This thesis investigates sound transmission loss through flat finite panels using composite materials, which incorporate both carbon and flax fibres. The study wascarried out by performing FEM simulations developed and validated in steps. Thevalidation process was time-consuming but crucial in ensuring the model’s reliability.The analysis demonstrates the relationship between the panels’ mass, stiffness, andsound reduction effectiveness by studying the sound transmission loss for a flat plate.The results show how by adjusting the plate’s stiffness, thickness, and mass one cancontrol its reaction to the incoming sound. This allows resonance frequencies to beshifted away from critical points and avoids coincidence frequencies. By understanding the acoustic behavior of composite panels, this research contributes to improvingsoundproofing properties while preserving their mechanical advantages. In an era ofgrowing demand for better acoustic performance in the automotive industry, exploring innovative methods to optimize the sound transmission loss of composite panelsis essential. / Denna studie undersöker ljudöverföringsförluster genom platta finita paneler sombestår av kompositmaterial, som innehåller både kol- och linfiber. Studien utförFEM-simuleringar som utvecklats och validerats i steg. Valideringsprocessen vartidskrävande men avgörande för att säkerställa modellernas tillförlitlighet. Analysenvisar sambandet mellan panelernas massa, styvhet och ljudreducerande effektivitetgenom att studera ljudtransmissionsförluster för en platt panel. Resultatet visarhur justering av plattans styvhet, tjocklek och massa kan styra dess reaktion på detinkommande ljudet, vilket gör att resonansfrekvenser kan flyttas bort från kritiskapunkter och undvika sammanfallande frekvenser. Genom att förstå det akustiskabeteendet hos kompositpaneler bidrar denna studie till att förbättra ljudisoleringsegenskaperna samtidigt som deras mekaniska fördelar bevaras. I en tid av växande efterfrågan på bättre akustisk prestanda inom bilindustrin, blir det viktigt att utforska innovativa metoder för att optimera ljudöverföringsförlusten hos kompositpaneler.

Environmental noise at high levels and inappropriate construction techniques used in conventional buildings in Brazil claim for a transition to better construction systems. Recently the Brazilian standard NBR 15575:2013 established for the first time parameters and criteria for residential building performance. In standard minimum requirements for sound insulation are given, for example for external walls and roof structures. This way it is of fundamental importance to have sound transmission loss data for diferente types of such elements at hand. Taking into account that there is very little information on the sound transmission loss of external walls of the light steel frame (LSF) type measurements of sound insulation of different vertical external LSF walls typically used in Brazil were carried out. Eighteen different LSF walls were mounted in the sound transmission measurement chamber of the Federal University of Santa Maria and measurements were carried out in accordance with ISO 10140:2010. Sound insulation was characterized by means of the sound reduction index R, the weighted sound reduction index Rw and the sound transmission class, making it possible to compare the sound insulation of the LSF walls with data from the literature. The LSF walls under investigation in this study used different materials such as OSB panels, cement boards, plaster boards, Smartside panels, PVC panels, XPS panels and magnesium oxide boards for the outer face. The influence of resilient channels and sponge tape, placed between the outer face and the metalic studes, were also evaluated. The sound insulation of the diferente LSF walls were found to be 43 dB ≤ Rw ≤ 50 dB and 45 dB ≤ STC ≤ 52 dB. Within the LSF walls measured the one which used magnesium oxide boards on the outer face showed to have the highest weight sound reduction index (Rw = 50 dB). Resilient channels, fabricated especially for this study, and sponge tape were able to provide an increase of Rw and STC up to 5 dB compared to the same wall without this resilient elements, and provide better sound insulation especially for frequencies higher than 400 Hz. From the data it can be concluded that LSF walls are more efficient regarding the sound insulation than single walls of the same surface mass and in some cases even better than single walls of superior surface mass, such as walls made of massive brick or concrete blocks. / O excesso de ruído ambiental e as inadequadas técnicas construtivas dos sistemas convencionais utilizados no mercado da construção civil brasileira, fazem com que seja necessária a introdução de novas tecnologias construtivas mais racionais e produtivas. A partir da entrada em vigor da NBR 15575:2013 foram estabelecidos diversos parâmetros de desempenho para edificações habitacionais. A referida norma também estabelece exigências mínimas de isolamento acústico para os sistemas que compõem as edificações, entre eles, as vedações verticais. Desta forma, informações sobre o isolamento acústico providenciado pelos diferentes sistemas construtivos tornaram-se de fundamental importância. Tendo em vista a pouca informação existente na literatura sobre o isolamento sonoro de paredes externas em light steel frame (LSF), foram realizadas medições de perda de transmissão sonora em paredes externas executadas neste sistema construtivo, usadas tipicamente no mercado brasileiro. Dezoito