The subject of this study is an analysis of the phenomenon of sound radiation generated by vibrating building partitions in terms of acceptable vibration values set out in PN-88/B-02171: Evaluation of the vibration impact on people in buildings. The aim of the research was to determine conditions when vibration limits, determined as those providing the required human comfort according to the standard, do not meet the requirements of PN-87/B-02151/02 describing sound level limits in rooms. In order to carry out research showing the phenomenon, various aspects of sound radiation by vibrating building partitions were analyzed theoretically. It was assumed that the vibration velocity of elements did not exceed the limits specified in the standard. Calculations were carried out, in particular, for variants with variable thickness or surface of vibrating partition as well as various types of the construction material. Furthermore, the minimum vibration duration was determined for which the values of noise exceeded the sound level limits.
Effectiveness of the active vibration reduction of triangular plate is evaluated by way of the analysis of acoustical field. The active vibration reduction is performed with actuators. The effect is measured by the analysis of the acoustical field both far distance and near one from the plate. As the control parameter, the difference between acoustical pressures is considered. The first pressure and the second one are radiated by the plate without and with the vibration reduction, respectively. The control parameter is calculated for two reduction cases. First case, when actuators are attached at so-called quasi-optimal places and second one, when they are shifted. The numerical calculations show that the acoustical field is sensitive to change of the plate active vibration reduction. It responds to even little changes of the plate vibrations in both active reduction cases mentioned above. So that it is handy indirect control parameter of the active vibration reduction.
The study is a next part of earlier works by the authors, and explores how does the sequence of activated actuators and the level of applied voltage affect the radiated acoustic energy. The analysis uses the finite element method for structural vibrations and combination of the finite element and the intensity hybrid method to assess the level of sound radiation. The vibrating element is a steel plate with glued on actuators, supported on one edge and excited by a harmonically variable, concentrated load with a constant amplitude value.
This paper deals with simple supported beam-actuators-concentrated masses mechanical system; it appears in active vibration reduction problem. To solve the problem with the Fourier method, the system is discretized into uniform elements. In the paper the orthogonality condition of the modes of the discretized system is derived. Furthermore, the solution of the forced vibration problem of the above system, appearing inherently in the active vibration reduction problem, is outlined.
In classic acoustics there are two areas identified around acoustic sources - nearfield and farfield. The nearfield is connected with the Fresnel solution and farfield - the Fraunhofer one. For each regions there are different theoretical formulae for determination of distribution of the chosen acoustic parameter. Unfortunately there is no sharply outlined border between regions. Therefore one of the important problem, is to define approximately conditions for state the border between them. The two attempts for identification are discussed, i.e. geometrical one and intensity ones. The results are shown on the vibrating circular rigid piston case.
