Development Of Data Analytics Tools For Acoustic Measurement Of Positive Displacement Machines, Dan Ding, Monika Ivantysynova, Paul Kalbfleisch

The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Symposium

Noise control is an important factor in evaluating the design of positive displacement machines. This research project aims to develop new tools in MATLAB, with emphasis on visual approaches, to comprehensively characterize the noise generated by positive displacement machines in spatial, temporal and frequency domains. Sound pressure level (SPL), sound intensity level (SIL) and loudness were calculated and plotted on a measurement surface surrounding the pump, which illustrates the spatial distribution of the sound field. In order to highlight the phenomenon within specific frequency bands, Butterworth filters were used to isolate desired frequencies, such that specific harmonic content or 1/3 …


The Effect Of Honeycomb Cavity: Acoustic Performance Of A Double-Leaf Micro Perforated Panel, Yuxian Huang, Kai Ming Li Aug 2016

The Effect Of Honeycomb Cavity: Acoustic Performance Of A Double-Leaf Micro Perforated Panel, Yuxian Huang, Kai Ming Li

The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Symposium

A micro perforated panel (MPP) is a device consisting of a thin plate and submillimeter perforations for reducing low frequency noise. MPPs have many advantages compared to traditional sound absorption materials, such as durability and designability, and they can be used in a variety of places such as room interior designs, passenger and crew compartments of aircrafts and combustion engines. The models in this study were designed and fabricated with the latest 3-D printing technology. The transmission loss and sound absorption coefficient of the 3-D printed double-leaf MPPs with honeycomb cavities were studied. According to the established theory, MPPs work …
