Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building structure vibration and noise control, and in particular to a rapid prediction method for noise in enclosed space structures. Background Technology

[0002] Structural noise is low-frequency sound waves (dominant frequency below 63Hz) generated by mechanical vibrations transmitted and radiated through building components (such as floor slabs and walls). Its wavelength can reach 5.4m, penetrating conventional sound insulation structures and forming standing wave resonances in enclosed spaces. Actual measurement data shows that floor structural noise caused by subway operation can reach 45-68 dB(A) at night, far exceeding the nighttime limit of 40 dB(A) for residential areas stipulated in the "Environmental Noise Quality Standard" (GB 3096-2008). Long-term exposure to this type of noise can lead to insomnia, anxiety, and decreased work efficiency. Statistics from a certain city's rail transit complaint system show that 72% of noise complaints are directly related to low-frequency structural noise.

[0003] Current mainstream finite element method (FEM) and boundary element method (BEM) require the establishment of a global vibration-acoustic coupled model, transferring data through mesh mapping. Taking a high-speed railway station as an example, it requires dividing into more than 5 million mesh elements, with a single full-frequency calculation taking 12 days (72-core server). Irregular structures (curved surfaces, irregular nodes) require repeated mesh adjustments, extending the preprocessing cycle by more than 40%. Although these methods have high theoretical accuracy, their modeling complexity and massive computational resource consumption severely restrict engineering applications. Most projects are forced to simplify the model due to the time consumption, resulting in inaccurate noise distribution predictions.

[0004] To address this, engineers have resorted to empirical formulas (such as the formulas recommended in the industry standard "HJ 453-2021 Technical Guidelines for Environmental Impact Assessment in Urban Rail Transit"), which rely solely on a single vibration velocity level to estimate sound pressure level. This approach neglects the influence of vibration acceleration distribution and changes in sound radiation efficiency, resulting in significant prediction errors for complex boundaries. This method fails to meet the stringent requirements for indoor acoustic environments stipulated in the "Green Building Evaluation Standard" (GB / T 50378-2019). Therefore, a rapid calculation method that balances efficiency and accuracy is urgently needed, compatible with existing test or simulation vibration data, enabling rapid response and controllable calculation precision. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a method for rapid prediction of noise in enclosed spatial structures with controllable accuracy.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A rapid method for predicting noise in enclosed space structures includes the following steps:

[0008] S1, discretizes each surface of the closed spatial structure as... Let there be an equivalent sound source region, and let the first... The coordinates of the center point of each equivalent sound source region are: The area is , =1~ ;

[0009] S2, calculate the first The center point and the point to be predicted of each equivalent sound source region distance :

The reverberation time of an enclosed space; For reference only; is the directivity correction coefficient for the i-th equivalent sound source region;

[0016] S5, based on the principle of energy superposition, combines the sound pressure levels of each equivalent sound source. The overall sound pressure level is:

[0017]

[0018] in, For reference sound pressure level, .

[0019] In step S3 above, the critical frequency The calculation formula is:

[0020] ,

[0021] in, The speed of sound in air; The first of the enclosed space structure The thickness of the surface of an equivalent sound source region; For the first The longitudinal wave velocity of vibration propagation in each equivalent sound source region, of which The first of the enclosed space structure The elastic modulus of an equivalent sound source region The first of the enclosed space structure The density of an equivalent sound source region The first of the enclosed space structure Poisson's ratio of an equivalent sound source region.

[0022] Preferably, for large building interior structures, f ≤ 200Hz.

[0023] In step S4 above, the reference value The calculation formula is:

[0024] ,

[0025] in, The volume of the enclosed space; The surface area that encloses the enclosed space.

[0026] In step S4 above, the directionality correction coefficient The calculation formula is:

[0027] ,

[0028] in, Equivalent sound source region The number of walls that the boundary contacts, and its value is an integer ranging from 0 to 3.

[0029] In step S4, the reverberation time T of the enclosed space can be obtained by querying the space according to its purpose or by calculating it according to the Sabine formula.

[0030] In step S4 above, the structural finite element software is Midas or Ansys.

[0031] The prediction method of this invention is applicable to the structural noise assessment of rooms inside large buildings such as stations, hospitals, and office buildings, and is especially applicable to noise control projects of buildings along rail transit lines, buildings above depots, and industrial plants.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] 1. This invention directly divides the equivalent sound source region, eliminating the cumbersome mesh matching and mapping process. It only requires inputting wall geometry parameters and vibration acceleration data to complete the prediction of the sound pressure level of the entire room in a short time. Compared with traditional methods, it improves efficiency by 98%, significantly shortens the design cycle, and significantly improves computational and design efficiency.

[0034] 2. By introducing an equivalent sound source region and a directivity correction coefficient, this invention accurately quantifies the sound radiation characteristics of complex surfaces, reflecting the impact of different surface vibrations on noise. The calculation accuracy is significantly improved compared to traditional empirical formulas (such as HJ 453-2021), providing technical support for structural noise prediction and control.

[0035] 3. This invention introduces the product of vibration velocity and the square root of area, ensuring that the total energy remains approximately constant under any discretization method. This avoids the shortcomings of traditional methods, such as coarse mesh overestimating local sound pressure, fine mesh underestimating energy concentration effect, and sound energy being affected by mesh density. This feature greatly reduces the dependence on engineers' meshing experience, enabling junior technicians to quickly obtain reliable results.

[0036] 4. This invention simplifies structural noise prediction through global modeling and energy correction, transforming it from a "high-threshold task" for professional acoustic teams into a "routine operation" for ordinary engineers while ensuring accuracy. It can be widely applied in fields such as architectural design, environmental impact assessment, and noise control engineering, and has significant industrialization and promotion value.
