Acoustic intensity is a vectorial measure of acoustic energy flow through a given region of interest. Three-dimensional measurement of acoustic intensity requires special microphone array configurations. This paper provides a theoretical analysis of open spherical microphone arrays for the 3-D measurement of acoustic intensity. The calculations of the pressure and the particle velocity components of the sound field inside a closed volume are expressed using the Kirchhoff-Helmholtz integral equation. The conditions which simplify the calculation are identified. This calculation is then constrained to a finite set of microphones positioned at prescribed points on an open sphere. Several open spherical array topologies are proposed. Their magnitude and directional errors and measurement bandwidths are investigated via numerical simulations. A comparison with conventional open-sphere 3-D intensity probes is presented.

SOUND SOURCE LOCALISATION PERFORMANCE OF OPEN SPHERICAL ACOUSTIC INTENSITY PROBES UNDER REVERBERANT CONDITIONS Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin (2014-04-25) Open-spherical acoustic intensity probes are microphone arrays based on the Kirchhoff-Helmholtz integral and are used in the measurement of active acoustic intensity. The acoustic intensity measurements obtained by these arrays can be used to localise sound sources. Previously, the performance of these arrays in acoustic free field conditions were obtained using numerical simulations and it was shown that they provide better performance than other types of probes. This paper discusses the implementation of ...
Vibration analysis of cracked beams on elastic foundation using Timoshenko beam theory Batıhan, Ali Çağrı; Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011) In this thesis, transverse vibration of a cracked beam on an elastic foundation and the effect of crack and foundation parameters on transverse vibration natural frequencies are studied. Analytical formulations are derived for a beam with rectangular cross section. The crack is an open type edge crack placed in the medium of the beam and it is uniform along the width of the beam. The cracked beam rests on an elastic foundation. The beam is modeled by two different beam theories, which are Euler-Bernoulli be...
Efficient Synthesis of Room Acoustics via Scattering Delay Networks De Sena, Enzo; Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin; Cvetkovic, Zoran; Smith, Julius O. (2015-09-01) An acoustic reverberator consisting of a network of delay lines connected via scattering junctions is proposed. All parameters of the reverberator are derived from physical properties of the enclosure it simulates. It allows for simulation of unequal and frequency-dependent wall absorption, as well as directional sources and microphones. The reverberator renders the first-order reflections exactly, while making progressively coarser approximations of higher-order reflections. The rate of energy decay is clo...
ON THE ACCURACY OF OPEN SPHERICAL MICROPHONE ARRAYS FOR MEASURING ACOUSTIC INTENSITY Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin (2013-10-23) Acoustic intensity can be used for different purposes such as sound source localisation, source separation and spatial audio object coding. Three-dimensional measurement of the acoustic intensity requires the design of special microphone arrays. A theoretical analysis and numerical simulations of intensity measurements using open spherical microphone arrays are presented in this paper. The calculation of the acoustic intensity using signals from an open spherical microphone array is presented first. Error m...
Numerical and experimental investigation of tubeaxial fan noise Bodur, Ahmet; Çalışkan, Mehmet; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014) In this study, the noise characteristic of a tube axial fan is investigated numerically and experimentally. The effects of blockage plate in front of the tube axial fan on the tube axial fan noise level are experimentally investigated. A computational aero-acoustic method is used to predict the flow induced fan noise. This method couples a flow solver and a wave equation solver. Unsteady flow analysis is performed with URANS (Unsteady Reynolds Average Navier Stokes Equation) method while acoustics radiation...
