FEM Analysis on Acoustic Performance of Wall Flow Diesel Particulate Filters

Diesel powered vehicles, in compliance with the more strict exhaust emission standards such as Euro V, is likely to require a diesel particulate filter （DPF）. A DPF used on a vehicle will affect the acoustic emission of the diesel engine, so it is important to investigate the sound propagation rule in DPF and further to propose the optimum DPF design. However, due to the geometrical complexity of the DPF, the traditional analysis method, such as analytical method, can not assess the acoustic performance of DPF accurately in medium and high frequency band. In this paper, a combined approach of finite element analysis and viscosity correction is proposed to predict acoustic performance of DPF. A simplified model of the full DPF is established and is used to analyze the sound propagation characteristic of the DPF. The distribution of the sound pressure and velocity, the transmission matrix of the DPF are obtained using the finite element method. In addition, the method of the viscosity correction is used in the transmission matrix of the DPF to evaluate the acoustic performance of DPF. Based on the FEM computation and the viscosity correction, the transmission losses under the rated load and idle condition of a diesel engine are calculated. The calculation results show that DPF can effectively attenuate exhaust noise, and sound attenuation increase with the rise of the frequency. Sound attenuation is better under rated condition than idle condition of diesel engine, particularly in frequency above 1 000 Hz.

Numerical Simulation of the Aeroacoustic Performance of the DSA380 High-Speed Pantograph Under the Influence of a Crosswind

The object of research of this paper is the DSA380 high-speed pantograph.The near-field unsteady flow around the pantograph was investigated using large eddy simulation(LES)while the far-field aerodynamic noise was analysed in the frame of the Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings(FW-H)acoustic analogy.According to the results,the contact strip,base frame and knuckle are the main aerodynamic noise sources,with vortex shedding,flow separation and recombination around the pantograph being related key physical factors.The aerodynamic noise radiates outwards in the form of spherical waves when the distance of the noise receiving point is farther than 8 m.The sound pressure level(SPL)grows approximately as the 6th power of pantograph operating speed.The aerodynamic noise energy is mainly concentrated in the region of 400-1000 Hz,and the frequency band is wider with crosswind than without crosswind.The peak frequency displays a linear relationships with the operating speed and crosswind velocity,respectively.The aerodynamic and aeroacoustic generation from the knuckle-downstream orientation of the pantograph is superior to those of the knuckle-upstream orientation model.This finding may be used for the optimal design of future pantograph configurations in the presence of crosswind.

Time-domain CFD computation and analysis of acoustic attenuation performance of water-filled silencers

The multi-dimensional time-domain computational fluid dynamics(CFD) approach is extended to calculate the acoustic attenuation performance of water-filled piping silencers. Transmission loss predictions from the time-domain CFD approach and the frequency-domain finite element method(FEM) agree well with each other for the dual expansion chamber silencer, straight-through and cross-flow perforated tube silencers without flow. Then, the time-domain CFD approach is used to investigate the effect of flow on the acoustic attenuation characteristics of perforated tube silencers. The numerical predictions demonstrate that the mean flow increases the transmission loss, especially at higher frequencies, and shifts the transmission loss curve to lower frequencies.

The modern transportation system is increasingly developed during recent years.It is an effective solution to set the noise barriers to reduce the traffic noise pollution caused by different kinds of transportation systems.Many deficiencies on concrete noise barriers and metal noise barriers with rivet structure can be eliminated by a new kind of noise barrier with no-riveted structure.The mechanical performance examination and acoustic performance test are conducted on the new-designed noise barrier with no-riveted structure.The results indicate that the maximum stress is 1.74 MPa and the maximum deformation is 1.04 mm with load acting on the unit plate.The noise reduction coefficient of this kind of no-riveted noise barrier unit plate is 0.75 and its noise insulation is 40 dB,which were conform to or superior to the standard requirements.Therefore,this new designed noise barrier meets the field application requirements of mechanical and acoustic performance,which demonstrates the noise barriers can be widely promoted.

Oxidation Modification of Polyacrylonitrile-Based Carbon Fiber and Its Electro-Chemical Performance as Marine Electrode for Electric Field Test

A novel sensor for ocean electric field testing has been fabricated by polyacrylonitrile-based on carbon fibers with electro-chemical oxidation.The surface profile characteristics of the carbon fibers were characterized by scanning electron microscope,Fourier transform infrared spectra and contact angle.Cyclic voltammetry and Tafel curves have been used to study its electro-chemical performances.Two identical electrodes in sea water as the electric field sensor will swiftly respond to applied electric field which causes positive and negative ions to move in opposite direction,resulting in a electric potential difference(ΔE).Test result indicates that the offset potential is typically below 1 m V with a drift of 60-170μVd^-1.Typical self noise level is 1.07 nV√Hz^(1/2)@1 Hz.The electric field response indicates that the modified electrode pair shows better response to AC sine signal of amplitude and frequency(5 mV and 1 mHz)respectively than its blank.The electric field response model of the modified electrodes is creatively presented according to its electric double layer capacitance and Faraday pseudo-capacitance.Many advantages of the carbon fiber electric field electrode will make it have potential application prospect.

