b. To analyse the effect of the orders into noise
inside in the car cabin. Low noise level inside a car interior has become an attribute to
judge a performance of a commercial car. Among the sources
of noise is the noise radiated from the engine. This is
transmissted either through the air (airborne) or through the
structural vibration (structure borne). The engine order
depends on the rotational speed of the engine.

The project is aimed to measure the engine order using an


acoustic microphone and tachometer. The analysis of its effect

field data inside the cabin obtained from the measurement.

electric generator.
In area where electricity supply is limited, a portable electric
generator is frequently used. This practice causes disturbance
to the environment due to noise produced by the equipment.

The project is proposed to design an enclosure for a portable


electric generator to reduce noise level in the environment
below the maximum level stated by the international standard.
The design will involve sound and structural vibration analysis.

noise sources and estimation of how significant the noise
contribution to the overall noise level are very important. A
technique called the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) can
be applied to assume a certain a priori knowledge of the target
system based on a multivariate statistical analysis of
measured noise signals.

This project is aimed to give the comprehension understanding

sound radiation from a panel using this technique.
A reciprocity technique is known as a convenience method to
measure sound radiation. A structure is excited by a sound
field and its vibration acceleration is measured. The radiated
sound power is proportional to the ratio between the
acceleration and the sound pressure level of the sound field.
Usually this is carried out in a special conditioned room,
namely anechoic chamber or reverberation chamber. This
project is aimed to conducted the technique in an
unconditioned room or with minimum treatment. Some
reflective panels will be located around the measure object to
increase the diffuse field. Its effect to the measured result will
be analysed by comparing this with theory.

11 Investigation on a technique in separating To develop a technique to separate airborne and Scope of project titled Investigation on a technique in Dr Azma
airborne and structure-borne sources in a structure-borne sources in a car using sound separating airborne and structure-borne sources in a motor
motor vehicle using sound transmission loss. excitation. vehicle using sound transmission loss:

Low noise level inside the interior has become one parameter
to judge performance a car. The interior noise is transmitted
from two paths, i.e. from airborne and structure-borne.
Airborne noise is caused by noise propagation through air, for
example through leaking from passenger car compartment.
Meanwhile structure-borne noise is due to vibrating
components which then radiate noise, either caused by sound
or mechanical excitations. However, the first is dominant at
mid to high frequencies and the later dominates at low
frequencies.

The project is proposed to develop a simple technique to


separate the airborne and structure-borne noise using sound
excitation. The concept will be based on sound transmission or
insertion loss. Experiment will be conducted using loudspeaker
and a microphone positioned at the location of the passengers
ear inside a car.

The double-leaf partition is known as an important part of
modern lightweight structures such as aircraft fuselages, car
doors, windows and lightweight partition walls in buildings. The
project is aimed to first optimise the function of a hand-made
impedance tube, i.e. a device used to measure the
transmission loss of a partition. Experiment will then be carried
out to measure the transmission loss of a double-panel and
validate this data against the theory.

The project comprises 40% theory and 60% experiment.

structure-borne source based on mobility and impedance concepts from a structure-borne source:
b. To predict the uncertainty of the input power
due to location, phase and amplitude of the The treatment of structure-borne sound sources remains a
excitation force. challenging problem. Structural excitation to a building floor,
for example, by active components like pumps, compressors,
fans and motors is an important mechanism of noise
generation. Therefore an accurate prediction of the injected
input power from such sources is required.

The project is aimed to determine the vibration input power


from idealised sources, such as beam or plate. The input power
is a function of source and receiver mobilities and also free
velocity of the source. Idealised situation will be assumed
where the source mobility is much lower (rigid) or much higher
(flexible) than the mobility of the receiver. The variability of the
power will also be drawn due to forcing locations, phase and
amplitude.
