CONSIDERATIONS ON ACTIVE REDUCTION NOISE, TREATMENT AND CONTROL DESIGN PERFORMANCE AT DIESEL GENERATOR
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2011, Vol 56, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper discusses the methodology and results of a noise audit and active control testing on a portable single-cylinder diesel generator. Using a large microphone array, a spectral intensity map of all external surfaces of the generator set was constructed from experimental measurements. Two primary noise sources were measured: a relatively directional high-frequency structurally-coupled engine component, and low-frequency fundamental exhaust firing-order harmonics. The lowfrequencies were reduced using the feed-forward Filtered-X LMS with a reference derived directly from the electrical generator coupled to the diesel engine.

REACTION FORCES IN PARALLEL MECHANISM PAIRS
To calculate the links dimensions of a parallel mechanism, is necessary to determine the distribution of forces from its kinematic pairs. Also, the performance of such a mechanism can be evaluated after calculating the d...

EVOLUTION OF EUROCODE 3 – AMENDMENTS TO EN 1993-1-5 FOR PLATE BUCKLING
Starting in 2010 the European Commission initiated the process of evolution of the first generation of Eurocodes. Based on Mandates M/466 EN and M/515 EN, CEN/TC250 created several expert groups which deal with this evol...
CHECKING ROBUSTNESS FOR A CONCRETE ROADWAY VIADUCT
Experts’ pursuits in constructions are connected now with the structural robustness’ notions and how to prevent the partial, full or disproportioned collapse. The question: “What is robustness?” has by far no unitary and...
