An efficient broadband coupled-mode model using the Hamiltonian method for modal solutions

A numerically efficient broadband, range-dependent propagation model is proposed, which incorporates the Hamiltonian method into the coupled-mode model DGMCM. The Hamiltonian method is highly efficient for finding broadband eigenvalues, and DGMCM is an accurate model for range-dependent propagation in the frequency domain. Consequently, the proposed broadband model combining the Hamiltonian method and DGMCM has significant virtue in terms of both efficiency and accuracy. Numerical simulations are also provided. The numerical results indicate that the proposed model has a better performance over the broadband model using the Fourier synthesis and COUPLE, while retaining the same level of accuracy.     

A modal separation measurement technique for broadband noise propagating inside circular ducts

A measurement technique which separates broadband noise propagating inside circular ducts into the acoustic duct modes is developed. The technique is also applicable to discrete frequency noise. The acoustic modes are produced by weighted combinations of the instantaneous outputs of microphones spaced around the duct circumference. The technique is compared with the cross spectral density approach presently available and found to have certain advantages, and disadvantages. Considerable simplification of both the new technique and the cross spectral density approach occurs when no correlation exists between different circumferential mode orders. The properties leading to uncorrelated modes and experimental tests which verify this condition are discussed. The modal measurement technique-is applied to the case of broadband noise generated by flow through a coaxial obstruction (nozzle or orifice) in a pipe. Different circumferential mode orders are shown to be uncorrelated for this type of noise source.     

The padé approximant method for finding the Hilbert-Schmidt eigenvalues and eigenfunctions in two- and three-body problems

An approach is proposed which makes it possible to obtain the Hilbert-Schmidt (or Sturm-Liouville) eigenvalue and eigenfunctions for two- or three-body systems over the entire domain of analyticity of these functions in energy on the basis of calculations of bound states only. It is shown how this method may be used to find the two- and three-body resonances and the near-threshold states.     

A complete method for efficient fuzzy modal analysis

The objective of this paper is to determine both the fuzzy eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a finite element model defined with fuzzy parameters. The proposed method introduces the concepts of mode shape pairing and the functional dependence of eigensolutions with respect to design parameters. High-order approximations are then introduced to limit the computational cost associated with variability management. Numerical test cases are used to highlight the abilities of this method to predict behaviour modifications due to variations in the physical parameters.     

A method for modal identification of lightly damped structures

In many cases modal tests are conducted on individual components of complex engineering structures where interest is confined to deriving an undamped model of the structure. A method is proposed for this task which demands a minimum of input data and which, in particular, does not require accurate measurements around resonance. The method is simple to program and its application to various practical structures is described.     

A modal method for finite amplitude, nonlinear sloshing

A modal method is used to calculate the two-dimensional sloshing motion of an inviscid liquid in a rectangular container. The full nonlinear problem is reduced to the solution of a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations for the time varying coefficients in the expansions of the interface and the potential. The effects of capillarity are included in the formulation. The simplicity, generality and power of the method are exhibited not only by recovering the earlier results obtained, for example, by Penney and Price [1], Tadjbakhsh and Keller [2] and Faltinsen et al [3], but also by obtaining new and interesting results of the effects of capillarity and shallow depth, which would be difficult to obtain otherwise. For example, it is found that for the initial interface profile considered here, parasitic capillary waves, borne by the higher number wave modes, are generated for moderate capillarity but disappear for larger values of the parameter. The method can be extended to other simple geometries.

A new method for finding cycles by semilinear control

In the paper two new results that prove typically real and local univalent properties of certain class of rational functions in the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ are presented. They provide a theoretical justification of a new method for finding periodic solutions of the discrete vector dynamical systems. The main goal of the paper is to propose and investigate the two-delays generalization of the scheme introduced by Ö. Morgül. The analysis shows that the coefficients in the proposed method can be chosen in a way that improves the admissible range of parameters. The method is elementary and easy to implement. Furthermore, numerical experiments with several well known maps show effectiveness of the control scheme.     