The effect of the configuration of a single electrode corona discharge on its acoustic characteristics

A new sparker system based on pulsed spark discharge with a single electrode has already been utilized for oceanic seismic exploration. However, the electro-acoustic energy efficiency of this system is lower than that of arc discharge based systems. A simple electrode structure was investigated in order to improve the electro-acoustic energy efficiency of the spark discharge. Experiments were carried out on an experimental setup with discharge in water driven by a pulsed power source. The voltage-current waveform, acoustic signal and bubble oscillation were recorded when the relative position of the electrode varied. The electro-acoustic energy , efficiency was also calculated. The load voltage had a saltation for the invaginated electrode tip, namely an obvious voltage remnant. The more the electrode tip was invaginated, the larger the pressure peaks and first period became. The results show that electrode recessing into the insulating layer is a simple and effective way to improve the electro-acoustic energy efficiency from 2% to about 4%.

Experimental study of ultralong wave band for electro－magnetic signals and acoustic emission during rock fracture

The electro-magnetic (EM) and acoustic emission (AE) in the fracture process of both dry and wet rock samples including gabbro, granite, sandstone and marble are studied in the experiment in the laboratory under uniaxial pressure. Signals during the test are detected in ultralow frequency band. The experimental results may be outlined as follows: original waveforms of the electro-magnetic radiation (EMR) and AE in the range of 0-20 kHz frequencies are obtained; the EMR's intensity in fracture process is related to some factors as rock type, content of water, fracture intensity of rocks, loading rates and fracture state etc.; the EMR'S rate is proportional to that of AE during fracture statistically. About 70% of maximum values of EMR rate and AE rate are corresponded with each other; furthermore, the EM signals (EMS) are generally more developed and longer duration than AE signals; the principal energy of EMS detected by copper coin antenna as sensor in power spectra are distributed in frequencies lower than 6 kHz and otherwise those detected by EMinduction coil are at about 10 kHz, and in contrast the major energies of AE are in frequencies less than3 kHz; another notable phenomenon is that distinct electro-magnetic signals are detected before AE occurrence. Since EMR and AE signals obtained in the process of rock fracture are better corresponded to eachother, therefore it'S reasonable to propose that the EMR anormalies observed prior to some earthquakes aremainly produced by fractures of rock in source region, as for the EMS occurred before AE may be related topiezoelectric and piezomagnetic effects.

Ru effect on the catalytic performance of Pd@Ru/C catalysts for methanol electro-oxidation

Pd@Ru bimetallic nanoparticles deposited on carbon black electro-catalysts have been fabricated by microwave-assisted polyol reduction method and investigated for methanol electro-oxidation （MEO）. The structure and electro-catalytic properties of the as-prepared catalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM and cyclic voltammetry （CV） techniques. The results showed that the introduction of Ru element （2-10 wt%） into Pd 20 wt%/C （hereafter, denoted as Pd/C） produced a series of core-shell structured binary catalysts. Pd@Ru 5 wt%/C （hereafter, denoted as Pd@Rus/C） catalyst displayed the highest catalytic activity towards MEO. And the mass activity of Pd@Ru5/C electrode catalyst at E = -0.038 V （vs. Hg/HgO） was 1.42 times higher than that of Pd/C electrode catalyst. In addition, the relationship between the catalytic stability for MEO on Pd@Ru/C catalysts and the value of dbp/dfp （the ratio of MEO peak current density in the negative scan and positive scan） were also investigated. The result demonstrated that Pd@Rus/C offering the smallest value of Jbp/Jfp displayed the best stable catalytic performance.

Multi-Objective Prediction and Optimization of Vehicle Acoustic Package Based on ResNet Neural Network

Vehicle interior noise has emerged as a crucial assessment criterion for automotive NVH(Noise,Vibration,and Harshness).When analyzing the NVH performance of the vehicle body,the traditional SEA(Statistical Energy Analysis)simulation technology is usually limited by the accuracy of the material parameters obtained during the acoustic package modeling and the limitations of the application conditions.In order to effectively solve these shortcomings,based on the analysis of the vehicle noise transmission path,a multi-level objective decomposition architecture of the interior noise at the driver’s right ear is established.Combined with the data-driven method,the ResNet neural network model is introduced.The stacked residual blocks avoid the problem of gradient dis-appearance caused by the increasing network level of the traditional CNN network,thus establishing a higher-precision prediction model.This method alleviates the inherent limitations of traditional SEA simulation design,and enhances the prediction performance of the ResNet model by dynamically adjusting the learning rate.Finally,the proposed method is applied to a specific vehicle model and verified.The results show that the proposed meth-od has significant advantages in prediction accuracy and robustness.
