Abstract This study proposes an input decoupling analysis method based on the pulse test and the traditional operational transfer path analysis (OTPA) method for the OTPA transmission path analysis when the input is strongly coupled, and the algorithm is verified for analysis optimization of results. An experimental model of the dual excitation source is established in the laboratory. Experimental comparison studies show that the OTPA method, which is based on signal decoupling, inhibits the influence of cross-coupling among the source signals during OTPA analysis and effectively improves the accuracy of the transmission path test and analysis. The OTPA method is applied to analyze the transfer path of the vibration and noise of the carriages of the electric multiple unit (EMU) train (a high-speed train in China). The false peak frequency in the traditional OTPA method is eliminated, and the accuracy of the analysis is improved.

Owing to the continuous development of the automobile industry, increasingly stringent performance requirements for noise, vibration, and harshness of automobiles are being presented. Interior noise control in high-speed vehicles has not been adequately addressed, owing to the complex mechanism of noise generation. As simulations performed previously focused on vehicle wind noise and tyre noise cannot adequately predict the effect on passenger ear-side noise, these issues are investigated in this study. Their effects on passengers are investigated using transfer path analysis. An anti-noise operational transfer path analysis is proposed to study noise generated in high-speed vehicles. The established anti-noise operational transfer path analysis model can eliminate crosstalks between noise source signals of different transmission paths. The model is validated by comparing the measured and calculated values of the anti-noise operational transfer path analysis model. The coherence of the input noise signal and the ear-side noise signal of the passenger is assessed using coherence analysis. By calculating and categorising the contributions of different noise sources in different locations and types, the main noise sources affecting passenger comfort are determined. The result indicates that the main noise sources affecting the passenger’s ear-side noise change from engine noise to left-A wind noise and tyre radiation noise with increasing vehicle speed, in which the proportion also increase. The proposed anti-noise operational transfer path analysis is suitable for the interior-noise analysis of high-speed vehicles, and this study may serve as a reference for future studies regarding active and passive noise control in high-speed vehicles.

AbstractPassengers' demands for riding comfort have been getting higher and higher as the high-speed railway develops. Scientific methods to analyze the interior noise of the high-speed train are needed and the operational transfer path analysis (OTPA) method provides a theoretical basis and guidance for the noise control of the train and overcomes the shortcomings of the traditional method, which has high test efficiency and can be carried out during the working state of the targeted machine. The OTPA model is established from the aspects of "path reference point-target point" and "sound source reference point-target point". As for the mechanism of the noise transmission path, an assumption is made that the direct sound propagation is ignored, and the symmetric sound source and the symmetric path are merged. Using the operational test data and the OTPA method, combined with the results of spherical array sound source identification, the path contribution and sound source contribution of the interior noise are analyzed, respectively, from aspects of the total value and spectrum. The results show that the OTPA conforms to the calculation results of the spherical array sound source identification. At low speed, the contribution of the floor path and the contribution of the bogie sources are dominant. When the speed is greater than 300 km/h, the contribution of the roof path is dominant. Moreover, for the carriage with a pantograph, the lifted pantograph is an obvious source. The noise from the exterior sources of the train transfer into the interior mainly through the form of structural excitation, and the contribution of air excitation is non-significant. Certain analyses of train parts provide guides for the interior noise control.

AbstractThe aim of a transfer path analysis (TPA) is to view the transmission of vibrations in a mechanical system from the point of excitation over interface points to a reference point. For that matter, the Frequency Response Functions (FRF) of a system or the Transmissibility Matrix is determined and examined in conjunction with the interface forces at the transfer path. This paper will cover the application of an operational TPA for a wind turbine model. In doing so the path contribution of relevant transfer paths are made visible and can be optimized individually.
