  • Patent number: 6882945
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and program for estimating noise generation for a synchronous belt having a length and teeth spaced along the belt length. The method includes the steps of: calculating belt displacement transversely to the belt length at or near a first location at which teeth on the belt mesh with teeth on a first cooperating toothed pulley; calculating a belt fluctuation velocity by correlating the belt displacement to a time frame; and calculating a radiated sound pressure level using the belt fluctuation velocity.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5165627
    Abstract: The present invention is drawn to an improvement in the configuration of an inner lining plate of an aircraft fuselage wall, which will result in the sound transmission loss (TL) of the inner lining plate to occur in a frequency range covering the frequencies of external noises such as propeller sound, such that external noises transmitted from the inside of the aircraft fuselage can be reduced. The improvement resides in that a tensile rigidity in the circumferential direction of a substantially cylindrical fuselage wall inner lining plate is less than the tensile rigidity in the axial direction thereof. In this respect, the inner lining plate is provided with a large number of parallel crests extending in the axial direction.
