Influence of Magnetic Field on Sound Transmission Loss of the Unit Filled with Magnetorheological Fluid

Abstract

To explore the feasibility of applying magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) in the field of noise control, the influence of the magnetic field intensity and direction on the sound transmission loss (STL) of a unit filled with MRF (MRF unit) were investigated in this study. First, two types of test sample containing the MRF unit were designed and fabricated. The magnetic field applied to the MRF was provided by the permanent magnets used in pairs. The direction of the magnetic field was perpendicular or parallel to the direction of the sound wave propagation. The distribution of the magnetic field intensity of the two types of test samples was simulated using magnetostatic finite element analysis and validated with the magnetic field intensity measured using a Teslameter. For comparison, test samples containing air and water units were also prepared. Then, the STL of the two types of test samples were measured under different magnetic field intensities using the impedance tube method. Finally, the STL curves of the two types of test samples were presented, and the influence of magnetic field intensity and direction on the STL were discussed. The results demonstrate that the magnetic field direction has a significant influence on the STL of the MRF unit. In addition, when the magnetic field direction is parallel to the sound propagation direction, the STL of the test sample containing MRF unit significantly increases with the increase of the magnetic field intensity at low and middle frequencies.

Design and experiment of fuzzy-PID based tillage depth control system for a self-propelled electric tiller

“…The PID control system and the FPID control system are used in adjusting the height and low position of the rotary tiller of the selfpropelled electric tiller, respectively, under different working conditions to control the tiller depth and verify the field operation performance of the tillage depth automatic control system using the FPID control strategy. The quality of the rotary tillage operation of the microtiller under different control modes is also tested to verify whether it can meet the requirements for the uniformity and stability of the tillage depth control [37,38] . According to the specified agricultural machinery operation standards, the important indicators for judging the quality of rotary tillage are the coefficient of variation V of the stability of the tillage depth and the rate of broken soil E:…”

Research on the Sound Insulation Performance of Composite Rubber Reinforced with Hollow Glass Microsphere Based on Acoustic Finite Element Simulation

“…Therefore, the sound insulation performance of the composite rubber reinforced with HGM was investigated by acoustic finite element simulation in this research, which aimed to promote its practical application in the field of noise reduction. Meanwhile, the weighted STL with the 1/3 octave band was treated as the evaluation criterion for comparing the sound insulation performance with various influencing parameters [ 40 , 41 , 42 ]. The finite element simulation model was first built based on the basic theory of pressure acoustics [ 43 , 44 ], which could research the sound insulation mechanism of the composite material through analyzing the distribution of the sound pressure level (SPL).…”

Thermodynamic Modeling and Exergy Analysis of A Combined High-Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell and ORC System for Automotive Applications

“…Conventional low-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (LT-PEMFCs) utilize Nafion and other polymer membranes and are limited to an operating temperature range of 333-353 K [15,16]. HT-PEMFCs with phosphoric-acid-doped polybenzimidazole (PA/PBI) membranes operate at higher temperatures and have excellent proton conductivity [17][18][19][20][21]. An HT-PEMFC operating at 393-473 K has significant advantages over an LT-PEMFC [22]: increased CO tolerance [23]; improved electrode reaction kinetics [24]; a simpler system for water and heat management [25]; and higher quality waste heat [26].…”
