This study focuses on the problem of sound radiation by two concentric clamped flat plates, circular and annular, into the half-space. The system of three coupled differential equations comprising two equations of motions of plates and the wave equation, is solved exactly. Vibrations of plates are axisymmetric and time-harmonic with a single excitation frequency. The initial phase difference of excitations can be nonzero. Attenuation due to fluid loading and material damping is included. Kirchoff-Love and Kelvin-Voigt theories are applied. The effect of initial phase difference of excitations on the acoustic power radiated is examined as well as errors resulting from neglecting the fluid loading.

The problem of sound radiation by a system consisting of two vibrating circular pistons embedded in two of three different planes perpendicular to one another forming a three-wall corner is considered. The earlier published results dealing with the sound radiation by sources vibrating in a three-wall corner are the basis of analysis. According to the earlier studies, the exact formulae for acoustic power of radiation of two circular pistons are used. The formulae are expressed as double Fourier integrals. The active and reactive, self and mutual, components are separated from them as well as the corresponding expressions of the acoustic power of mirror images of the piston sources. The acoustic power of the two sources are expressed in the form of the Rayleigh formulae whereas, in the case of the mirror images, it is expressed in the form of the single series expansion containing spherical Bessel and Neumann functions. In the case of the mutual acoustic power of the sources, approximate formulae are presented for low frequencies. On the basis of the results obtained, the corresponding formulae valid for a two-wall corner are presented as the limiting transitions. All the results presented can be useful, e.g. in designing the room acoustics and outdoor system everywhere the free field conditions are disturbed by the acoustic waves reflected at rigid vertical walls for the wavelengths being considerably shorter than the geometric sizes of the walls.

A rigorous solution is presented for the problem of sound radiation by an oscillating and wobbling annular piston embedded concentrically in a perpendicular flat screen surrounding a semi-infinite circular cylindrical baffle. Two forms of the Green's function of the considered region are used. The acoustic impedance is presented in its integral form useful for numerical calculations which enable studying the effect of the acoustic waves scattering on the cylindrical baffle and the asymmetry of vibration velocity on the piston on the resultant acoustic impedance of the wobbling piston. It is shown that in the case of the vibrating piston under consideration, the reciprocity of acoustic impedance related to two modes of rigid body motion, oscillating and wobbling, does not occur.

Acoustic structures are currently classified mainly in terms of their acoustic absorption and insulation properties. Knowing the sound scattering parameter can significantly improve the useful value of materials and identify their best applications. Currently no studies are performed in Poland on the sound scattering coefficients of materials. This is due to a complex measurement procedure and a lack of legal requirements. The authors have attempted to make such measurements on the basis of the standard ISO 17497-1:2004: Acoustics - Sound-scattering properties of surfaces - Part 1: Measurement of the random-incidence scattering coefficient in a reverberation room. Measurement and calculation methods are presented, and problems encountered during this study have been described. This issue is of particular importance, especially in the acoustic design of interiors.

Sound Wave Diffraction at the Edge of a Sound Barrier

75%
EN
The diffraction phenomenon is described by the Huygens-Fresnel principle. The review of physical laws ruling the bending of sound waves at the edge of the screen allows the effective selection of both acoustical and geometrical parameters of the screen. Sound wave diffraction theories have been developed on the basis of wave optics, when wavelength is small in comparison to the size of the obstacles, which can be also used in acoustics with the same assumptions about geometry of the system. Diffraction can be seen as a result of the interference of waves reaching the point of observation in accordance with the laws of geometrical optics and wave disturbances arising as a result of interaction with the edge of an obstacle. The paper describes a test method using maximum length sequences for determining the intrinsic characteristics of sound diffraction in situ during testing of roadside noise barriers. A scale model experiment has been performed in an anechoic room. Also, a real noise reducing device was tested in free field conditions.

Airborne sound insulation index of the noise barrier panel and the sound absorption coefficient of the barrier surface are the acoustic parameters that are usually determined in specialized laboratories, however they can be also determined in situ. Acoustic characteristics of a barrier include also the diffraction index difference determined from comparison of barriers with plain top edges and barriers with added devices installed on the top edge. The index is determined from the impulse response values determined for the acoustic wave propagation path from the sound source to a set of properly distributed measurement points. By means of the same method, one can also determine the difference in a barrier's acoustic effectiveness between the plain top barrier structure and its version with added devices mounted on the top. The paper presents measurement results for three types of added devices mounted on the top edge of the barrier. The diffraction index differences have been determined for each added device type and the acoustic effectiveness for each device has been compared with the plain top edge acoustic barrier.
