Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to noise control, and more specifically to an optimization design method for the layout of a noise-reducing porous material layer on the surface of a sound cavity. Technical Background

[0002] In engineering, noise control of acoustic cavity structures has always been a research focus. For example, for automobiles, the whole vehicle acoustic cavity and tire acoustic cavity are hot spots in the study of automobile NVH performance. The acoustic cavity structure is similar to other structural systems, with modal frequencies and modal vibration shapes. When the external excitation frequency is close to the characteristic frequency of the acoustic cavity system, resonance will occur, exacerbating the noise problem of the acoustic cavity. Laying porous sound-absorbing materials or sound-absorbing structures on the boundary of the acoustic cavity is a commonly used method in engineering to suppress acoustic cavity noise. The traditional method is to completely lay sound-absorbing materials on the boundary of the entire acoustic cavity system. However, this method will not only increase the cost of noise reduction, but also bring significant additional weight to the structure. More importantly, this method often cannot achieve the best vibration reduction and noise reduction effect. Summary of the invention

The present invention uses the imaginary part of the characteristic frequency as a quantitative index for the sound absorption effect of the noise-reducing porous material. This method avoids the possible simplifying assumptions or errors in the traditional evaluation method, making the evaluation of the sound absorption effect more scientific and accurate. Taking the imaginary part of the characteristic frequency as the objective function of topology optimization makes the optimization result more reliable and more in line with the actual requirements of sound absorption performance.

[0043] 2. The present invention transforms the non-linear eigenvalue problem, which is complex to calculate and difficult to solve, into a linear eigenvalue problem through the contour integration method, greatly simplifies the calculation process, improves the solution efficiency, and improves the accuracy and reliability of the solution result. The above optimization problem is iteratively solved by the moving asymptote method, combining the contour integration method and the moving asymptote method, providing a new idea for the optimal design of acoustic structures and enriching the theory and method system of acoustic design.

[0044] 3. The present invention can be applied to any complex acoustic cavity structure. While ensuring the sound absorption performance, it can reduce the usage amount of noise-reducing porous materials, which is beneficial to saving materials and reducing the weight of products, providing a new method for the layout optimization of attaching noise-reducing porous materials to the surface of the acoustic cavity. This optimized layout method is an innovative breakthrough in traditional acoustic design, can significantly improve the acoustic performance, and meets the higher standard noise reduction requirements.

[0057] Step 3: Calculate the damping matrix of the rth two-dimensional element in the three-dimensional acoustic cavity geometric model by using Equation (3): :

[0059] In Equation (3), represents the area differential of the h-th two-dimensional element; is the Y-th order diagonal matrix of the h-th two-dimensional element, and each diagonal element in represents the acoustic impedance at each node in the h-th two-dimensional element, [ ] − 1 represents the inverse matrix of the matrix, represents the vector composed of the finite element shape functions at each node in the h-th two-dimensional element.

[0060] Step 4: Use Equation (4) to obtain the updated element damping matrix of the th two-dimensional element , so that the updated element damping matrices of H two-dimensional elements form the overall element damping matrix of dimension 6266×6266 :

[0066] Step 6: Perform variable substitution on Equation (5), so as to obtain the constraint conditions of the topology optimization model using Equation (6):

[0067] (6)

[0068] In Equation (6), is the eigenvalue of the three-dimensional acoustic cavity geometry model; is the eigenvector of the three-dimensional acoustic cavity geometric model.

[0069] Step 7: Equivalent the noise-reducing porous material attached to the boundary region area S of the three-dimensional acoustic cavity geometric model to an impedance boundary condition, so as to obtain the constraint condition of the impedance boundary of the topology optimization model by using Equation (7):

[0070] (7)

[0071] In Equation (7), is the acoustic impedance of the noise-reducing porous material on the boundary region area S; x represents any point on the boundary region area ; represents the outer normal direction at point x, represents the sound pressure at point x, and i is the imaginary unit; is the material medium density inside the three-dimensional acoustic cavity geometric model, set to .

[0072] Step 8: Use Equation (8) to construct two constraint conditions of the topology optimization model of the three-dimensional acoustic cavity geometric model;

[0075] Step 9: Use Equation (9) to construct the objective function F of the topology optimization model:

[0076] (9)

[0077] In Equation (9), is the first-order characteristic frequency of the three-dimensional acoustic cavity geometric model, is the imaginary part of.

[0078] Step 10: Define the current iteration number as w, and initialize w = 0. Initialize the artificial density of the h-th two-dimensional element at the w-th iteration , the laying area of the noise-reducing porous material at the w-th iteration is ;

[0079] Step 11: According to , use Equation (4) to obtain the overall element damping matrix at the w-th iteration , so as to obtain the constraint condition of the topology optimization model at the \(w\)th iteration by using equations (5) and (6);

[0080] Step 12: Solve the constraint condition at the \(w\)th iteration by the contour integration method to obtain the laying area of the noise-reducing porous material at the \(w\)th iteration as the characteristic frequency at and its corresponding modal vibration mode as Figure 3 shown, and the sensitivity information of .

[0081] Step 13: Use the moving asymptote iterative optimization algorithm to perform the \((w + 1)\)th solution on the topology optimization model to obtain the artificial density of the \(h\)th two-dimensional unit at the \((w + 1)\)th iteration and the laying area of the noise-reducing porous material ;

[0082] Step 14: Judge whether equation (11) holds. If it holds, it means that is the optimal laying area of the noise-reducing porous material on the surface of the three-dimensional acoustic cavity model. Otherwise, after assigning \(w + 1\) to \(w\), return to execute Step 11 and execute sequentially;

[0083] (11)

[0084] In equation (11), is the allowable value, which is set to \(1e - 8\).

[0085] When the above conditions are met, the optimization ends, and the optimization results are as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown. It can be seen from the figure that as the optimization design progresses, the coverage area of the sound-absorbing material gradually reaches 40%, and the imaginary part of the first-order characteristic frequency increases rapidly and then tends to be stable. The result of 60 iterations is as Figure 4 shown in part (e) of . It can be seen that the distribution of the sound-absorbing material presents an ideal 0-1 distribution. At this time, the first-order characteristic frequency of the acoustic cavity is \(1.17178 + 0.092i\), and the imaginary part of the characteristic frequency reaches 104.97% of that when the sound-absorbing material is fully covered. Since the imaginary part of the characteristic frequency represents the damping loss and can be used to characterize the noise reduction performance of the sound-absorbing material, the final result shows that after the topology optimization of the material layout, better vibration and noise reduction performance is obtained with only 40% of the original material.

[0086] In this embodiment, an electronic device includes a memory and a processor. The memory is used to store a program that supports the processor to execute the above method, and the processor is configured to execute the program stored in the memory.

[0087] In this embodiment, a computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program thereon, and when the computer program is run by a processor, it executes the steps of the above method.
