Objective and subjective evaluations of the multi-channel auralization technique as applied to solo instruments

Auralizations are commonly used today by architectural acousticians as a tool to model acoustically sensitive spaces. This paper presents investigations employing an auralization methodology known as multi-channel auralizations, to determine the benefits of using an increasing number of channels in such auralizations. First an objective evaluation was conducted to examine how acoustic parameters, such as reverberation time, vary when using “quadrant” (one fourth of a spherical source) or “thirteenth” sources to create the binaural room impulse responses. Large differences in the values were found between the different sections of the sphere, on the order of several just noticeable differences. Two subjective studies were then pursued, first to determine if auralizations made with an increasing number of channels sound more realistic and have an increased perceived source size, using solo musical instruments of varying directivity indices as the sources. Overall, subjects perceived the auralizations made with an increasing number of channels as more realistic, whereas results for perceived source size are less clear. The second subjective study assessed the ease with which subjects could identify the source orientation from the auralizations as a function of number of channels. Results indicate that more channels made it easier for subjects to differentiate between source orientations.

该文旨在研究损伤位置和程度对自由阻尼加筋层合板声辐射功率和指向性的影响。基于Mindlin和Timoshenko梁理论,建立了自由阻尼层合板-梁组合结构有限元模型。数值求解四边简支边界条件自由阻尼加筋层合板振动响应,继而通过Rayleigh积分计算加筋层合板辐射声功率和指向性。将计算得到的前4阶模态固有频率、声辐射功率与指向性与已有文献进行了对比基本一致,验证了数值模型的正确性。最后,详细讨论了损伤位置和程度对自由阻尼加筋层合板固有频率、振型、声辐射功率和指向性的影响,结果表明：随着结构损伤程度的增大,声辐射功率峰值向低频移动,在更多角度上出现明显的指向性;声辐射功率和指向性对损伤位置比损伤程度更加敏感。     

Non-contact optical fibre phased array generation of ultrasound for non-destructive evaluation of materials and processes

The use of non-contact laser techniques for the generation of ultrasound has extended the limits of the application of traditional ultrasonic techniques. This paper focusses on the use of one such non-contact laser technique, known as ‘optical fibre array’, to generate shear and surface waves. The shear wave experimental directivity pattern results are presented and compared with the theoretical results of a single source and an array source. The experimental directivity results for the surface wave are also presented, and compared with the theoretical results. The data show that the array enhances signal generation in the forward direction for both shear and surface waves. The array gain is also discussed. The receiver for the directivity measurements was a contact piezoelectric transducer.

Design of an ultrasonic sensor for measuring distance and detecting obstacles

This paper introduces a novel method for designing the transducer of a highly directional ultrasonic range sensor for detecting obstacles in mobile robot applications. The transducer consists of wave generation, amplification, and radiation sections, and a countermass. The operating principle of this design is based on the parametric array method where the frequency difference between two ultrasonic waves is used to generate a highly directional low-frequency wave with a small aperture. The aim of this study was to design an optimal transducer to generate the two simultaneous longitudinal modes efficiently. We first derived an appropriate mathematical model by combining the continuum model of a bar and countermass with the compatibility condition between a piezoelectric actuator and a linear horn. Then we determined the optimal length of the aluminum horn and the piezoelectric actuator using a finite element method. The proposed sensor exhibited a half-power bandwidth of less than ±1.3° at 44.8 kHz, a much higher directivity than existing conventional ultrasonic range sensors.     

Speech enhancement using linearly constrained adaptive constant directivity beam-formers

This paper aims to extend previous work on constant directivity beam-formers (CDBs), for the case of multiple desired speech sources, by designing a linearly constrained adaptive CDB (LCA-CDB) which preserves the beam-pattern in multiple look directions. Also, the proposed LCA-CDB, adaptively, minimizes the transient noise power in the output of the beam-former, and furthermore, produces some controlled nulls (controlled in both amplitude and angle) on the beam-pattern. This strengthens the system in removing permanent directional noises and producing a frequency-invariant beam-pattern with multiple main-lobes and controlled nulls in arbitrary frequency bands. Through simulating the system and the acoustical situations, the authors have tried to demonstrate the capability of the proposed method in enhancement of broadband and telephony speech in the presence of various noise sources (transient noise, permanent noise and uncorrelated white Gaussian noise). The simulation results obtained in this study confirm the efficiency of the proposed method in suppression of environmental noises.
