Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sound field prediction methods in the field of noise, and in particular to a method for quickly predicting tire radiation noise on porous ground. Background Art
[0002] Predicting the acoustic radiation of tire structure vibration has always been the focus of research institutes and tire companies at home and abroad. However, most of the existing work is oriented towards the situation of flat ground. But in actual situations, the natural ground surface is usually porous, which means that only a part of the sound waves will be reflected on the ground, while the rest will be absorbed due to the interaction between the sound waves and the ground surface. In order to improve the accuracy of the sound field prediction in this half-space acoustic problem, it is necessary to introduce an accurate ground model for sound radiation calculation.
[0003] At present, the widely used methods for predicting half-space acoustic radiation are finite element method, finite difference method and boundary element method. Among them, finite element method and finite difference method are in-domain methods. They need to discretize the entire acoustic domain and solve the acoustic wave equation based on these discrete points. Although this method can provide more detailed field distribution information, it also brings a certain computational burden. For example, although the finite element method can adapt to complex geometric structures well and can flexibly adjust the grid density to improve local accuracy. However, for half-space problems, especially those involving porous ground, the finite element method may require very fine grid division to accurately capture the reflection and absorption characteristics of sound waves, which undoubtedly increases the computational cost. The finite difference method discretizes the partial differential equation and replaces the derivative with the difference quotient to solve the original equation at a series of discrete points. The advantage of this method is that it is relatively simple to implement and easy to understand and program. However, for scenes with inhomogeneous media or complex geometric shapes, the finite difference method may require a dense grid to ensure the accuracy of the solution. Especially when dealing with half-space problems, the porous nature of the ground requires the model to accurately reflect the changes in the actual boundary conditions, which places higher requirements on the grid. In contrast, the boundary element method, as a boundary method, only needs to discretize the boundary of the problem, rather than the entire domain. This method reduces the size of the computational domain, thereby reducing the amount of calculation. In addition, the boundary element method can accurately describe the porous characteristics of the ground by using the half-space Green's function, which is suitable for dealing with acoustic problems with complex boundary conditions.
[0004] In summary, for the prediction of sound radiation of rolling tire structures, scholars have proposed a variety of solution techniques that can be used to predict the sound field of tire radiation, including finite element method, finite difference method and boundary element method. These methods have improved the accuracy of prediction to a certain extent and provided a powerful tool for understanding the acoustic behavior of tires during movement. However, the existing research on the prediction of radiated noise of tires on porous ground is still insufficient, and there are many problems that need to be solved. On the one hand, the complex characteristics of porous ground make it difficult to directly apply traditional simulation methods used in free field environments to half-space conditions. On the other hand, due to the dynamic changes of the contact surface between the tire and the ground and its influence on the propagation path of sound waves, it becomes more complicated to accurately predict the radiated noise of tire structures on porous ground. Therefore, how to develop a more accurate prediction method for tire radiated noise based on the characteristics of porous ground has become an urgent problem to be solved in the current research field; in view of this, the present invention proposes a rapid prediction method for tire radiated noise on porous ground.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0054] The present invention proposes a method for rapid prediction of tire radiated noise on porous ground. First, the surface of the tire structure is meshed, and triangular units are used for discretization to ensure that all mesh units are located above the porous road surface model. Then, the triangular units divided from the tire surface are divided into near field and far field parts according to the distance from the nodes on the tire surface. For the near field part, the traditional boundary element method is used to establish the transfer relationship between the nodes for solution; while for the far field part, the fast multipole method is used to approximate the transfer relationship between the nodes. Subsequently, a simplified fast multipole expansion formula is derived based on the expansion of the half-space Green's function. The mirror relationship is used to avoid directly calculating the expansion coefficient in the mirror domain, thereby simplifying the implementation steps of the fast multipole algorithm. Finally, the acoustic variables on the unit obtained by the above solution and the sound field transfer relationship are used to realize the rapid prediction of tire radiated noise on porous ground. The half-space Green's function is used in the sound transfer relationship to take into account the influence of ground reflection, thereby improving the accuracy of the prediction.
