Experimental and Numerical Study of the Key Non-Dimensional Geometrical Parameters on the Noise Level of Dry-Type Cast Resin Transformers

Dry-Type Cast Resin Distribution Transformers (CRT) is the secondgeneration of air-cooled distribution transformers where oil is replaced by resin for electrical insulation. CRT transformers may installed indoor adjacent to or near residential areas since they are clean and safe comparing to the conventional transformers. But, as it is obvious, noise discrepancy is intrinsically accompanied with all types of transformers and is inevitable for CRT transformers too. Minimization of noise level caused by such these transformers has biological and ergonomic importance. As it is known the core of transformers is the main source of the noise generation. In this paper, experimental and numerical investigation is implemented for a large number of fabricated CRT transformers in IT Co (Iran Transfo Company) to evaluate the effective geometrical parameters of the core on the overall sound level of transformers. Noise Level of each sample is measured according to criteria of IEC60651 and is reported in units of Decibel (dB). Numerical simulation is done using noncommercial version of ANSYS Workbench software to extract first six natural frequencies and mode shapes of CRT cores which is reported in units of Hz. Three novel non-dimensional variables for geometry of the transformer core are introduced. Both experimental and numerical results show approximately similar response to these variables. Correlation between natural frequencies and noise level is evaluated statistically. Pearson factor shows that there is a robust conjunction between first two natural frequencies and noise level of CRTs. Results show that noise level decreases as the two first natural frequencies increases and vice versa, noise level increases as the two natural frequencies of the core decreases. Finally the noise level decomposed to two parts.

Measuring the optical rotation based on the Fast Fourier Transform

Based on the structure of polarizer–Faraday modulator–analyzer, a method of measuring the optical rotation is proposed by using Fast Fourier Transform to analyze the output signal of optical material. The output signal detected by a photodetector comprises two AC components, which angular frequencies are ω and 2ω, respectively. So, the amplitude ratio of different frequency signals can be obtained by using the Fast Fourier Transform. According to the relationship between the amplitude ratio and optical rotation, the optical rotation of material can be detected. Furthermore, the experiment results show that the correlation coefficient between the measured optical rotation and the sugar solution concentration is found to be 0.99979.     

Refracted arrival waves in a zone of silence from a finite thickness mixing layer

Refracted arrival waves which propagate in the zone of silence of a finite thickness mixing layer are analyzed using geometrical acoustics in two dimensions. Here, two simplifying assumptions are made: (i) the mean flow field is transversely sheared, and (ii) the mean velocity and temperature profiles approach the free-stream conditions exponentially. Under these assumptions, ray trajectories are analytically solved, and a formula for acoustic pressure amplitude in the far field is derived in the high-frequency limit. This formula is compared with the existing theory based on a vortex sheet corresponding to the low-frequency limit. The analysis covers the dependence on the Mach number as well as on the temperature ratio. The results show that both limits have some qualitative similarities, but the amplitude in the zone of silence at high frequencies is proportional to omega(-1/2), while that at low frequencies is proportional to omega(-3/2), omega being the angular frequency of the source.     

Influence of primary frequencies ratio on distortion product otoacoustic emissions amplitude. II. Interrelations between multicomponent DPOAEs, tone-burst-evoked OAEs, and spontaneous OAEs

Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) are used widely in humans to assess cochlear function. It is well known that 2f1-f2 DPOAE amplitude increases as the f2/f1 ratio increases from 1.0 to about 1.20, and then decreases as the f2/f1 ratio increases above 1.20, showing an amplitude ratio function, which is thought to be related to cochlear filtering properties. Different lower sideband DPOAEs are believed to show the same amplitude ratio functions as the 2f1-f2 DPOAE, with a magnitude peak situated at a constant DPOAE frequency relative to f2. More recently, several studies have suggested the involvement of a DPOAE component coming from its own distortion product place as well as the DPOAE component coming from the f2 place. To investigate DPOAE generation sites and the importance of the DPOAE frequency place, amplitude ratio functions of 2f1-f2, 3f1-2f2, 4f1-3f2 and 2f2-f1, 3f2-2f1, 4f2-3f1 DPOAE components have been systematically studied in 18 normally hearing subjects, using an f2 fixed, f1 sweep method, and an f1 fixed, f2 sweep method, at ten different f2 frequencies. Results show a dependency of the distortion magnitude peak on f2 frequency for each lower sideband DPOAE, and a small frequency shift of the distortion peak for the high order lower sideband DPOAE components. Strong correlation between the different lower sideband DPOAE amplitude were obtained, whether they were recorded with the same f1 (and a different f2) or with the same f2 (and a different f1), suggesting that lower side-band DPOAE amplitude does not depend on small variations in the f2 frequency. Moreover, correlations between DPOAE amplitude and tone-burst evoked otoacoustic emissions (TBOAEs) are highly significant for TBOAEs centered at the f2 frequency and at 1/2 octave below the f2 frequency, suggesting some degree of importance of the cochlear status at frequencies below f2 in DPOAE amplitude. Subjects presenting spontaneous otoacoustic emissions showed a greater lower sideband DPOAE amplitude recorded for low f2/f1 ratios, and a distortion magnitude peak shifted towards higher frequencies. The best correlation between upper sideband DPOAE amplitude and lower sideband DPOAE amplitude occurred for lower sideband DPOAEs generated by an f2 frequency 1/2 octave to 1 octave below the primaries used to generate upper sideband DPOAEs, suggesting a site of generation basal to f2 for the upper sideband DPOAEs. Correlations between TBOAE amplitude and upper sideband DPOAE amplitude agreed with a site of upper sideband DPOAE generation basal to f2, and which would move with the DPOAE frequency itself.     

