Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to highlight the state of the art in duct acoustics by collecting research on the most relevant issues in the present and future applications of this topic.

The authors are invited to present research that underscores the significance of investigating duct acoustics for various applications involving ducted systems, and of developing effective strategies to minimize noise transmission. This Special Issue aims to emphasize the crucial role of duct acoustics in enhancing noise control, leading to improved operational efficiency, reduced acoustic pollution, and enhanced overall system performance. Understanding duct acoustics is vital for creating quieter and more efficient ducted systems across diverse industries and applications.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Topics of interest may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Numerical methods for acoustic systems simulation.
  • Acoustic design and optimization of acoustic systems.
  • Experimental procedures.
  • New methods for acoustic efficiency evaluation.
  • Metamaterials.
  • Passive noise control.
  • Active noise control.
  • Noise control of exhaustion systems.
  • Pulsation analysis and control of oil and gas pipeline systems.
  • Real-time digital twin.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Acoustic Emission (AE) testing is a non-destructive evaluation technique that has gained significant attention in pipeline monitoring. Pencil-lead breaks (PLBs) are commonly used in reproducing and characterising sensors used in AE applications and have emerged as a valuable tool for calibration processes. This technique involves breaking a pencil lead by pressing it on the surface of the test structure and applying a bending moment at a given angle on a surface. The applied force produces a local deformation on the test surface, which is released when the lead breaks. The fracture in these PLBs is assumed to be a step unload; however, this is not the case. In this work, a series of PLB source experiments complemented with parallel numerical simulations were carried out to investigate the actual unload rate by correlating the relationship between AE speed, frequency, and power from PLBs. This was achieved by varying the simulation unload rates recorded over a duration of 2 s on a steel pipe and comparing to the experiment. Analysis of the investigated results from the experimental and numerical models suggests that although the AE line structure of a PLB can be reproduced by simulation for short times only (1 µs), the actual unload rate for PLBs is in the region of 10–8 s. It is concluded that FEA has the potential to help in the recovery of the temporal structure from real AE structures. The establishment of this model will provide a theoretical basis for future studies on the monitoring of non-impulsive AE sources such as impact on pipelines using finite element analysis.

Considering the lack of studies on the transient vibro-acoustic properties of conical shell structures, a Jacobi–Ritz boundary element method for forced vibro-acoustic behaviors of structure is proposed based on the Newmark-β integral method and the Kirchhoff time domain boundary integral equation. Based on the idea of the differential element method and the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT), the vibro-acoustic model of conical shells is established. The axial and circumferential displacement tolerance functions are expressed using Jacobi polynomials and the Fourier series. The time domain response of the forced vibration of conical shells is calculated based on the Rayleigh–Ritz method and Newmark-β integral method. On this basis, the time domain response of radiated noise is solved based on the Kirchhoff integral equation, and the acoustic radiation characteristics of conical shells from forced vibration are analyzed. Compared with the coupled FEM/BEM method, the numerical results demonstrate the high accuracy and great reliability of this method. Furthermore, the semi-vertex angle, load characteristics, and boundary conditions related to the vibro-acoustic response of conical shells are examined. Full article
