墙截面优化声学小房间低频响应的鲁棒性分析

改进了通过优化墙截面形状改善声学小房间低频响应的优化方法,实现了墙面阶梯形状宽度和深度同时优化。在60- 120 Hz频段对优化后房间频响随声源位置的鲁棒性进行了分析,并与未优化的房间比较。结果表明:对一个5×4．65×2．68 m3的小房间优化后,210个不同位置点声源所激励房间声场的频响标准偏差(SRD)平均值从未优化房间的9．66 dB下降为6．17 dB,频响最大偏离值(MD)平均值从未优化房间的41．27 dB下降为17．42 dB;SRD和MD值的标准差分别比未优化房间下降了44．8％和63．9％。证明了墙截面优化不仅能够使房间频响变好,而且小房间内频响对于声源位置的敏感程度也随着墙截面形状的优化而降低。通过运用优化的墙截面改善房间低频响应鲁棒性是有意义的。     

利用自相关函数warping变换的浅海声源深度判别

针对浅海波导声源深度判别问题,提出了一种利用warping变换提取接收信号简正波相关项的深度判别方法。对接收信号自相关函数做warping变换,分离其简正波相关项,利用能量占主导的简正波相关项特征频率之间的比例关系,确定其号数,从而分辨水面声源和水下声源。公式推导和数值仿真结果说明:不同深度声源激发的能量占主导的简正波相关项特征频率不同,可以用于判别声源深度。海试实验结果证明:在海水声速随深度不变或缓变的水文环境,低频条件下,该方法可以分离简正波相关项并确定其号数,在未知声源距离的情况下有效进行声源深度判别,且无须声源相对接收器运动。      

水下声音可冲出表面

简单的声波理论曾预言，任何在水下产生的声音都会在水-气交界面处发生反射，而不会发射到空气中去．因此长期以来科学家们相信在海下产生的声音是不可能被水面上探测到的．但最近美国Colorado环境科学联合研究所（Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Science，简称CIRES）的0．Godin博士发现简单的声波理论不能描述在水面附近产生的低频噪声波的行为，他利用最新的声波理论计算得出，当声波波长可与声源与水面的距离相比凝或更长时。声源发出的声波可全部发射到空气中．

浅海低频长线阵声源方位估计*

浅海大孔径水平阵信号估计近端射的低频声源方位时, 常规波束形成会产生明显的波束偏移和分裂现象, 从而造成单声源方位估计偏差。针对这一问题, 提出一种基于块稀疏压缩感知的声源方位估计方法。根据简正模理论, 将水平阵接收声场表示为方位角空间的块稀疏信号模型, 并通过块正交匹配追踪算法进行方位估计。仿真和2011年北黄海实验数据结果表明所提块正交匹配追踪方法可实现浅海波导环境下低频近端射的单个声源方位的准确估计。     

浅海宽带简正模相干/非相干能量比值特征匹配的源深估计

无源声源深度估计一直是水声领域的一个难题。针对浅海波导中低频宽带脉冲声源深度估计问题,提出了利用单水听器接收信号中多阶简正模相干项能量与非相干项能量比值的特征匹配处理方法,不仅消除了声源未知激发谱的影响,而且由于在预先估计声源距离基础上实现对声源深度的独立估计,运算量小。同时,由于利用了实测数据与拷贝声场中具有相同简正模贡献的相干能量特征进行匹配,参数估计具有较高的稳健性。首先通过向量线性相关数学理论,在理想波导条件下讨论了简正模数目与源深估计单值性的关系,证明了仅利用两阶简正模时源深估计具有多值性,而声场含有三阶以上简正模时源深估计存在唯一解。进一步的仿真分析表明,当信噪比高于0 dB时源深估计结果的平均误差整体上在5 m之内。分析了水文参数、沉积层声学参数及声源距离失配时方法的鲁棒性。最后,利用浅海垂直阵采集的低频宽带脉冲实验数据对方法进行验证,声源深度估计结果绝对误差小于5 m的概率在79.1%以上。方法可推广应用于浅海水平或垂直基阵对低频宽带声源的深度估计。

Guided plate wave scattering at vertical stiffeners and its effect on source location

This paper examines guided wave transmission characteristics of plate stiffeners and their influence on the performance of acoustic noise source location. The motivation for this work is the detection of air leaks in manned spacecraft. The leaking air is turbulent and generates noise that can be detected by a contact-coupled acoustic array to perform source location and find the air leak. Transmission characteristics of individual integral stiffeners are measured across a frequency range of 50-400 kHz for both high and low aspect-ratio rectangular stiffeners, and comparisons are made to model predictions which display generally good agreement. It is demonstrated that operating in frequency ranges of high plate wave stiffener transmission significantly improves the reliability of noise source location in the plate. A protocol is presented to enable the selection of an optimal frequency range for leak location.

