Abstract Helmholtz resonators are widely used to control low frequency noise propagating in pipes. In this paper, the elastic bottom plate of Helmholtz resonator is simplified as a single degree of freedom (SDOF) vibration system with acoustic excitation, and a one-dimensional lumped-parameter analytical model was developed to accurately characterize the structure-acoustic coupling and sound transmission loss (STL) of a Helmholtz resonator with an elastic bottom plate. The effect of dynamical parameters of elastic bottom plate on STL is analyzed by utilizing the model. A design criterion to circumvent the effect of wall elasticity of Helmholtz resonators More >

Abstract The Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) experience during driving is significantly influenced by the sound insulation performance of the car floor acoustic package. As such, accurate and efficient predictions of its sound insulation performance are crucial for optimizing related noise reduction designs. However, the complex acoustic transmission mechanisms and difficulties in characterizing the sound absorption and insulation properties of the floor acoustic package pose significant challenges to traditional Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) methods, leading to low modeling efficiency and prediction accuracy. To address these limitations, a hierarchical multi-objective decomposition system for predicting the sound insulation performance More >

Abstract The optimization of the acoustic silencer volume is very important to develop it and to get high-performance, the importance of the silencer was appeared in industrial field to eliminate the noise of the duct by efficient and economical method. The main goal of this research is to optimize the transmission loss (TL) by analytical method of the Double-Chamber Silencer (DCS), the TL has been selected as the main parameter in silencer because it does not based on the source or the termination impedances. First we calculated the power transmission coefficient (PTC) and the TL of More >

Abstract Honeycomb structures have recently, replaced with conventional homogeneous materials. Given the fact that sandwich panels containing a honeycomb core are able to adjust geometric parameters, including internal angles, they are suitable for acoustic control applications. The main objective of this study was to obtain a transmission loss curve in a specific honeycomb frequency range along with same overall dimensions and weight. In this study, a finite element model (FEM) in ABAQUS software was used to simulate honeycomb panels, evaluate resonant frequencies, and for acoustic analysis. This model was used to obtain acoustic pressure and then… More >
