Acoustical Holography

To identify sound source locations and strength by using near-field acoustical holography (NAH), many microphones are generally required in order to span the source region and to ensure a sufficiently high spatial sampling rate. It is often the case that hundreds of microphones are needed, so such measurements are costly, which has limited the application of NAH in industrial settings. Recently, however, it has been shown that it is possible to accurately identify concentrated sound sources with a limited number of microphones based on compressive sampling theory. Here, the theory of the four NAH methods that were studied in the present work, that is, statistically optimized near-field acoustical holography (SONAH), wideband acoustical holography (WBH), l1-norm minimization, and a hybrid compressive sampling method, is briefly reviewed. Note that the latter three procedures incorporate elements of compressive sampling. Then, a simulation with one monopole as the sound source was conducted to illustrate some basic characteristics of these algorithms. In the experimental portion of the work, a multi-element loudspeaker was used as the sound source. A near-field intensity scan was conducted to measure both the true intensity spatial distribution and the sound power generated by the loudspeaker to provide a basis against which the values obtained from the holography reconstructions could be compared. The sound field was reconstructed by using both near- and far-field measurements, and the number of microphone measurements used to reconstruct the sound field was systematically decreased by increasing the spacing between microphones. Both in the simulation and experiment, the sound field was reconstructed by using the four NAH methods mentioned above. Then, the reconstruction results were comparedwith the measured intensity results in terms of spatial localization and sound power, and the benefits of the compressive sampling approach are illustrated.

Acoustical Holography

In order to reconstruct the sound field, the fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based near-field acoustical holography (NAH) demands that the measurement surface must extend to a region where the sound pressure decreases to a low level. This method is unfit for reconstructing the partial sound field in which the measurement aperture size is limited either by physical necessity or as a way of reducing the measurement cost. Statistically optimal NAH (SONAH) performs plane-to-plane calculations directly in the spatial domain, avoids all errors occurred in the FFT-based NAH and significantly increases the accuracy of the reconstruction of the partial sound field. In the present work, combined with the different regularization methods, SONAH is performed for reconstructing the partial sound field. The errors over the central and the peripheral sections of the reconstruction area are researched separately. Simulations and experiments show that SONAH is successful in reconstructing the partial sound field and the errors over the central sections are smaller than that over the peripheral sections. Experiments demonstrate that Tikhonov regularization in conjunction with Engl's criterion is suitable for the reconstruction of the practical sound field.

Active control of low frequency sound radiation using planar secondary sources is theoretically investigated in this paper. The primary sound field originates from a vibrating panel and the planar sources are modeled as simply supported rectangular panels in an infinite baffle. The sound power of the primary and secondary panels are calculated using a near field approach, and then a series of formulas are derived to obtain the optimum reduction in sound power based on minimization of the total radiate sound power. Finally, active reduction for a number of secondary panel arrangements is examined and it is concluded that when the modal distribution of the secondary panel does not coincide with that of the primary panel, one secondary panel is sufficient. Otherwise four secondary panels can guarantee considerable reduction in sound power over entire frequency range of interest.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the impacts of various parameters of rigid spherical microphone array in detecting and locating interior sound source. Helmholtz Equations are adopted to express the sound field produced by the incident field and scattered field. The gradient of the pressure is zero at the surface for the sphere is rigid. Both the incident and scattered coefficient could be obtained by solving the Helmholtz Equation using the boundary condition. Then the interior sound field could be detected and located on with the methodology of spherical near-field acoustic holography (SNAH). This study is developed in two aspects，one is configuring the microphone in various distribution in the same sphere radius, and the other one is changing the radius of sphere array. Numerical simulations are carried out to determine the optimum microphone array configuration and structure parameters. One, two, and three sound sources are arranged respectively in different displacement to the sphere center and in different angle direction to simulate the real situation. During the experiments, Omni-directional speakers and beeps are adopted as sound sources. The result shows that the method to detect and locate sound source in interior sound field is valid.

Complex Sound

The conventional planar near-field acoustic holography is not suitable for cyclostationary sound field radiated by the rotating machines. When the cyclic spectral density (CSD), instead of the complex sound pressure, is adopted as reconstructed physical quantity, the modulating wave and carrier wave components of the cyclostationary sound field can be extracted exactly and so the cyclostationary planar near-field acoustic holography (CPNAH) technique was proposed. Simulation and experimental results show that the modulation characteristics of the cyclostationary sound field can be extracted effectively and the sound source can be localized accurately.

Sound Power Level

The international standard for the determination of the sound power level of transformers allows both the sound pressure and the sound intensity measurement method. Since the sound measurements take place in the reactive near-field next to the vibrating transformer tank walls, local disturbances influence the sound field characteristics at the measurement positions. As a result, the measured mean sound power level differs commonly up to 6dB at comparative measurements with both methods. Beyond these near field effects, the influence of an industrial measurement environment (background sound sources, hard-reflecting floor, semi-reverberant walls, and standing waves) to the sound pressure and sound intensity field characteristics is investigated. Hereby, numerical analyses based on 3D-FEM with consideration of the fluid-structure-coupling are used. The measured sound level differences can be re-produced and clarified in numerical analyses.