composições de paredes em LSF foram montadas na câmara reverberante de transmissão sonora da UFSM para realização dos ensaios de perda de transmissão conforme procedimentos propostos pela ISO 10140:2010. O isolamento sonoro foi quantificado a partir dos espectros do índice de redução sonora R, pelo índice de redução sonora ponderado Rw e pela classe de transmissão sonora STC, facilitando a comparação entre diferentes composições de parede e dados de isolamento sonoro encontrados na bibliografia. Os principais materiais utilizados no revestimento das paredes LSF foram paineis OSB, placas cimentícias, placas de gesso acartonado, réguas Smartside, réguas de siding vinílico, painéis XPS e placas de óxido de magnésio. A influência da utilização de barras resilientes e fitas de espuma de PVC, entre as placas de revestimento e a estrutura metálica, também foi avaliada. Determinou-se que o isolamento sonoro das diferentes paredes LSF avaliadas é de 43 dB ≤ Rw ≤ 50 dB e 45 dB ≤ STC ≤ 52 dB. Dentre as paredes externas em LSF, aquela que utilizou placas de óxido de magnésio na face exterior apresentou o maior Rw = 50 dB. As barras resilientes e fitas de espuma de PVC foram capazes de aumentar o Rw e STC em até 5 dB, se comparado à parede semelhante sem estes dispositivos, especialmente nas frequências a partir de 400 Hz. A partir da análise dos dados, concluiu-se que as paredes LSF consideradas paredes duplas são mais eficientes no isolamento sonoro quando comparadas às paredes simples ou homogêneas de mesma massa e até do que algumas paredes com massa muito superior, como paredes de tijolos maciços, de blocos de concreto ou de blocos cerâmicos.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / In July, 2013, Brazil s new standard, NBR15575:2013, began to require minimum thermal, luminal, structural and acoustical performance levels in new constructions of residential dwellings. Thus, computer programs that simulate the sound transmission in buildings, can serve as important tools for professionals, enabling the verification of virtual acoustic performance of projects, quickly and economically. By being widely used in European countries, they have the database of existing elements and building systems in Europe. From this, this study aimed to evaluate a computational tool of simulation of sound transmission on the reality of Brazilian buildings. Twenty households were selected in the city of Santa Maria - RS, to be measured in situ and then simulated to airborne and impact noise. The residences were chosen according to standard and types of building systems. For greater representation of Brazilian buildings, residences of low, medium and high standards were chosen. The building systems chosen were structural masonry, structural walls with concrete or ceramic block; and reinforced concrete, with walls of hollow brick; all with massive concrete slab. The software used for the simulations was the SONarchitect and all the features and building elements used were entered into the software s database. The values of Lœn,T , Dn,T , and RT per frequency band, and their weighted values Lœn,T,w, Dn,T,w and mean RT were obtained through measurements and simulation. The weighted measured and simulated values were similar, on the other hand, the values obtained by frequency band showed disagreement with the lower frequencies precisely, from 50 Hz to 100 Hz. There was also a relationship of impact sound transmission loss with the area size of the partition, in which there is a significant increase in sound insulation in partitions with larger areas. In addition, coefficients and safety factors were determined for each standard and building system to be applied in the spectra of the simulations, aiming to bring the simulated values closer to the measured ones. Parallel with the evaluation of the computational tool, questionnaires with 150 professionals who develop acoustic projects in the country were applied. This step had as main objective to find out what tools and methods are mostly used by professionals in the development of these projects. From 31 received responses, it was determined that 20.88% of the professionals use a computational tool to develop designs. It was also possible to discover some features such as field of expertise and graduation year, which regions they are located, what kind of projects they develop and if they have already developed projects based on the new standard. / Com a entrada em vigor, em julho de 2013, da nova norma brasileira, NBR 15575:2013, passaram a ser exigidos nas novas construções de uso multifamiliar, níveis mínimos de desempenho, tais como térmico, ilumínico, estrutural e acústico. Dessa maneira, programas computacionais que simulam a transmissão sonora em edificações, podem servir como ferramentas importantes aos profissionais, permitindo a verificação do desempenho acústico virtual dos projetos, de forma rápida e econômica. Por serem amplamente utilizados nos países europeus, possuem banco de dados dos elementos e sistemas construtivos existentes na Europa. A partir disso, esse trabalho teve como objetivo a avaliação de uma ferramenta computacional, de simulação da transmissão sonora, para a realidade das construções brasileiras. Foram selecionadas 20 residências, na cidade de Santa Maria - RS, para serem medidas in loco e depois simuladas, aos ruídos aéreo e de impacto. As residências foram escolhidas, de acordo com padrão e sistemas construtivos. Para maior representatividade das construções brasileiras, foram escolhidas