24、opellers (propfans) for both commercial and militaryapplications. Studies of the systems have indicated that theywill generate high noise levels, particularly at low frequencies,in the fuselage interiors. At the same time there has been anincreasing demand on the National Aeronautics and Space Admin

25、is-tration to provide technical support to the general aviationindustry, and one problem identified in this field is the reduc-tion of cabin noise levels. In an attempt to solve some of thecomplicated problems involved in the control of airplane interiornoise, NASA Langley Research Center embarked o

26、n an extensiveprogram to identify the important parameters associated withacoustic transmission (airborne and structureborne) into airplaneinteriors and to determine appropriate noise control methodswhich are acceptable with regards to weight and space. As a partof this program, an aircraft interior

(BBN), thepurpose being to undertake the required analyses and integratethe technologies and information needed to understand soundtransmission through a fuselage wall into an aircraft cabin, bothfor future development studies

28、 and for the immediate need ofaccurate prediction of interior levels (more properly stated,for prediction of the noise isolation characteristics of thefuselage structures). The effort has been divided into threephases. These are:-I-Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted

31、on tests, comparisons, refinements, anddocumentation of the finalized model and software.This report presents the results of the Phase I studies. Thebasic theoretical work required to understand sound transmissioninto an enclosed space (that is, one closed by the transmittingstructure) is developed

32、for random pressure fields and for har-monic (tonal) excitation. The analysis is used to predict thenoise reduction of the test article (i.e., the unpressurizedunstiffened cylinder) and, also, the interior response of thecylinder given a tonal (plane wave) excitation. Comparisons ofpredictions and m

33、easurements are made and a detailed analysis of-2-Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-the transmission is presented. This latter study is perhaps themost informative aspect of the exercise undertaken in Phase I.In addition to the above, r

36、HS-,-,-2.0 INTRODUCTIONThe present study has the specific goal of developing an analy-tical model which can be used to predict the sound levels in acylinder for several excitation inputs and interior configura-tions. However, this objective has to be viewed in terms of theoverall objective of the pr

37、ogram of which this present studyforms only the first phase. The complete program has the objec-tive of developing an analytical model to describe the soundfield inside an airplane cabin. Consequently, the analyticalmodel resulting from the present study must not only predict thesound levels in the

38、unstiffened and unpressurized test cylinder(which is an idealized fuselage structure), but it must beadaptable to the more complicated situation present in a realis-tic airplane fuselage. Only then can this study be viewed as afirst phase in the larger program.The two main efforts of Phase I are the

39、 construction of theanalytical models and the experimental validation of thosemodels on an unstiffened cylinder. The work effort underPhase I and envisaged for Phases Ii and III of the presentprogram can be considered in terms of the interior noise re-search and development program underway at Langl

40、ey ResearchCenter. This overall program is concentrating on two areas:(i) the accumulation of experimental data which can be incor-porated into a prediction methodology, and (2) development ofthe prediction methodology itself. The work has a bias towardsgeneral aviation aircraft.Interior noise level

41、s have been measure_ by Catherines andMayes I in single- and twin-engined propeller-driven lightaircraft. These studies define to a large extent the nature of-4-Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-the acoustic environment in light aircraf

42、t and establish the needfor analytical prediction methods which will eventually be use-ful in the design of quiet interiors. Sound levels in the cabinsof the aircraft were found to be dominated by propeller andengine exhaust noise, the spectra being essentially tonal innature. In 2 the measured exte

43、rior spatial distributions ofthe acoustic pressures showed the dominance of propeller noiseover the forward part of the fuselage, and exhaust noise over theaft part. Reduction of interior noise is clearly desirable sincelevels in light aircraft range from 85 to 105 dBA. Barton 3developed a method fo

44、r predicting interior noise in STOL aircraftand, utilizing a sidewall noise reduction model which likely isconservative, predicted levels of 90 - 105 dBA and 88 - 92 dBAin aircraft with USBF and EBF systems respectively.Howlett et al., 4 measured the noise reduction of a lightaircraft in a reverbera

45、nt room. Using the Cockburn and Jollymodel 5, a comparison of predicted and measured noise reduc-tion was made. Agreement was not very satisfactory.In addition to the above studies, a series of progressively morecomplicated analysis and data reduction investigations has beencompleted under LaRC spon

46、sorship. These include studies byKoval 6, 7, 8, Vaicaitis 9 and Rennison and Wilby I0,iiamong others.2.1 Candidate Approaches for Analytical ModelBefore developing an analytical model for the present study, itis useful to review the technology available and to considerits applicability to the Phase

47、I studies, and to subsequentPhase II and Phase III work. In general, it can be stated thatmuch of the technological base required for the prediction of-5-Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-the test cylinder response and acoustic radiatio

48、n is availablealready. Potential analytical techniques which could be usedfor the present predictions may be generally grouped into twocategories, each of which may be broken down further, basicallyin terms of computational schemes When making predictions,such as required here, with potentially high acoustic and struc-t_re modal densities, it is important to keep in mind that thechoice of computational scheme is significant in the overallproblem solving procedure. The two types of analyses