Laser ultrasonic characterization of adhesive bonds between epoxy coating and aluminum substrate

Nanosecond pulsed laser irradiation through transparent epoxy bonded to aluminum substrate excites wide-band ultrasonic waves at the bonded interface. The normal displacements on the rear surface of aluminum produced by the direct and multi-reflected longitudinal waves in the coating layer are detected by a laser interferometer. The amplitude of the reflected signal depends on the properties of the coating/substrate interface, which is described by terms of the interfacial stiffness using a spring boundary model. The waveforms at the epicenter versus interfacial stiffness are simulated and found to be in good agreement with experimental results. The relation between the interfacial stiffness and the amplitude ratio of the reflected and direct waves is thus established. An image of amplitude ratio of a specimen (null 10 mm) is obtained from the epicenter waveforms recorded by a laser ultrasonic scanning system, which shows the distribution of bond quality on the bonding interface.

Hysteresis in response of nonlinear bistable interface to continuously varying acoustic loading

In many experimental situations it is an equation of the forced relaxator and not of the forced oscillator that describes a variation in the acoustic field of the interface width (i.e. of a characteristic distance between the surfaces composing the interface). The developed theory predicts that some types of the nonlinear relaxators (depending on the structure of the nonlinear interaction force between the surfaces) exhibit hysteresis in their response to continuous acoustic loading of first increasing and then decreasing amplitude. Nonlinear (unharmonic) variation of the interface width starts at threshold amplitude of the incident sinusoidal acoustic wave, which is higher than threshold amplitude for returning to sinusoidal motion. This dynamic hysteresis (and accompanying it bistability) are possible, in particular, if the dependence of the effective interaction force on the interface width admits two quasi-equilibrium positions of the interface (bistable interface) or if the force itself is hysteretic (hysteretic interface). These theoretical predictions are relevant to some recent experimental observations on the interaction of powerful ultrasonic fields with cracks.     

Bottom-up driven involuntary attention modulates auditory signal in noise processing

Background  

Auditory evoked responses can be modulated by both the sequencing and the signal-to-noise ratio of auditory stimuli. Constant sequencing as well as intense masking sounds basically lead to N1m response amplitude reduction. However, the interaction between these two factors has not been investigated so far. Here, we presented subjects tone stimuli of different frequencies, which were either concatenated in blocks of constant frequency or in blocks of randomly changing frequencies. The tones were presented either in silence or together with broad-band noises of varying levels.     

Influence of primary frequencies ratio on distortion product otoacoustic emissions amplitude. I. Intersubject variability and consequences on the DPOAE-gram

Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) are used widely in humans to assess cochlear function. The standard procedure consists of recording the 2f1-f2 DPOAE amplitude as a function of the f2 frequency, using a fixed f2/f1 ratio (DPOAE-gram), close to 1.20. DPOAE amplitude, as recorded in the DPOAE-gram, shows a wide range of values in normal-hearing subjects, which can impair the predictive value of the DPOAE-gram for hearing thresholds. This study is aimed at comparing intersubject variability in 2f1-f2 DPOAE amplitude according to three paradigms: a fixed f2/f1 ratio, such as the DPOAE-gram, a variable ratio DPOAE-gram (f2/f1 adapted to frequency) and an "optimum" DPOAE-gram, where the f2/f1 is adapted both to subject and frequency. The 2f1-f2 DPOAE amplitude has been investigated on 18 normally hearing subjects at ten different f2 frequencies (from 0.75 to 6 kHz), using an f2 fixed, f1 sweep paradigm, and allowed to define, for each frequency, the f2/f1 ratio giving the greatest 2f1-f2 DPOAE amplitude (or optimum ratio). Results showed a large intersubject variability of the optimum ratio, especially at frequencies below 1.5 kHz, and a significant decrease of the optimum ratio with frequency. The optimum DPOAE-gram was underestimated by up to 5.8 dB on average (up to 14.9 dB for an individual subject) by the fixed ratio DPOAE-gram, and by up to 3 dB on average (up to 10.6 dB for an individual subject) by the variable ratio DPOAE-gram. Intersubject variability was slightly but significantly reduced in the optimum DPOAE-gram versus the fixed-ratio DPOAE-gram. Lastly, correlations between tone-burst evoked otoacoustic emission (TBOAE) amplitudes and maximum DPOAE amplitudes were significantly greater than correlations between TBOAE amplitudes and fixed-ratio DPOAE amplitudes.