residências do padrão baixo, médio e alto. Os sistemas construtivos escolhidos foram alvenaria estrutural, com paredes de bloco estrutural de concreto ou cerâmico; e concreto armado, com paredes de tijolo vazado; todos com laje maciça de concreto. O programa utilizado para as simulações foi o SONarchitect e todas as características, dos elementos construtivos utilizados, foram inseridos no banco de dados do software. Foram obtidos os valores de Lœn,T , Dn,T,, e TR por banda de frequência, e seus valores ponderados de Lœn,T,w, Dn,T,w e TR médio, nas medições e simulações. Os valores ponderados medidos e simulados foram similares, por outro lado os valores obtidos por banda de frequência apresentaram divergência em relação às frequências mais baixas, precisamente de 50 Hz a 100 Hz. Verificou-se também uma relação da perda de transmissão sonora ao ruído de impacto com o tamanho da área da partição, na qual ocorre um aumento significativo no isolamento sonoro em partições com áreas maiores. Além disso, foram determinados coeficientes e fatores de segurança, para cada padrão e sistema construtivo, a serem aplicados nos espectros das simulações. Com o objetivo de aproximar os valores simulados dos valores medidos. Paralelamente à avaliação da ferramenta computacional, foram aplicados questionários com 150 profissionais que desenvolvem projetos acústicos no país. Essa etapa tinha como objetivo principal descobrir quais ferramentas e métodos são mais utilizados pelos profissionais no desenvolvimento desses projetos. A partir de 31 questionários respondidos, foi possível determinar que 20,88% dos profissionais utilizam alguma ferramenta computacional para desenvolver os projetos. Também foi possível descobrir algumas características desses profissionais como curso e ano de formação, quais as regiões que estão inseridos, que tipo de projetos desenvolvem e se já desenvolveram projetos baseados na nova norma.

The acoustics of small cavities raises interest of the scientific community since it involves particular damping mechanisms. In fluid dynamics, when a small perturbation is propagating within a Newtonian and heat-conducting fluid bounded by a rigid and isothermal surface, viscous and thermal dissipative mechanisms are generated near the walls. Such effects can have significant impact on the acoustic behaviour of the system.<p>Several types of practical applications can be cited, among which: hearing aids, micro-electro-mechanical systems (transducers, microphones and loud-speakers), absorbing materials made of thin capillary nets or small pores, dissipative silencers, thermo-acoustic heat exchangers, or any kind of device bringing into play small resonant cavities filled with a dissipative fluid (micro-acoustics).<p><p>This study focuses on appropriated reductions of the physical equations, in order to enhance the efficiency of the numerical resolution without adversely affecting the accuracy. Moreover, the proposed strategies lead to numerically stable systems as they involve only one scalar partial order differential equation (or equivalent fluid equation). The emphasis is put on the physical aspect of those reductions, their range of applicability, benefits and drawbacks.<p>Two new reduced models are proposed to estimate the visco-thermal acoustic wave propagation. A first extension deals with waveguide geometries and relax the hypothesis of the fluid at rest. The second original formulation addresses visco-thermal acoustics in 3D arbitrary geometries. This model is based on different considerations coming from existing techniques as well as the estimation of a wall-distance field.<p><p>A second part aims at studying the acoustic behaviour of biphasic materials and more specifically poro-elastic materials. This type of acoustic component is widely used in industry because of their good absorbing properties in the medium- and high-frequency <p>ranges.<p>A preliminary bibliographic research deals with the derivation of the set of partial order differential equations that account for both fluid/structure interactions and the anisotropy of a given poro-elastic material. It has been shown that transversely orientated capillary materials (for instance catalyst substrates) can be simulated using the proposed reduction technique.<p>At last, the modelling of the acoustic transmission between two domains separated by perforated or micro-perforated plates or thin plates of poro-elastic materials is discussed. The analogy between the rigid perforated plate models with an equivalent fluid formulation has been presented. As a result, this model has been extended in order to account for flexural effects of the solid part.<p><p><p>Ce travail porte sur l'étude de certains phénomènes d'amortissements intervenant dans l'acoustique des petites cavités. En méchanique des fluides, lorsqu'une petite perturbation se propage au sein d'un fluide newtonien et caloporteur borné par un mur rigide et isotherme, ces mécanismes dissipatifs particuliers se localisent aux abords des parois et jouent un rôle significatif dans certaines situations.<p>Parmi les exemples d'applications pratiques, il est possible de citer les appareils d'aide auditive, les systèmes microélectromécaniques (transducteurs, microphones et haut-parleurs), les matériaux absorbants constitués de fins réseaux capillaires ou de pores aux dimensions réduites, les systèmes de silencieux, d'échangeurs de chaleur thermo-acoustiques ou tout autre appareil mettant en jeu des cavités résonantes aux dimensions réduites (micro-acoustique).