Multi-Objective Optimization Tool for Noise Reduction in Axial Piston Machines

摘要

Noise generation in axial piston machines can be attributed to two main sources; fluid borne and structure borne. Any attempt towards noise reduction in axial piston machines should focus on simultaneous reduction of these two sources. A multi-parameter, multi-objective optimization approach to design valve plates to reduce both sources of noise for pumps which operate in a wide range of operating conditions has been detailed in a previous work. The focus of this paper is to explain the background and to demonstrate the functionality and usefulness of the methodology for pump design.
