Resynchronization of tonal acoustic field in multi-pass non-stationary microphone array measurements
Résumé
The geometrical limitations of microphone arrays as well as the unavailability of multiple channel data ac-
quisition systems or their incurred costs fundamentally challenge the sound source identification in acoustic
imaging. This can be solved by sequentially scanning the object of study with a moving array with or without
fixed references and requires the sound field to be stationary. In rotating machines, the generated vibroacoustic
phenomena during a run-up or coast-down are non-stationary, and conventional resynchronization techniques
cannot be directly implemented. To solve this problem, this study proposes a novel approach called Angu-
lar Speed Resynchronization (ASR). The orders from several sequential measurements are first extracted us-
ing time domain order tracking techniques, then synchronized into a single data set over which order based
beamforming (OBBF) is performed. OBBF is an acoustic imaging technique that aids in the identification of
non-stationary tonal sources. Given that the radiated sound field is determined for a given angular speed, the
complex envelopes in the data set are realigned with respect to speed as if they were obtained from the same
measurement with a full array. The proposed method is evaluated using an experimental data set collected from
an induction motor. The approach demonstrates the capability of OBBF to accommodate with non-synchronous
measurements during variable operating speed.
