Parameter Conversion between Controlled Pass-By Method and Alternative Close Proximity Method

Abstract

To shorten the measurement period and reduce experiment costs, we investigated the parameter conversion between the experiment results of the controlled pass-by (CPB) method and alternative close proximity (A-CPX) method for automotive applications. The CPB and A-CPX methods were used to experiment with tire noise. The correlation between the tire noises of the two experimental methods was analyzed. Then, the quantitative transformation relationship between the tire noises of the two methods was obtained using an acoustic radiation propagation experiment in the semi-free field. The results indicate a good linear correlation between the experimental results of the two experimental methods. In the case of ignoring the shielding effect of the car body, the average difference between the measured value of the CPB method and the predicted value of the experimental tire is about 1.1 dB. When considering the shielding effect of the car body, the average difference between the measured value of the CPB method and the predicted value of the experimental tire is about 2.7 dB.
