Acoustics and Vibrations

Acoustical Analysis of a Home Recording Studio

K. Anderson[1], A. Smith[1], D. Forgette[1]
[1]Mechanical Engineering, California State Polytechnic University at Pomona, Nonlinear FEM/CFD Multiphysics Simulation Lab, Pomona, CA, USA

In this poster the acoustic analysis of a small home recording studio is presented.. Figure 1 illustrates the recording studio room which was simulated using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software with the Acoustics Module [1]. The propagation of sound is modeled as pressure waves in which ... Read More

Acoustic-Structure Interaction Simulation of a Differential Phase Sensor

J. H. Lee[1]
[1]Department of Mechanical Engineering, American University of Sharjah, Sharjah, UAE

The idea of application as a hearing device based on a parasitoid fly, Ormia ochracea has been studied extensively recently. This paper addresses another possible application as an underwater directional sensor. In order to study the feasibility of the application, it is necessary to ... Read More

Modal Analysis of Functionally-Graded Metal-Ceramic Composite Plates

E. Gutierrez-Miravete[1], W. L. Saunders II[2], K. Pendley[3]
[1]Rensselaer at Hartford, Hartford, CT, USA
[2]General Dynamics Electric Boat, Groton, CT, USA
[3]United Technologies - Pratt & Whitney, East Hartford, CT, USA

The determination of the modes of vibration of Functionally Graded-Metal-Ceramic Composite plates is important in practice in order to prevent undesired resonances in structural components. This paper describes the application of COMSOL Multiphysics® software for the determination of the ... Read More

Acoustic and Flow Analysis to Reduce Boiler Hum

Th. B. J. Campmans[1],
[1]LBPSIGHT, Nieuwegein, The Netherlands

A installation caused severe hum, with 30 Hz as dominant frequency, causing serious annoyance. The acoustic study showed resonances around 30 Hz. Poor flow conditions existed at the inlet and outlet of the forced draft fan. Flow patterns were studied using CFD. Both the inlet and ... Read More

Simple Disk Piezo Transformer Based Oscillator

J. P. Sandoz[1], J. M. Kissling[1]
[1]Institute of Applied Microtechnology, La Chaux-de-Fonds, HE‐ARC, Switzerland

In this contribution we present a COMSOL Multiphysics® example of a disk piezoelectric ceramic transformer (D-PT) coupled with a bipolar NPN transistor to form an auto-oscillator. The comparison between the simulations and the measurements made on our prototype are found to be in good ... Read More

3D Acoustic Streaming Field in High-Intensity Discharge Lamps

B. Baumann[1], J. Schwieger[1], M. Wolff[1], F. Manders[2], J. Suijker[2]
[1]Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Hamburg, Germany
[2]Philips Lighting, Turnhout, Belgium

High-intensity discharge lamps will in the foreseeable future be important light sources despite a growing market share of LEDs. Cost and energy efficient high frequency (300 kHz) operation is hampered by the excitation of acoustic resonances inside the arc tube, which results in low ... Read More

Numerical Study on Shear Horizontal Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducers for Generation of Ultrasonic Guided Waves for Absorber Tubes used in Concentrated Solar Plants

L. Cheng[1], A. Mohimi[1], M. Kogia[1], V. Kappatos[1], C. Selcuk[1], T.-H. Gan[1]
[1]Brunel Innovation Centre, Brunel University, Uxbridge, UK

Absorber tubes are one of the most critical components of parabolic trough Concentrated Solar Plants, which is very likely get damaged such as crack and mass loss. Therefore, the monitoring of their structural health via Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) techniques is regarded as essential ... Read More

Acoustic Wave Propagation in Water Filled Buried Polyethylene Pipes

T. Graf[1], T. Gisler[1], P. Sollberger[1], O. Schaelli[1]
[1]School of Engineering and Architecture, Lucerne University, Horw, Switzerland

Axisymmetric acoustic waves propagating along buried water pipes have been investigated by FEM and experimentally. Universal dispersion relations of the fundamental mode were obtained as a function of the standard dimension ratio SDR and of the material surrounding the pipe (soil, air). ... Read More

Modeling of Noise Produced by Offshore Wind Turbines with Different Foundations and Effects on the Marine Environment

B. Marmo [1], I. Roberts [1]
[1]Xi Engineering Consultants, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK

Vibration produced by offshore wind turbines during their normal operation transmits through the tower into the foundation where it interacts with the surrounding water and is released as noise. The noise produced by offshore wind turbines can be detected by fish and marine mammals and ... Read More

Sound Field Analysis of Monumental Structures by the Application of Diffusion Equation Model

Z. S. Gul[1], N. Xiang[2], M. Caliskan[3]
[1]Department of Architecture, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey
[2]School of Architecture, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA
[3]Department of Mechanical Engineering, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey

Sound energy distribution patterns within enclosed spaces are the basic concerns of architectural acoustics. Energy decays are analyzed for major acoustical parameter estimations, while spatial energy distribution and flow vectors are indicative in the analysis of sound energy ... Read More
