Non-singular boundary element method (BEM) codes are developed in acoustics application. The BEM code is then used to calculate unknown boundary surface normal displacements and surface pressures from known exterior near field pressures. And then the calculated surface normal displacements and surface pressures are again applied to the BEM in forward in order to calculate reconstructed field pressures. The initial exterior near field pressures are very well agreed with the later reconstructed field pressures. Only the same number of boundary surface nodes (1178) are used for the initial exterior pressures which are at first calculated by Finite Element Method (FEM) and BEM. Pseudo-inverse technique is, used for the calculation of the unknown boundary surface normal displacements. The structural object is a tuning fork with 128.4 ㎐ resonant. The boundary element is a quadratic hexahedral element (eight nodes per element).

역경계요소법에 기초한 근접음장 음향홀로그래피는 근접 음장에서의 음압 측정과 음향경계요소법을 이용한 전달함수를 이용하여 소음원의 특성을 재구성하고, 임의 형상의을 갖는 소음원을 재구성 할 수 있는 강점이 있지만, 음압 측정에 많은 마이크로폰이 필요로 한다. 많은 실험 비용을 줄이기 위해, 본 연구에서는 마이크로폰이 고정된 상태에서 반사체를 추가하여 음장을 변화시키고, 이 상태에서 측정된 음압을 음원 재구성의 추가 정보로 이용하는 방법이 제안되고, 적용예제로서 모터의 표면 속도를 재구성 하였다. 직육면체 강체 반사체를 이용하여, 각 마이크로폰 위치에서 2 배수의 음압을 얻어, 이를 재구성에 이용하였다. 또한 수치유효랭크를 이용하여 재구성에 사용된 모우드의 개수를 계산하였다.

Various array processing techniques to identify the noise source position or bearing have been developed. Typical array processing techniques which are based on time delay between received signals at two sensors, are classified as conventional beamforming, correlation function and NAH (Near-Field Acoustic Holography) techniques which have their own characteristics with respect to application field and signal processing method. In this study, correlation function technique which could be applied for broadband noise source detection, is adopted and the effective detection technique is proposed considering the effects of source bandwidth and measurement noise correlation of noise sources. The validity of the Proposed technique is evaluated using the 3-dimensional nonlinear any which does not give 3-dimensional Position or bearing ambiguity

The recently developed BEM-based NAH(nearfield acoustical holography) is a useful technique for identifying the sound source of vibrating objects. The acoustic parameters of a sound source can be reconstructed by using the vibro-acoustic transfer matrix, which is determined by means of BEM, and the sound pressure measured in the nearfield. Theoretically, one can come up with a very nice reconstructed result as the field plane gets near to the source surface. However, when a microphone is placed in the very close nearfield of the source surface, the scattering, reflection, or resonance in the gap between the source and the microphone can distort the acoustic field, and therefore, the measured field pressure would differ from the actual one in the absence of the microphone. In order to analyze this problem, the interference effect of the microphone is numerically calculated by using the nonsingular BEM that yields very small error in the nearfield. From this analysis, it is found that the prediction error of the field pressure decreases firstly and then increases as the microphone approaches the vibrating surface from the farfield to the close nearfield. It is noted that the microphone should be separated from the source surface by at least a diameter of the microphone for an error ratio less than 2% in the low frequency range less than about 2.7kHz. This means that if one wants to put a microphone in the very close nearfield. a microphone with small diameter should be used.

The Interaction between tire and road is responsible for the excited vibration of the tire, and It is also important for the sound radiation. In this paper. measurement of tire structural vibration noise from a chassis dynamometer using Spatial Transformation of Sound Field(STSF) technique is studied. STSF involving a scan that uses an array of transducers over a planar surface close to the source is under investigation. From cross spectra measurement during the scan, a principal component representing the sound field is extracted. Any power descriptor of the near field can then be investigated by means of near-field acoustic holography, while the distant field can be determined by application of Helmholtz integral equation. The results of the measurement were used to obtain the radiation sound pattern from the center line of the tire, and to locate the radiation sound generating regions in the vicinity of the tire.

This paper describes the experimental study for the position estimation method of underwater sound source using the Nearfield Acoustic Holography. The result confirms that it can be used in the identification of underwater noise sources. The sound sources in the experimental work consists of 2 spherical projectors and the near-Held sound pressure is measured in the hologram plane. From the cross-power spectra of the measured data, the complex sound pressures on the hologram plane is derived and its spatial transformation gives sound fields in a source region. The obtained sound fields in a source region showed that the position of each sound source and their relative source strength are exactly estimated. In conclusion, this technique can be applied for estimation of each source position and its relative strength contribution for the underwater multiple sound sources.

Transient acoustic pressure in the near field of an impacted plate carries information that can be utilized for recovering the impact force history. The inverse calculation approach using BEM-based NAH, which is conventionally used for time harmonic excitation, can be applied for reconstructing the transient waves using the principle of Fourier transform and spectral analysis. Then, using the recovered velocity in normal direction of the plate surface, the corresponding structural intensity can be obtained and the identification of input power can be performed. However, several manipulations should be given to overcome numerical artifacts, such as aliasing and erratic oscillation at discontinuity, and to suppress the effect of noise. Experiment using a simply supported plate is presented for demonstration purpose.

This paper explores the use of BEM based NAH to reconstruct the surface vibration of a plate in a rectangular finite cavity, in which the distances between sensors and the nearest points on the source surface are not equal. In such circumstances, different degree of information on propagating and non-propagating wave components will be detected by sensors at different positions, as well as the influence of measurement noise will vary significantly from the nearest points of measurement to the farthest ones. On the other hand, the condition number of the vibro-acoustic transfer function matrix relating normal surface velocities and field pressures will becomes high, numerically indicating an increase of linear dependency between rows of transfer function matrix. The combination of poor measurement and high condition number will result inaccurate reconstruction. Therefore, one approach to be investigated in this work is to select the measurement positions in such ways that reduce measurement redundancy, as it indicated by the condition number. The improvement is found to be significant in the numerical simulations utilizing two different criterions, spanning from over-determined to under-determined cases, and in the validation experiment.
