Sound Source Identification and Acoustic Contribution Analysis Using Nearfield Acoustic Holography

Abstract

The main goal of the present paper is to provide a method of source identification. Firstly, statistically optimal near-field acoustical holography (SONAH) techniques are applied to locate sound sources with the reflected sound field. In the presence of reflection plane parallel and perpendicular to the source plane, the incoming wave and reflected waves are separated based on the acoustic superposition principle and acoustic mirror image principle to satisfy the condition of the sound sources reconstruction using SONAH. Secondly, contribution of noise source to the special field point is analyzed and noise source ranking of interior panel groups are evaluated based the proposed three step acoustic contribution method. Finally, this method is verified experimentally.
