A sliding Goertzel algorithm for adaptive passive neutralizers

A common method used in tuning adaptive–passive tuned vibration neutralizers is to adjust its resonance frequency to match the excitation frequency, which has the characteristic that the phase angle between its vibrating mass and its support is ?90°. A sliding-Goertzel algorithm is presented and demonstrated for extracting the vibration signals at the frequency of interest. The benefit of using the sliding Goertzel algorithm compared to other methods when used in vibration environments with multiple tones is that additional band-pass notch filtering is not required. This algorithm could also be used for adaptive tuned mass dampers, adaptive Helmholtz resonators, and adaptive quarter-wave tubes.     

Simulation of anisoplanatism of adaptive optical system in inhomogeneous turbulent atmosphere

The goal of this study was to analyse anisoplanatism of adaptive optics under an inhomogeneous turbulent atmosphere over a pupil of finite size. By means of a numerical model with layers of turbulence software was proposed by which point spread function (PSF), optical transfer function (OTF) as well as system isoplanatic angle can be calculated. Atmospheric turbulence was simulated with the aid of a set of moving random phase screens with arbitrary statistics. Both reference and target are assumed to be the point light sources. To simulate atmospheric turbulence we applied the concept of a number of moving random phase screens with Kolmogorov spectrum. In my investigation I used the model of the Shack-Hartmann wave front sensor and the ideal model of a wave front adaptive mirror that is assumed to reproduce a given number of Zernike polynomials without time delays. The designed software allows calculation of instantaneous and average values of phase correction errors at different angles between a reference beacon and target source. Simulations can be made with a broad range of parameters of an adaptive system and atmospheric turbulence. The system of the model allows changing of the control algorithm of phase correction. Both common phase conjugation and weighted phase conjugation algorithm have been tested. This program is capable of calculating the effects of beam diffraction during propagation in the atmosphere.

Two-dimensional birefringence measurement system with a polarization modulator and a rotating analyzer

The measuring system of two-dimensional birefringence distribution with a polarization modulator and a rotating analyzer using a rotating analyzer method is presented. The system simply consists of a laser diode, two polarizers, two quarter wave plates and a CCD camera. Thanks to an imaging system, the mechanism to scan a sample is unnecessary and two-dimensional measurement is possible and easy. The birefringence of retardation and orientation of the optic axis can be determined by the azimuth angle of an elliptically polarized light passing through a sample. The azimuth angle is obtained by applying the phase shifting algorithm to measure the polarization properties; by improving the calculation algorithm, wide range measurement is accomplished. The measurement procedure and a number of results are described.

Correction of fan noise for effects of forward flight

When acoustic measurements are made on a static engine test stand, the data must be corrected for the effects of forward flight to predict correctly the noise characteristics of the engine in flight. A ray tracing approach is used here to relate the static test case to the flight case. The assumptions of isentropic irrotational flow into the fan inlet and a cylindrical shear layer at the fan exhaust lead to slightly different methods for correcting inlet noise and exhaust noise. The forward flight correction method generally involves both an angle and an amplitude correction. The amplitude correction factors for inlet and exhaust noise are the same as that for a dipole and can be as much as 6 dB for a flight Mach number of 0·3. The angle correction for the inlet noise differs from that of the exhaust noise, and both differ from the generally used correction to retarded angle.     

Real-time Adaptive Optics with a Twisted Nematic Liquid Crystal Light Modulator Controlled by the Wave Front Reconstruction Sensor

We propose adaptive optics constructed with a new principle. In this system, numerical phase reconstruction algorithm is incorporated with the Hartmann wave front sensor and the phase compensator is driven to the conjugate of the input phase distortion at each time step. The computer simulation shows a sufficient robustness and swiftness of the wave front reconstruction sensor. Then, the experimental system is configured putting special emphasis on the simplicity and feasibility of the system. A small 2-dimensional grid mask is used in the Hartmann sensor, and a twisted nematic phase modulator with a response time of 30 ms is used as the phase compensator. The control system has a simple open loop setup using a phase reconstruction algorithm. This experimental system was effective not only for static phase distortion, but also for the dynamic phase perturbation induced by a thermal convection.

