When agricultural machines are operated on pavements, the vibration and noise caused by the interaction between the tire lugs and the road surface are inevitable. In conventional studies, it is considered that the dynamic behavior of a rolling agricultural tire is influenced by the vibration characteristics of the tire. Resonance occurs when the lug excitation frequency of the tire, which is defined as the lug number multiplied by the number of revolutions of the tire, becomes equal to the natural frequency of the tire. In other words, the rolling tire shows large vibrations in the direction of the natural mode corresponding to the natural frequency of the tire. However, the vibration mode of the rolling tire in resonance state has not yet been clarified. In this study, it is confirmed that the dynamic behavior of the rolling tire can be evaluated by performing sound pressure measurements using closely located microphones to the tire. Further, the vibration mode in the resonance state is identified by performing simultaneous measurements of the sound pressure, and the vibration mode corresponds to the natural mode of the tire is confirmed as well.

The out-of-plane surface vibration of a brake disc during naturally excited squeal has been investigated using a combination of high-speed electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) and near-field sound pressure measurements. Both techniques provide visualization and quantification of the time-resolved surface velocity. A mathematical description of disc brake squeal modal behaviour is proposed that predicts accurately all of the experimentally observed interferometry and sound field measurements. The complex mode description proposed here is in agreement with that proposed by others for drum brake squeal. This assumes that two identical diametral modes are excited simultaneously, identical except for a spatial and temporal phase shift. The use of a near-field microphone array provided a convenient multipoint, non-contacting vibration probe which may find use in the study of other vibrations characterized by high surface amplitudes and efficient sound radiation. The high-speed ESPI provided a real-time visualization of surface deformation analogous to double- pulsed holographic interferometry, with the benefit of giving a true time series of the surface deformation during a single vibration cycle.

The standard method to determine the output level of acoustic and mechanical stimulation to the inner ear is measurement of vibration response of the stapes in human cadaveric temporal bones (TBs) by laser Doppler vibrometry. However, this method is reliable only if the intact ossicular chain is stimulated. For other stimulation modes an alternative method is needed. The differential intracochlear sound pressure between scala vestibuli (SV) and scala tympani (ST) is assumed to correlate with excitation. Using a custom-made pressure sensor it has been successfully measured and used to determine the output level of acoustic and mechanical stimulation. To make this method generally accessible, an off-the-shelf pressure sensor (Samba Preclin 420 LP, Samba Sensors) was tested here for intracochlear sound pressure measurements. During acoustic stimulation, intracochlear sound pressures were simultaneously measurable in SV and ST between 0.1 and 8 kHz with sufficient signal-to-noise ratios with this sensor. The pressure differences were comparable to results obtained with custom-made sensors. Our results demonstrated that the pressure sensor Samba Preclin 420 LP is usable for measurements of intracochlear sound pressures in SV and ST and for the determination of differential intracochlear sound pressures.

The Time Domain

Abstract This paper provides a non-contact approach to reconstruct the distributed or concentrated force applied to a plate in the time domain. This approach is based on sound pressure measurements and is realized by coupling the techniques of real-time near-field acoustic holography (RT-NAH) and force reconstruction. A microphone array is used to measure the sound pressures in the near field of the plate. The measured sound pressures are taken as the inputs of the RT-NAH to reconstruct the vibration responses, including the normal acceleration, velocity, and displacement, on the surface of the plate. With the reconstructed vibration responses, the equation of motion governing the forced vibration can be further processed to reconstruct the force applied to the plate in the time domain. In the process of reconstructing the vibration responses, a displacement–pressure impulse response function is derived for the first time and is used in the RT-NAH. Results of numerical simulations as well as experiments demonstrate that the proposed approach can identify the location of the force accurately and reconstruct the time history of the force effectively, thereby helping to diagnose the mechanical cause of the radiated noise.

Additive Increase

Abstract Background Environmental noise pollution has been identified as a cardiovascular risk and is characterized by moderate hypertension, endothelial dysfunction, increased oxidative stress, and inflammation. We have gained insights into the mechanism by which these consequences occur by exposing mice lacking the critical NADPH oxidase subunit gp91phox to aircraft noise. Mice were protected from the effects of aircraft noise exposure. NADPH oxidase is believed to be the mediator by which angiotensin II increases oxidative stress, making investigation into the additive effect of noise and hypertension an important subject in modern cardiovascular health research. Methods and results C57Bl/6J mice were implanted with subcutaneous osmotic mini-pumps, delivering a moderate dose of 0.5mg/kg/d of angiotensin II for 7 days. Immediately following the implantation, half the mice were exposed to aircraft noise for 7 days at a maximum sound pressure level of 85 dB(A) and a mean sound pressure level of 72 dB(A), a level at which hearing loss does not occur*. Non-invasive blood pressure measurements revealed an additive increase in blood pressure in noise-exposed hypertensive mice. Following sacrifice, endothelial dysfunction was evaluated through isometric tension recordings of 3mm aortic ring segments. These recordings support the blood pressure measurements and indicate a more serious impairment in acetylcholine-induced vasorelaxation in hypertensive mice exposed to noise than the hypertensive or noise only controls. Whole blood stimulated with phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) or zymosan A showed an additive increase in oxidative burst in in noise-exposed hypertensive mice. Dihydroethidium (DHE) staining was used to assess the presence of vascular and cerebral oxidative stress, showing similar additive effects in mice with hypertension plus noise exposure. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) measurement of 2-hydroxyethidium further confirmed additive increase of oxidative stress in the aorta and brain. Western blot analysis of aortic tissue revealed highest levels of gp91phox in mice with hypertension plus noise exposure and indicated a decrease in the ratio of P-eNOSSer1177:eNOS as well as a decrease in the ratio of eNOS dimer:monomer, exposing eNOS uncoupling as a potential pathomechanism for endothelial dysfunction and gp91phox as a source for the oxidative stress.Ongoing immunohistochemical and flow cytometric investigations will characterize the role of immune cells in these adverse effects. Conclusion Herein, we present novel data demonstrating additive noise-induced cardiovascular consequences on developing hypertension. Noise has previously been established as a cardiovascular risk factor, but the effects have not been determined in pre-existing or developing cardiovascular disease. Our results show a cumulative effect between noise exposure and hypertension and forge an important link between environmental stressors and cardiovascular health.
