Abstract [en]

In noise abatement using porous or fibrous materials, accurate determination of the surface impedance representing the absorber is decisive for simulation quality. The presence of grazing flow and non-homogeneous ambient temperature influence the reaction of the absorber and may suitably be included in a modified “effective” surface impedance. In this paper, this approach is applied to a generic case representative for the engine bay of a heavy truck, where porous shields suppress the radiated noise, e.g. during a pass-by noise test. The change in the absorption is determined numerically by solving the wave propagation through a layer of varying temperature and flow adjacent to the impedance surface for different angles of incidence. The study shows significant impact of both flow and temperature, especially for materials with low absorption. The diffuse field absorption coefficient is also derived and although the effect is less pronounced in this case, it is still important in lower frequencies and in the frequency range typical for IC engine noise. The proposed numerical method is shown to be accurate and efficient for determination of the effective impedance and moreover not limited to thin boundary layers.

Abstract [en]

In this paper we study the achievement of contextual ambidexterity at the individual level, i.e. the micro-level. We explore how employees in four different teams in an automotive company use different strategies to prioritise time between, on the one hand exploration such as pre-development activities and research and, on the other hand exploitation such as realising set concepts in the later phases of the product development process. Based on our findings we argue that the status of exploratory activities must be elevated to equal levels with exploitation activities if ambidexterity is to achieved without using separation as the main strategy. We propose that clear goal setting, stricter follow-up of exploratory activities, and high levels of endurance among managers in change initiatives are ways to achieve a contextually ambidextrous organisation.

Abstract [en]

The most common noise reducing measure is to add sound absorbing material on the domain boundaries. The boundaries covered by the material may in sumilations be represented by the surface impedance of the material. The impedance can either be modeled or determined experimentally. The experimental determination can be done by the well known standing wave tube method or by a free field method. These free field methods enable impedance determination at any angle of incidence for bulk reacting materials, as opposed to the standing wave tube method that is restricted to normal incidence or locally reacting materials. The method prescribes a point source above the surface and measurements in two points close to the sample surface. From this, the surface impedance can be deduced through the known sound field formulation. Among other things, the impact on the accuracy of the method from the field formulation, signal conditioning and sensor type have been studied in previous work. One major concern is the finite size of the material sample, and its influence on the measurement accuracy. This has previously been investigated for highly absorbing materials and it was shown to be a low frequency problem. Therefore, we focus on the impact of the finite sample in frequencies below 2 kHz. In particular, we relate the magnitude of the impact to the properties of the tested material. Also, the influence of the mounting of the material is analyzed. The study is made through analyzing numerical simulations of the experiment for a variety of setups and materials. Theoretical discussion is provided for deeper understanding of the results. The impact of the finite sample is seen to depend on the material properties, not only the setup as previously shown. Materials with high absorption are shown to be more sensitive to these errors.

Abstract [en]

This paper presents an analytical wave decomposition model for predicting the transmission loss a cylindrical silencer with both annular and baffled micro-perforated screens. Numerical simulation shows the fundamental characteristics as well as the potential to achieve large attenuation using micro-perforations. The numerical model is verified by measurements using the 2-microphone technique and shown to be a useful tool in practical design. Clear from the analysis is the sensitivity of the micro-perforated silencer to changes in both porosity and overall layout.

Abstract [en]

In vehicle applications, absorbing materials are often used to attenuate sound. In, for example, exhaust systems and on noise encapsulations, the absorber is exposed to flow. This creates a boundary layer above the absorber, which affects the impedance of the surface, and hence alters the absorption properties. In addition to this effect, the flow itself may enter the absorbent material due to high pressure and forced flow paths. An investigation of the effects that internal flow in the absorber imposes on the acoustic properties is presented. One way to describe the effect is by a change in flow resistivity. The effect is investigated for typical absorbers used in noise encapsulations for trucks. The Transfer Matrix Method is applied to calculate the resulting absorption coefficient for an absorber with changed flow resistivity due to internal flow. The possibility to model the changed properties of the absorber with internal mean flow by means of Biot theory is also explored, together with a discussion on suitable experimental methods to verify and further investigate the effects.

Abstract [en]

Noise encapsulations are widely used in automotive industry to enclose noise sources, such as e.g. the engine or the gearbox, to reduce externally radiated noise. The sound absorption factor of the material on the inside of the noise encapsulation is obviously vital for the sound attenuation. This parameter is in most cases determined experimentally for which there are several methods. The results received from the various methods may vary as different acoustic states are examined and thus influence the choice of method. The absorption factor is crucial since it is used in specifications to material manufacturers as well as being an input parameter in modeling the performance of the noise shield e.g. during a pass-by noise test.

In this paper, two standardized measurement methods along with a third, non-standardized method, are applied to determine the properties of an absorbing material used in a commercial noise encapsulation. The methods are based on normal-, random- and oblique incident sound waves. The first and the last methods are based on measuring the acoustic impedance from which the absorption can be calculated while the random incidence method measures the absorption directly. The results retrieved from the three methods are compared and discussed in the light of the differences between them. This paper clarifies the differences and gives a practical guidance for the choice of measurement method and the use of the different absorption factors in modeling.

Abstract [en]

Sound absorbing materials are used in many applications to reduce sound, and their soundabsorbing characteristics are most often determined experimentally since theoreticaldetermination is difficult. Sound absorption factors are used in material specifications aswell as input to numerical simulations.Several methods for experimental determination of the absorption factor exist, two of themstandardized and frequently used. It is commonly known that the absorption factorobtained by these two methods differs as different sound fields are prescribed by thestandards. However, the size of the differences has not been so well described. Due to thisdifference, the choice of method is critical in order to avoid errors in simulations andspecifications of material properties.Experimental determination of absorption factors for three commonly used absorbers wasperformed, resulting in significant differences between the two methods. Correction factorsto compensate the absorption factor determined at one acoustic state and used in anotherare given. Theory verifying the differences is also presented.
