Vibrations and Noise

FSI-RVHAcad. year: 2013/2014

Vibrations and noise are a general accompaniment to all machinery operations. The whole chain encompassing the vibration sources, transfer paths of the structure, noise emitters on the machine surface and ambient acoustic environment needs to be analyzed. We need to mainly focus on active methods of reducing vibrations and noise.
Basic areas of examination:
Spectra of vibro-acoustic quantities, experimental analysis,
biomechanics of the human voice and hearing, acoustic properties of closed areas.
Identification of sources of vibrations and noise, aerodynamic sources of noise.
Passive methods of noise reduction.
Active methods of noise reduction - vibroacoustic systems of machines, deterministic models (modelled by means of FEM ) for low-frequency noise), statistic models (solutions of high-frequency noise).

Learning outcomes of the course unit

To carry out the machine noise, sourer vibrations and noise identification, the modelling of dynamic phenomenon in the working processes, to realize the active and passive methods of vibrations and noise. By means of the machine noise analysis then to suggest the corresponding constructional and next arrangements, so that the dynamic machine properties would be influenced in desired direction.

Prerequisites

Fundamentals of acoustics:
acoustic wave, acoustic quantities (pressure, intenzity, power), acoustic cavities, acoustic signal spectra, experimental analysis of the acoustic quantities, acoustic fields, spectral and modal properties of acoustic cavities.
Mathematics:
matrix algebra, linear algebra, trigonometrical functions, programming on computers,computer modeling of mechanical structure.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The classified accreditation is prescribed for the subject.
The claims for accreditation:
100 % attendance on the exercises. In case of the orderly excused absence is necessary to solve a alternate problem. Accreditation is carried out by means of the written test at the term end. The test consists of the three questions covered a very important areas of the acoustics subject. Participation on the exercises is compulsory. Head of exercises carry out continuous check of student’s presence , their activity and fundamental knowledge. A not excused presence in the exercise is a reason not to give the accreditation. Definite form of the fulfilment of these claims defines the head of exercises in the term begin.

Aims

The target of the subject is theoretical and practical analyses of machine-tools noise, computer modelling their systems for reason to reduce the vibrations and acoustic energy radiation. An identification with the modern methods for analysis and solution of vibration and noise reduction when using the special programme systems for their solution – SYSNOISE, SEADS and etc.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

The inspection of the education is carried out systematically, on the exercises the presence will be written in the student’s list. A student’s preparedness for the education is carried out continuously and individually in the students, or by the short test. In case of orderly excused missing presence it is necessary to fulfil the missing items and optionally to solve some compensatory examples. A missing experimental exercises it is necessary to compensate in the alternate time.
