Phononic crystal is an artificial periodic structure in which elastic constants distribute periodically. In this paper, a two dimensional Bragg scattering phononic crystal was introduced into low-frequency noise reduction facility in the brake originally. Through the theoretical analysis by using Plane-wave Expansion Method to obtain the band diagram of a phononic crystal with holes periodically arranged in the 45 carbon steel plate and establishing the equivalent model in motion as the brake, we find an approximate bandgap between 0–5400Hz in the low-frequency range while the complete static bandgaps are distributed in the high-frequency range. It is believed that this kind of extremely low-frequency bandgap is due to the combination of the vibration of a single scatter and the interaction among scatters. In order to demonstrate the theory, contrastive experiment was taken. Noise spectrum diagram of the origin plate without holes was obtained in the first experiment. According to the equivalent model, the two dimensional air column/steel matrix phononic crystal structure in which filling rate was 40% was designed to apply in the test apparatus so that the frequency range (2050 to 2300Hz) of strong noise would be involved in this bandgap. Moreover, the noise in the whole frequency range (0–2550Hz) went down. This phenomenon proved that experiment result was coincident with theoretic consequence. The maximum decreasing amplitude of the noise reached as much as 25dB and the average decreasing amplitude was about 13dB from 2050 to 2300 Hz. In a word, this bandgap which is the combination effect of structure periodicity or the Mie scattering has an obvious extremely low-frequency characteristic in noise and vibration control in the brake.

Because of the position of the motor and the excitation of the suspension system, a wheel-driven electric bus produces low-frequency noise, which is difficult to resolve through traditional sound absorption and noise reduction technology. Through an interior noise test of a wheel-driven electric bus, we found that the interior low-frequency noise had a considerable influence on the driver. In order to solve this problem, a locally resonant phononic crystal was used to meet the requirements of vibration and noise reduction for the wheel-driven electric bus. The intrinsic relationship between the band gap distribution of the locally resonant phononic crystal and the topology was established by training a neural network, so as to achieve the desired effect of the bandgap model on the basis of the input bandgap range. Upon an increase in the number of models, the prediction model error decreased gradually. This method could quickly obtain the structural parameters of the locally resonant phononic crystal with the expected band gap, which made it convenient to apply locally resonant phononic crystals to the vibration and noise reduction of wheel-driven electric buses and in other fields.

The number of control cabins installed in industry has increased considerably during the last few years. Most cabins installed nowadays show a satisfactory noise reduction in the frequency range above 500 Hz. The effect of noise damping however shows a gradual decrease for lower frequencies. The present paper is a description of the distribution of low frequency noise in different types of control cabins installed in typical low frequency noise environments in steel plants and the machine building industry. Measurements were made in 20 control cabins, constructed of metal and stone Measurements of sound pressure levels in octave bands were made inside and outside the cabins. The sound pressure level in octave bands in the low frequency range (4–31.5 Hz) inside the cabins was high and varied between 60–108 dB. This is probably due to the insufficient noise reduction for lower frequencies. In some control cabins there was an increased level of low frequency noise inside the cabin compared to the outside. In these control cabins sound pressure levels exceed the admissible values according to Polish standards. The increase of noise level within the low frequency range is considered to be based on resonances.

AbstractIn view of the influence of variability of low-frequency noise frequency on noise prevention in real life, we present a novel two-dimensional tunable phononic crystal plate which is consisted of lead columns deposited in a silicone rubber plate with periodic holes and calculate its bandgap characteristics by finite element method. The low-frequency bandgap mechanism of the designed model is discussed simultaneously. Accordingly, the influence of geometric parameters of the phononic crystal plate on the bandgap characteristics is analyzed and the bandgap adjustability under prestretch strain is further studied. Results show that the new designed phononic crystal plate has lower bandgap starting frequency and wider bandwidth than the traditional single-sided structure, which is due to the coupling between the resonance mode of the scatterer and the long traveling wave in the matrix with the introduction of periodic holes. Applying prestretch strain to the matrix can realize active realtime control of low-frequency bandgap under slight deformation and broaden the low-frequency bandgap, which can be explained as the multiple bands tend to be flattened due to the localization degree of unit cell vibration increases with the rise of prestrain. The presented structure improves the realtime adjustability of sound isolation and vibration reduction frequency for phononic crystal in complex acoustic vibration environments.

The electrical activity of the brain recorded by EEG which used to detect different types of diseases and disorders of the human brain. There is contained a large amount of random noise present during EEG recording, such as artifacts and baseline changes. These noises affect the low -frequency range of the EEG signal. These artifacts hiding some valuable information during analyzing of the EEG signal. In this paper we used the FIR filter for removing low -frequency noise(<1Hz) from the EEG signal. The performance is measured by calculating the SNR and the RMSE. We obtained RMSE average value from the test is 0.08 and the SNR value at frequency(<1Hz) is 0.0190.

The acoustic absorption of granular aerogel layers with a granule sizes in the range of 2 to 40 μm is dominated by narrow-banded, high absorption regions in the low-frequency range and by reduced absorption values at higher frequencies. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of developing new, low-frequency noise reduction materials by layering granular aerogels with traditional porous sound absorbing materials such as glass fibers. The acoustic behavior of the layered configurations is predicted using the arbitrary coefficient method, wherein the granular aerogel layers are modeled as an equivalent poro-elastic material while the fibrous media and membrane are modeled as limp media. The analytical predictions are verified using experimental measurements conducted using the normal incidence, two-microphone impedance tube method. Our results show that layered configurations including granular aerogels, fibrous materials, and limp membranes provide enhanced sound absorption properties that can be tuned for specific noise control applications over a broad frequency range.