A frequency domain numerical method for airfoil broadband self-noise prediction

This paper describes a numerical approach, based in the frequency domain, for predicting the broadband self-noise radiation due to an airfoil situated in a smooth mean flow. Noise is generated by the interaction between the boundary layer turbulence on the airfoil surface and the airfoil trailing edge. Thin airfoil theory is used to deduce the unsteady blade loading. In this paper, the important difference with much of the previous work dealing with trailing edge noise is that the integration of the surface sources for computation of the radiated sound field is evaluated on the actual airfoil surface rather than in the mean-chord plane. The assumption of flat plate geometry in the calculation of radiation is therefore avoided. Moreover, the solution is valid in both near and far fields and reduces to the analytic solution due to Amiet when the airfoil collapses to a flat plate with large span, and the measurement point is taken to the far field.Predictions of the airfoil broadband self-noise radiation presented here are shown to be in reasonable agreement with the predictions obtained using the Brooks approach, which are based on a comprehensive database of experimental data. Also investigated in this paper is the effect on the broadband noise prediction of relaxing the ‘frozen-gust’ assumption, whereby the turbulence at each frequency comprises a continuous spectrum of streamwise wavenumber components. It is shown that making the frozen gust assumption yields an under-prediction of the noise spectrum by approximately 2dB compared with that obtained when this assumption is relaxed, with the largest occurring at high frequencies.This paper concludes with a comparison of the broadband noise directivity for a flat-plat, a NACA 0012 and a NACA 0024 airfoil at non-zero angle of attack. Differences of up to 20 dB are predicted, with the largest difference occurring at a radiation angle of zero degrees relative to the airfoil mean centre line.     

Nearfield broadband array design using a radially invariant modal expansion

This paper introduces an efficient parameterization for the nearfield broadband beamforming problem with a single parameter to focus the beamformer to a desired operating radius and another set of parameters to control the actual broadband beampattern shape. The parameterization is based on an orthogonal basis set of elementary beampatterns by which an arbitrary beampattern can be constructed. A set of elementary beamformers are then designed for each elementary beampattern and the desired beamformer is constructed by summing the elementary beamformers with frequency and source-array distance dependent weights. An important consequence of our result is that the beamformer can be factored into three levels of filtering: (i) beampattern independent elementary beamformers; (ii) beampattern shape dependent filters; and (iii) radial focusing filters where a single parameter can be adjusted to focus the array to a desired radial distance from the array origin. As an illustration the method is applied to the problem of producing a practical array design that achieves a frequency invariant beampattern over the frequency range of 1:10 (which is suitable for speech acquisition using a microphone array), and with the array focused either to farfield or nearfield where at the lowest frequency the radial distance to the source is only three wavelengths.

A Rayleigh–Chebyshev procedure for finding the smallest eigenvalues and associated eigenvectors of large sparse Hermitian matrices

A procedure is presented for finding a number of the smallest eigenvalues and their associated eigenvectors of large sparse Hermitian matrices. The procedure, a modification of an inverse subspace iteration procedure, uses adaptively determined Chebyshev polynomials to approximate the required application of the inverse operator on the subspace. The method is robust, converges with acceptable rapidity, and can easily handle operators with eigenvalues of multiplicity greater than one. Numerical results are shown that demonstrate the utility of the procedure.

A hybrid method of modal synthesis using vibration tests

The assembly of structures along continuous boundaries presents great difficulty in the context of modal synthesis. In order to solve such problems, a method is proposed in which a hybrid model is defined reflecting the dynamic behavior of a structure loaded along a boundary. It is based on Weinstein's method and corresponds to a generalization of the impedance matrix method. Generalized boundary co-ordinates are defined from branch modes obtained by introducing mass loading along the boundary. Thus, the hybrid model can be derived from testing as a result of two independent modal identifications. The method permits high precision prediction of the influence of strong structural modifications. Thus, in the case of rectangular plates, it has been possible to find the modes of a cantilever plate and of a plate with stiffeners from the free modes.

This paper introduces a novel symplectic wavelet collocation method for solving nonlinear Hamiltonian wave equations. Based on the autocorrelation functions of Daubechies compactly supported scaling functions, collocation method is conducted for the spatial discretization, which leads to a finite-dimensional Hamiltonian system. Then, appropriate symplectic scheme is employed for the integration of the Hamiltonian system. Under the hypothesis of periodicity, the properties of the resulted space differentiation matrix are analyzed in detail. Conservation of energy and momentum is also investigated. Various numerical experiments show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
