diffracted sound field from the transition region reduced with the increases of the frequency and the curvature of the ray. The flow noises of two models were compared and a rather optimum fore-body geometric shape was given. Furthermore, it was shown that the correlation of the flow noise in the low frequencies was stronger than that in the high frequencies. And the flow noise received by the acoustic array on the curved surface had a stronger correlation than that on the head plane at the designed center frequency, which is important for sonar system design.展开更多

But these systems could only accurately reproduce sound field at a central listening point which is called sweetspot. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a non-central zone sound field reproduction method PVMDZ（particle velocity matching between different zones） based on the physical property of sound. The proposed method matches the physical property of sound of non-central zone in reconstructed sound field with that of central zone in original sound field, so the reproduced non-central zone would produce the same listening experience as the central zone of the original system does. By experiments, we compare the performances of the proposed method with the traditional one, and the result proves that the sound field error of proposed method is reduced.展开更多

From a known result that the circle or rectangle function is approximately decomposed into a sum of Gaussian functions, the cosine function is similarly expanded by the Bessel Fourier transform. Two expansions are together inserted in this field integral, it is then expressible in terms of the simple algebraic functions. As examples, the numerical results for the sound pressure field are presented for the uniform rectangular piston transducer, in a good agreement with those directly evaluated from the Fresnel integral. A wide applicability of this approach is discussed in treatment of the ultrasonic field radiation problem for a large and important group of piston sources in acoustics.展开更多

Phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) as one of the NDE methods is more promising compared with conventional ultrasonic testing (UT) method in terms of inspection speed and flexibility. To incorporate PAUT, the techniques should be qualified, which traditionally is performed by extensive physical experiments. However, with the development of numerical models simulating UT method, it is expected to complement or partly replace the experiments with the intention to reduce costs and operational uncertainties. The models should be validated to ensure its consistency to reality. This validation work can be done by comparing the model with other validated models or corresponding experiments. The purpose of current work focuses on the experimental validation of a numerical model, simSUNDT, developed by the Chalmers University of Technology. Validation is conducted by comparing different data presentations (A-, B- and C-scan) from experimental and simulated results with some well-defined artificial defects. Satisfactory correlations can be observed from the comparisons. After the validation, sound field optimization work aiming at retrieving maximized echo amplitude on a certain defect can be started using the model. This also reveals the flexibility of parametric studies using simulation models.展开更多

In this study, we take a measurement of sound pressure distribution, sound field variability, and effects of frequency shifting on sound pressure levels (SPLs) at reference points of pure tone in an audiometric test room. It was found that the pure tone SPLs were also distributed uniformly at some sound field areas although it was not so well as warble tones. This indicated that the test results were relatively stable to head movement and/or frequency shifting in those regions, which was confirmed by the clinical measurements on 20 subjects with severe sensorineural hearing loss. Our study concluded that pure tones could also be suitable for sound field audiometry if subjects were seated at a proper location on the basis of the sound field calibrations.展开更多

The diffracted sound field from the transition region of an axisymmetric body was calculated by the geometrical theory of diffraction. The diffraction ray between the source point and the receiving point on the surface of an axisymmetric body was calculated by using the dynamic programming method. Based on the diffracted sound field, a simulation scheme for the noise correlation of the conformal array was presented. It was shown that the normalized pressure of the diffracted sound field from the transition region reduced with the increases of the frequency and the curvature of the ray. The flow noises of two models were compared and a rather optimum fore-body geometric shape was given. Furthermore, it was shown that the correlation of the flow noise in the low frequencies was stronger than that in the high frequencies. And the flow noise received by the acoustic array on the curved surface had a stronger correlation than that on the head plane at the designed center frequency, which is important for sonar system design.

From a known result that the circle or rectangle function is approximately decomposed into a sum of Gaussian functions, the cosine function is similarly expanded by the Bessel Fourier transform. Two expansions are together inserted in this field integral, it is then expressible in terms of the simple algebraic functions. As examples, the numerical results for the sound pressure field are presented for the uniform rectangular piston transducer, in a good agreement with those directly evaluated from the Fresnel integral. A wide applicability of this approach is discussed in treatment of the ultrasonic field radiation problem for a large and important group of piston sources in acoustics.
文摘In safety dominant industries, nondestructive evaluation (NDE) is crucial in quality assurance and assessment. Phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) as one of the NDE methods is more promising compared with conventional ultrasonic testing (UT) method in terms of inspection speed and flexibility. To incorporate PAUT, the techniques should be qualified, which traditionally is performed by extensive physical experiments. However, with the development of numerical models simulating UT method, it is expected to complement or partly replace the experiments with the intention to reduce costs and operational uncertainties. The models should be validated to ensure its consistency to reality. This validation work can be done by comparing the model with other validated models or corresponding experiments. The purpose of current work focuses on the experimental validation of a numerical model, simSUNDT, developed by the Chalmers University of Technology. Validation is conducted by comparing different data presentations (A-, B- and C-scan) from experimental and simulated results with some well-defined artificial defects. Satisfactory correlations can be observed from the comparisons. After the validation, sound field optimization work aiming at retrieving maximized echo amplitude on a certain defect can be started using the model. This also reveals the flexibility of parametric studies using simulation models.

