Why Structural Vibration is not enough

Result of Structureborne Sound Analysis: Surface Velocity

Integral of Surface Velocity = ERP = Equivalent Radiated Power

[Dr. Neher, MAN Turbo & Diesel]

Airborne Sound is radiated, when the Surface Waves excite Air Waves
Radiation efficiency is a Function of Frequency and <1 for low Frequencies

New in ANSYS 16: Transmission Loss and Diffuse Field

Task: Sound transmission trough a window

Diffuse stochastic noise from one side
Sound measurement on the other side
Sender room Receiver room
Target quantity:
Transmission loss TL(f)
= Power sender / Power receiver
PS
R TL 10 log dB
PR
Whats new?
In experiments the sender side is a large reverbarant room
Modelling this room in FE would take billions of 3D elements
The new diffuse field boundary reduces this room to
a 2D stochastic source, directly applied to the window surface
this makes the problem faster and feasible

HPC

CADFEM 2016 Webinar: Vibroacoustics Simulation in ANSYS 16 & 17 28

Enhanced Solution Strategies & HPC

Challenge:
Lowest frequency requires large distance between
source and radiating boundary condition
High frequency requires small elements
Wide the frequency range large FE model

Solution: Subdivide frequency range into multiple sub-ranges

For each band fmin to fmax distance is smaller
Smaller air volume and bigger elements
Much lower element count More efficient solution in each band