Transmission of low-frequency sound through the water-to-air interface

L.M. Brekhovskikh revealed and studied the important role played by inhomogeneous waves emitted by a point source when they pass through an interface with a medium in which the velocity of sound is lower, for example, from water to air. This paper studies the energy characteristics of sound emitted into air by an underwater point source. The energy transfer due to inhomogeneous waves is shown to cause the phenomenon of anomalous transparency of the interface for low-frequency sound. The anomalous transparency manifests itself in that the energy flux through the interface increases with decreasing frequency of sound and, at sufficiently low frequencies, almost all of the acoustic energy produced by the underwater source is emitted into air. Conversely, at high frequencies, when the contribution of the inhomogeneous waves becomes negligible, the water-to-air interface is similar to a perfectly reflecting surface and almost all of the acoustic energy produced by the source is emitted into water. The anomalous transparency phenomenon changes the conventional opinion on the possibility of acoustic coupling between points in water and air and on the role played by physical processes evolving in the water column in generating atmospheric acoustic noise.     

Low frequency acoustic signals associated with rock falls,thunderstorms, and wind turbulences in field environment

This paper characterized the observed low frequency acoustic signals generated by rock falls, thunderstorm, and wind turbulence in large rocky landslide. A digital infrasonic recording system was deployed on site to capture real-time low frequency acoustic signals associated with rock falls. An advanced non-stationary signal analysis method, i.e. Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), was applied to get insight to the characteristics of the low frequency acoustic signals induced by the hazards. Joint time–frequency distribution spectra technique was used to detect distinctive features of the events. The study shows that the low frequency acoustic signals can be excited by rock falls, thunderstorm and wind turbulence in the field environment, but the signal varies in both time domain and frequency domain with different patterns depending on the physical processes. The results demonstrated that the EMD-based signal processing technique is capable of extracting distinctive features to differentiate acoustic signals in real environment.     

Analysis of acoustic emission signals originating from bainite and martensite formation

In this paper the characteristics of acoustic signals generated during bainite and martensite formation are studied. The results are discussed in a semi-quantitative manner, since a thorough quantitative analysis of the signals is not feasible because of the limited frequency bandwidth of the system and the effect of internal sample reflections on the signal. The frequency spectra of acoustic emission signals are interpreted using a dislocation source model adopted from acoustic emission studies of plastic deformation. It is assumed that the predominant source of acoustic emission (AE) during displacive transformations is the movement of dislocations, i.e. the slip taking place during growth in order to relieve internal stresses. The results show that the mean frequency of AE signals generated during bainite formation is significantly larger than that of martensitic AE signals. This difference in the spectral density of the AE signals can be attributed to the difference in interface motion of the two transformations, and the consequent different behaviour of the dislocations involved.

Acoustic characteristics of a heavy duty vehicle cooling module

Studies dedicated to the determination of acoustic characteristics of an automotive cooling package are presented. A shrouded subsonic axial fan is mounted in a wall separating an anechoic- and a reverberation room. This enables a unique separation of the up- and downstream sound fields. Microphone measurements were acquired of the radiated sound as a function of rotational speed, fan type and components included in the cooling module. The aim of the present work is to investigate the effect of a closely mounted radiator upstream of the impeller on the SPL spectral distribution. Upon examination of the SPL spectral shape, features linked specifically to the source and system are revealed. The properties of a reverberant sound field combined with the method of spectral decomposition permit an estimation of the source spectral distribution and the acoustic transfer response, respectively. Additionally, purely intrinsic acoustic properties of the radiator are scrutinized by standardized ISO methods. A new methodology comprising a dipole sound source is adopted to circumvent limitation of transmission loss measurement in the low frequency range. The sound attenuation caused by the radiator alone was found to be negligible.