<p><p>L'étude proposée ici se focalise sur des stratégies de réduction appropriées des équations physiques, ceci afin d'améliorer l'efficacité du modèle tout en conservant une précision acceptable. Les techniques présentées aboutissent à des systèmes numériquement stables mettant en jeu une seule équation scalaire (ou équation fluide équivalent). Ainsi, l'accent est porté sur l'aspect physique des réductions, leurs domaines d'application, avantages et inconvénients.<p>Deux modèles originaux sont proposés afin de prédire la propagation acoustique visco-thermique. Une première extension permet d'évaluer la pression acoustique au sein de géométries particulières de type guides d'onde en présence d'un écoulement hydrodynamique. La seconde formulation présentée s'intéresse à l'acoustique dans des domaines 3D arbitraires. Cette méthode se base sur des considérations conjointes de modèles réduits existants ainsi que sur l'estimation d'un champ de distance à la plus proche paroi.<p><p>Dans une seconde partie, nous nous proposons d'étudier le comportement acoustique de matériaux biphasique et plus précisément les matériaux poro-élastiques (très utilisés dans l'industrie en raison de leurs caractéristiques absorbantes dans les domaines des moyennes et hautes fréquences).<p>Une étude bibliographique préliminaire nous a permis d'exprimer l'ensemble des équations aux dérivées <p>partielles modélisant à la fois les interactions fluide/structure et l'anisotropie générale des matériaux. <p>Cette réflexion nous a permis d'aboutir à un modèle de matériau isotrope transverse intéressant, combinant le modèle fluide proposé et la formulation acousto-élastique équivalente. Ainsi la modélisation de structures capillaires orientées (comme les matériaux utilisés dans les catalyseurs automobiles) s'en trouve grandement simplifiée.<p>Enfin, la transmission acoustique intervenant entre deux domaines fluides séparés par une plaque perforée ou micro-perforée ou bien une couche de matériau poreux a été étudiée. L'analogie entre les modèlisations existantes et un modèle générique de fluide équivalent a été mise en évidence. Pour finir, cette formulation a été étendue afin de prendre en compte les effets de flexion de la partie solide. / Doctorat en Sciences de l'ingénieur / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

In the global framework of improving vibro-acoustic numerical prediction quality together with the need to decrease the number of prototyping stages, this manuscript focuses on achieving greater accuracy for acoustic numerical simulations by making use of a parametric updating technique, which enables tuning the model parameters inside physically meaningful boundaries. The improved model is used for the next prototyping stages, allowing more accurate results within reduced simulation times. The updating technique is based on recent works dealing with the constitutive relation error method (CRE) applied to acoustics. The updating process focuses on improving the acoustic damping matrix related to the absorbing properties of the materials covering the borders of the acoustic domain. / Doctorat en sciences appliquées / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Fundação Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro / O presente trabalho aborda a modelagem numérica da propagação das ondas sonoras em salas, a partir da avaliação do campo de pressão sonora quadrática na sala. Esta pesquisa apresenta um modelo computacional, baseado na abordagem modal de salas com geometria retangular, que melhora o desempenho do programa de simulação numérica de acústica de salas RAIOS 3 para as baixas frequencias. Inicialmente, foi feita uma análise modal teórica e experimental de uma sala retangular de paredes rígidas e não rígidas, onde se calcula pressão sonora de todos os modos como função da posição e do tempo. Para isso, determinam-se os números de onda e frequência de cada modo, ou seja, os autovalores e as autofrequências. O desempenho do modelo é avaliado a partir dos resultados obtidos com uma sala retangular e validado utilizando dados experimentais do PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt), Alemanha, na intercomparação denominada Round Robin 3, fase 3. Os principais resultados foram obtidos pelo cálculo dos seguintes parâmetros: tempo de reverberação, (T30), fator de clareza (C80), difinição (D50) e o tempo de decaimento inicial, (EDT). / This article discusses the numerical modeling of the propagation of sound waves in rooms, from the assessment of the field of sound pressure quadratic in the room. This research presents a computational model, based on modal approach of rooms with rectangular geometry, which improves the performance of the program for numerical simulation of acoustics of rooms RAIOS 3 for low frequencies. Initially, there was a theoretical and experimental modal analysis of a rectangular room for non-rigid and rigid walls, where an estimated sound pressure of all modes as a function of place and time. For this, is determining of the wavenumbers and frequencies of each mode, namely the eigenvalues and eigenfrequencies. The performance of the model is assessed from results with a rec tangular room and validated using measurement data of the PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt), Germany, an inter-comparison named Round Robin 3, phase - 3. The main results were obtained by calculating the following parameters: reverberation time, (T30), clarity factor, (C80), difinition, (D50) and early decay time.

