1. Investigation of perforated mufflers and plates
Sammanfattning : Mufflers are used in for instance exhaust system of cars or trucks to reduce noise. Perforated pipes are one of the main components of modern mufflers. To study acoustic properties of mufflers with perforated pipe is one of the main targets of this thesis. LÄS MER
2. Acoustic source characterisation for non-linear in-duct sources
Sammanfattning : Different ways to model acoustic in-duct sources have beenanalysed. Measurements were conducted on two diesel truckengines. It was found that for steady state oscillations, onecould linearise in the neighbourhood of a given linearisationpoint, i.e. LÄS MER
3. Aeroacoustics Studies of Duct Branches with Application to Silencers
Sammanfattning : New methodologies and concepts for developing compact and energy efficient automotive exhaust systems have been studied. This originates in the growing concern for global warming, to which road transportation is a major contributor. LÄS MER
4. Investigation and Optimization of the Acoustic Performance of Exhaust Systems
Sammanfattning : There is a strong competition among automotive manufacturers to reduce the radiated noise levels. One important source is the engine exhaust where the main noise control strategy is by using efficient mufflers. LÄS MER
5. Analysis, Control, and Design Optimization of Engineering Mechanics Systems
Sammanfattning : This thesis considers applications of gradient-based optimization algorithms to the design and control of some mechanics systems. The material distribution approach to topology optimization is applied to design two different acoustic devices, a reactive muffler and an acoustic horn, and optimization is used to control a ball pitching robot.