文摘Acoustic field reconstruction for aircraft engine fans is essential for effective noise reduction.However,the use of a limited number of far-field measurement points in the reconstruction process exacerbates the ill-posedness issues,which necessitates the adoption of regularization techniques.The hierarchical Bayesian-based regularisation method has recently been applied to solve the equivalent source intensity distribution and reconstruct the sound field.However,previous methods have failed to accurately obtain the acoustic modal coefficients of the sound source,which are essential for determining the radiation type and directivity.This paper proposes a sound field reconstruction method that applies the hierarchical Bayesian algorithm to the source modal coefficient solution.Firstly,the deconvolution beamforming method obtains the sound source position.Subsequently,the hierarchical Bayesian algorithm is employed to obtain the source modal coefficients of the sound field,thereby completing the reconstruction of the sound field in the far-field region.Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm is highly effective in reconstructing far-field sound fields.Under free-field conditions and in mid-high frequency ranges,the average reconstruction error can be significantly reduced by using a few far-field microphones compared to traditional methods.

文摘Traditional analysis on stereophonic and multichannel sound is based on localization theorem of virtual source,which serves as the basis for designing loudspeaker configuration and signal mixing.However,this traditional theorem is unable to fully explain some psychoacoustic phenomena in reproduction.In present work,a method of analyzing the control of sound field modes in stereophonic and multichannel sound reproduction is proposed.Using Fourier-Bessel expansion,the reproduced sound field is decomposed into a combination of multi-pole modes with various orders.A result consistent with that of traditional virtual source localization theorem is obtained by matching the reproduced modes with that of target sound field up to the first order.By analyzing the contributions of the power of loudspeaker signals to desired and undesired sound field modes,a cost function for desired sound field modes is introduced and serves as a physical criterion of sound field control.Analyses on examples of stereophonic and 5.1-channel sound indicate that an excessive span between a pair adjacent loudspeakers and out-of phase signals for creating virtual source outside the loudspeaker span increase the cost of sound field control,resulting in directional distortion or instability of virtual source.The analyses are validated by psychoacoustic experiments.
文摘It′s generally believed that the appropriate stimuli for sound field tests are warble tones and narrow band noise, while pure tone can only be a signal used in the free field and earphone listening conditions. In this study, we take a measurement of sound pressure distribution, sound field variability, and effects of frequency shifting on sound pressure levels (SPLs) at reference points of pure tone in an audiometric test room. It was found that the pure tone SPLs were also distributed uniformly at some sound field areas although it was not so well as warble tones. This indicated that the test results were relatively stable to head movement and/or frequency shifting in those regions, which was confirmed by the clinical measurements on 20 subjects with severe sensorineural hearing loss. Our study concluded that pure tones could also be suitable for sound field audiometry if subjects were seated at a proper location on the basis of the sound field calibrations.
文摘In this paper, a novel method for Three dimensional active sound field cancellation is proposed. The optimum sound cancellations in different situations may be obtained. An array whose elements lie on a set of rings placed on the surface of a scattering object is considered as the device. It is quite possible to cancel the scattered sound field to any arbitrary level over either the whole space or a partial area of interest, as long as the number of the array elements issufficient

文摘In order to study the correlation between the internal flow noise of the centrifugal pump and the turbulent pressure pulsation,a single-stage single-suction centrifugal pump was used as the research object by the combination of numerical calculation and experiment.Based on the RNG k-?model and the N-S equation,the model pump was simulated numerically by CFD.A dipole sound source was extracted by the turbulent pulse action of the volute wall surface according to the FW-H equation.The acoustic field of the model pump was solved on the basis of the boundary element method,and the sound pressure distribution of the internal flow field under the action of the dipole sound source of the volute wall and the frequency response of the inlet and outlet fields were obtained.The results show that the distribution of hydrodynamic noise inside the centrifugal pump is related to the pressure pulsation,presenting obvious dipole distribution and disturbance at the tongue.The sound pressure value of the field is mainly concentrated in the blade passing frequency and double frequency,in which the blade passing frequency is the strongest,and the sound pressure value decreases obviously under other double frequency.The main frequency of hydrodynamic noise is the blade passing frequency.