Résumé:<p><p>Cette dissertation s’intéresse aux méthodes numériques dans le domaine de l’acoustique. Les propriétés acoustiques d’un produit sont devenues une part intégrante de la conception. En effet, de nos jours le bruit est perçu comme une nuisance par le consommateur et constitue un critère de vente. Il y a de plus des normes à respecter. Les méthodes numériques permettent de prédire la propagation sonore et constitue dès lors un outil de conception incontournable pour réduire le temps et les coûts de développement d’un produit.<p><p>Cette dissertation considère la propagation d’ondes acoustiques dans le domaine fréquentiel en tenant compte de la présence d’un écoulement. Nous pouvons citer comme application industrielle, le rayonnement d’une nacelle de réacteur d’avion. Le but de la thèse est de proposer une nouvelle méthode et démontrer ses performances par rapport aux méthodes actuellement utilisées (i.e. la méthode des éléments finis).<p><p>L’originalité du travail consiste à étendre la méthode de partition de l’unité polynomiale dans le cadre de la propagation acoustique convectée, pour des domaines extérieurs. La simulation acoustique dans des domaines de dimensions infinies est réalisée dans ce travail à l’aide d’un couplage entre éléments finis et éléments infinis.<p><p>La dissertation présente la formulation de la méthode pour des applications axisymétriques et tridimensionnelles et vérifie la méthode en comparant les résultats numériques obtenus avec des solutions analytiques pour des applications académiques (i.e. propagation dans un conduit, rayonnement d’un multipole, bruit émis par la vibration d’un piston rigide, etc.). Les performances de la méthode sont ensuite analysées. Des courbes de convergences illustrent à une fréquence donnée, la précision de la méthode en fonction du nombre d’inconnues. Tandis que des courbes de performances présentent le temps de calcul nécessaire pour obtenir une solution d’une précision donnée en fonction de la fréquence d’excitation. Ces études de performances montrent l’intérêt de la méthode présentée.<p><p>Le rayonnement d’un réacteur d’avion a été abordé dans le but de vérifier la méthode sur une application de type industriel.

Le travail effectué illustre l’intérêt d’utiliser des fonctions polynomiales d’ordre élevé ainsi que les avantages à enrichir l’approximation localement afin d’améliorer la solution sans devoir créer un maillage plus fin.<p><p><p>Summary:<p><p>Environmental considerations are important in the design of many engineering systems and components. In particular, the environmental impact of noise is important over a very broad range of engineering applications and is increasingly perceived and regulated as an issue of occupational safety or health, or more simply as a public nuisance. The acoustic quality is then considered as a criterion in the product design process. Numerical prediction techniques allow to simulate vibro-acoustic responses. The use of such techniques reduces the development time and cost.<p><p>This dissertation focuses on acoustic convected radiation in outer domains such as it is the case for turbofan radiation. In the current thesis the mapped infinite partition of unity method is implemented within a coupled finite and infinite element model.

The verification compares computed results with the proposed method and analytical solutions for academic applications (i.e. duct propagation, multipole radiation, noise radiated by a vibrating rigid piston, etc.) .Performance analyses are performed with convergence curves plotting, for a given frequency, the accuracy of the computed solution with respect to the number of degrees of freedom or with performance curves, plotting the CPU time required to solve the application within a given accuracy, with respect to the excitation frequency. These performance analyses illustrate the interest of the mapped infinite partition of unity method.<p><p>We compute the radiation of an axisymmetric turbofan (convected radiation and acoustic treatments). The aim is to verify the method on an industrial application. We illustrate the radiation and compare the mapped infinite partition of unity results with finite element computations.<p><p>The dissertation presents the mapped partition of unity method as a computationally efficient method and illustrates its performances for academic as well as industrial applications. We suggest to use the method with high order polynomials and take the advantage of the method which allows to locally enrich the approximation. This last point improves the accuracy of the solution and prevent from creating a finer mesh.<p> / Doctorat en Sciences de l'ingénieur / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
