Summary

The new generation of road vehicles is developing towards electrification, intelligence, interconnection and sharing. Besides being a means of transportation, vehicles are expected to have more functions, such as work and entertainment. In line with these trends, vehicle interior noise control calls for more attention than just controlling physical acoustic quantities. The last decade has witnessed revolutionary progress in the materials, structures, control methods and technologies that create a quieter and more comfortable interior sound environment for vehicles. The existent challenge is that the interior noise in the running vehicle, especially under high-speed conditions, features strong time-varying and non-linear characteristics. New challenges are also emerging for interior noise control, even sound quality, when different functional zones are expected in the future cabin, like the working or entertainment zone. The special issue aims to provide readers with theoretical and engineering advances in vehicle noise control.

    A Sound Quality Evaluation Method for Vehicle Interior Noise Based on Auditory Loudness Model

    Zhiheng He, Hui Guo, Houguang Liu, Yu Zhao, Zipeng Zhang, Shanguo Yang
    Sound & Vibration, Vol.58, pp. 47-58, 2024, DOI:10.32604/sv.2024.045470

    Abstract When designing and optimizing the hull of vehicles, their sound quality needs to be considered, which greatly depends on the psychoacoustic parameters. However, the traditional psychoacoustic calculation method does not consider the influence of the real human ear anatomic structure, even the loudness which is most related to the auditory periphery. In order to introduce the real physiological structure of the human ear into the evaluation of vehicle sound quality, this paper first carried out the vehicle internal noise test to obtain the experimental samples. Then, the physiological loudness was predicted based on an established human ear physiological model, and… More >

    Abstract The deployment of vehicle micro-motors has witnessed an expansion owing to the progression in electrification and intelligent technologies. However, some micro-motors may exhibit design deficiencies, component wear, assembly errors, and other imperfections that may arise during the design or manufacturing phases. Consequently, these micro-motors might generate anomalous noises during their operation, consequently exerting a substantial adverse influence on the overall comfort of drivers and passengers. Automobile micro-motors exhibit a diverse array of structural variations, consequently leading to the manifestation of a multitude of distinctive auditory irregularities. To address the identification of diverse forms of abnormal noise, this research presents a… More >

    Abstract The hub-driven virtual rail train is a novel urban transportation system that amalgamates the benefits of modern trams and buses. However, this system is plagued by issues such as decreased ride comfort and severe deformation of urban roads due to the increase in sprung mass and long-term rolling at the same position. To address these concerns and improve the human-vehicle-road friendliness of the virtual rail train, we propose an Improved Sky-Ground Hook and Acceleration-Driven Damper control (Improved SH-GH-ADD control) strategy for the semi-active suspension system. This control monitors the vibration acceleration signal of the unsprung mass in real-time and selects… More >

    Abstract Vehicle interior noise has emerged as a crucial assessment criterion for automotive NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness). When analyzing the NVH performance of the vehicle body, the traditional SEA (Statistical Energy Analysis) simulation technology is usually limited by the accuracy of the material parameters obtained during the acoustic package modeling and the limitations of the application conditions. In order to effectively solve these shortcomings, based on the analysis of the vehicle noise transmission path, a multi-level objective decomposition architecture of the interior noise at the driver’s right ear is established. Combined with the data-driven method, the ResNet neural network model… More >

    Research on Narrowband Line Spectrum Noise Control Method Based on Nearest Neighbor Filter and BP Neural Network Feedback Mechanism

    Shuiping Zhang, Xi Liang, Lin Shi, Lei Yan, Jun Tang
    Sound & Vibration, Vol.57, pp. 29-44, 2023, DOI:10.32604/sv.2023.041350

    Abstract The filter-x least mean square (FxLMS) algorithm is widely used in active noise control (ANC) systems. However, because the algorithm is a feedback control algorithm based on the minimization of the error signal variance to update the filter coefficients, it has a certain delay, usually has a slow convergence speed, and the system response time is long and easily affected by the learning rate leading to the lack of system stability, which often fails to achieve the desired control effect in practice. In this paper, we propose an active control algorithm with nearest-neighbor trap structure and neural network feedback mechanism… More >

    Roman Vinokur
    Sound & Vibration, Vol.57, pp. 1-13, 2023, DOI:10.32604/sv.2023.041784
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Passive and Active Noise Control for Vehicle)
    Abstract The loss factors and their effects on the magnitude and frequency of resonance peaks in various mechanical systems are reviewed for acoustic, vibration, and vibration fatigue applications. The main trends and relationships were obtained for linear mechanical models with hysteresis damping. The well-known features (complex module of elasticity, total loss factor, etc.) are clarified for practical engineers and students, and new results are presented (in particular, for 2-DOF in-series models with hysteresis friction). The results are of both educational and practical interest and may be applied for NVH analysis and testing, mechanical and aeromechanical design, and noise and vibration control… More >
