چکیده
To address the problem of low frequency noise of the internal combustion engine, several existing muffler design methods, such as the theory of the quarter-wavelength tube and the Helmholtz muffler, were examined and compared. This paper proposes a new type of muffler design method, which has the advantages of both the quarter-wavelength tube and the Helmholtz muffler. An example is carried out to illustrate the analysis of original signal, the design of the new muffler and the improvement of the in-car noise. The transmission loss of the new muffler is studied by theoretical method and finite element method. The vehicle test of the new muffler demonstrates excellent performance with a wider noise elimination frequency band and smaller radial size.
