This paper considers the origin and implications of higher-order (non-linear) cumulant spectral signatures generated by a hypoid gear assembly in a light utility van. This analysis demonstrates that the hypoid gear silencing problem is qualitatively and quantitatively different than the problems in gear design, both nominal and detailed, in particular: • The production of sound by final drive gear trains is an extremely inefficient process; therefore, the vibration components which dominate sound generation are negligible quantities in typical gear design trade-offs. The usual silencing adjustments often shift but do not remove the offending source. • Human hearing is acutely sensitive to the phase-coherent sinusoidal oscillations with modulated sidebands produced by hypoid gear trains. Modifications which reduce signature energy in a specific narrow band component may have no useful effect on perceived acoustic annoyance. • Final drive measurements capture transient, stochastically modulated hypoid gear signatures confounded by highly correlated, non-Gaussian interference. Experimental design to explicitly measure the transient drive signals and the sources of correlated inference is essential for useful results. • Emerging higher-order spectral analysis methods require long measurement ensembles to achieve appropriate resolution bandwidth and statistical convergence. Efficient data handling architecture for long, replicated ensembles is a pragmatic necessity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
