On the design and optimization of acoustic network resonators for tire/road noise reduction

摘要

In this work we propose a numerical method for the calculation of resonant frequencies of network resonators and we also present an optimization method based on genetic algorithms to get targeted resonant frequencies of the network resonators. We can optimize parameters of the network structure such as junction types and end positions. Experiments are conducted on optimized wooden network resonators to validate the method. Good agreement is found between the measured and targeted resonant frequencies. Applications to tire/road noise are considered. (C) 2017 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