Implementation of active noise control in a multi-modal spray dryer exhaust stack

Tonal noise emitted from large-diameter spray dryer exhaust stacks used in the dairy industry can give rise to complaints from nearby communities. In many cases, the tone at the fan blade passing frequency is characterized by a frequency above the first mode cut on frequency of the exhaust stack and both its amplitude and the frequency are time varying. The variation in amplitude is a result of turbulence and temperature variations in the duct which cause angular variations in the nodal plane of modes with diametrical nodes. This in turn results in large fluctuations in sound pressure with time at any specified location in the duct, thus presenting a significant challenge for an ANC system with fixed control source and error sensor locations. In many food processing industries, the use of sound absorptive materials in silencers is not acceptable and, particularly when the fan speed is variable, it is difficult to achieve an acceptable passive solution at a reasonable cost. Here, the design and implementation of an active noise control system for tonal noise propagating above the cut-on frequency of the first higher order mode in large size cylindrical industrial exhaust stack is discussed, where the frequency and amplitude vary significantly and relatively rapidly with time. Physical system design principles and control algorithm optimization for a practical active noise control system are presented. Finally, real time control results which were achieved by a prototype installation on a large-diameter, in-service exhaust stack are given. Significant noise reductions were achieved in the community.

Time-domain simulation of acoustic wave propagation and interaction with flexible structures using Chebyshev collocation method

A time-domain Chebyshev collocation (ChC) method is used to simulate acoustic wave propagation and its interaction with flexible structures in ducts. The numerical formulation is described using a two-dimensional duct noise control system, which consists of an expansion chamber and a tensioned membrane covering the side-branch cavity. Full coupling between the acoustic wave and the structural vibration of the tensioned membrane is considered in the modelling. A systematic method of solution is developed for the discretized differential equations over multiple physical domains. The time-domain ChC model is tested against analytical solutions under two conditions: one with an initial state of wave motion; the other with a time-dependent acoustic source. Comparisons with the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method are also made. Results show that the time-domain ChC method is highly accurate and computationally efficient for the time-dependent solution of duct acoustic problems. For illustrative purposes, the time-domain ChC method is applied to investigate the acoustic performance of three typical duct noise control devices: the expansion chamber, the quarter wavelength resonator and the drum silencer. The time-dependent simulation of the sound-structure interaction in the drum silencer reveals the delicate role of the membrane mass and tension in its sound reflection capability.     

Predicting insertion loss of large duct systems above the plane wave cutoff frequency

If the dimensions of a silencer or muffler component are small compared to an acoustic wavelength, plane wave propagation can be assumed. This is not the case for HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) duct systems, and large diesel engine mufflers commonly used in ship and generator sets. For such applications, the wave behavior in the inlet and outlet ducts is three-dimensional. In this paper, the finite element method is utilized to simulate large duct systems with an aim to predict the insertion loss. The boundary condition on the source side is a diffuse field applied by determining a suitable cross-spectral force matrix of the excitation. At the termination, the radiation impedance is calculated utilizing a wavelet algorithm. Simulation results are compared to published measurement results for HVAC plenums and demonstrate good agreement.     

Adaptive optics correction based on stochastic parallel gradient descent technique under various atmospheric scintillation conditions: numerical simulation

An adaptive optics system utilizing a Shack–Hartmann wavefront sensor and a deformable mirror can successfully correct a distorted wavefront by the conjugation principle. However, if a wave propagates over such a path that scintillation is not negligible, the appearance of branch points makes least-squares reconstruction fail to estimate the wavefront effectively. An adaptive optics technique based on the stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) control algorithm is an alternative approach which does not need wavefront information but optimizes the performance metric directly. Performance was evaluated by simulating a SPGD control system and conventional adaptive correction with least-squares reconstruction in the context of a laser beam projection system. We also examined the relative performance of coping with branch points by the SPGD technique through an example. All studies were carried out under the conditions of assuming the systems have noise-free measurements and infinite time control bandwidth. Results indicate that the SPGD adaptive system always performs better than the system based on the least-squares wavefront reconstruction technique in the presence of relatively serious intensity scintillations. The reason is that the SPGD adaptive system has the ability of compensating a discontinuous phase, although the phase is not detected and reconstructed.

Acoustical source characterization studies on a multi-cylinder engine exhaust system

It is well known that the characterization of the acoustic source in an exhaust muffler system is of utmost importance in the proper evaluation of the acoustic performance of the muffler. However, in the literature, there are very few experimental studies on source characterization of a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine. This paper describes the use of a transfer function method (with a random excitation source) for measurement of the internal source impedance of an eight-cylinder engine under running conditions. The results obtained agree well with those obtained by the standing wave method by earlier investigators. The studies include the effect on the measured internal source impedance caused by variation of engine speed and load. The source impedance results obtained for the engine in operation are compared with those for the engine not in operation. The use of these results in the overall modeling of the exhaust system is described in an accompanying paper.
