Objective The hippocampal circuit integrity is crucial for learning and memory. Despite the existing reports on hippocampal–dependent memory impairment due to noise stress, there are only a few studies on the effect of noise stress on anatomical structure of hippocampus. The present study is aimed to investigate the likely effects of chronic noise exposure on the volume of rat hippocampus. Mate...

the evaluation and control of the trains induced vibrations needs even more attention in the case of underground tracks which passes near to monuments and historical sites. the rail corrugations which occur due to the wheels’ impulse loads during the operation period of underground railway tracks, usually amplify the ground borne noise and vibration. in the current study, the mentioned phenomen...

This research investigates a supporting structure with smart struts under crude vibration, in the aspect of their modeling and analysis. Particularly, in case of most rotorcrafts, structure-borne noise and vibration transmitted from the gearbox contains multiple spectral elements and higher frequencies, which include gear mesh frequencies and their side bands. In order to manage this issue, man...

This paper presents a new control structure to reduce torque ripple in switched reluctance motor. Although SRM possesses many advantages in motor structure, it suers from large torque ripple that causes some problems such as vibration and acoustic noise. In this paper another control loop is added and torque ripple is de ned as an objective function. By using fuzzy sliding mode strategy, the DC...

This paper explores the impact of airport noise regulation on airline service quality and airfares. It also characterizes the socially optimal stringency of noise limits, taking both noise damage and the various costs borne by airlines and their passengers into account. The analysis also investigates the effect of noise taxes, as well as the optimal level of such taxes. Along with the companion...

Abstract In this paper the methodology and results of validation a multi-physical system model direct drive wind turbine are presented. The analyzed serves purpose examining structure borne sound resulting from electromagnetic excitations inside turbine’s generator. To study accuracy to increase confidence in simulation results, an experimental is performed course work. Hereby, compared with da...

cially in homogeneous, even-aged plantation scenarios. Airborne imagery has mainly been used for detection of individual trees using local maxima filtering, as point spread function and signal-to-noise ratio are smaller than with satellite-borne imagery. This led to the development of a novel approach to local maxima filtering for tree detection in plantation forests in KwaZulu-Natal, South Afr...

An important problem in systems such as aerospace interiors, automobile passenger compartments and other cavities is the control of low frequency interior noise. Active control of this noise may offer a potentially better alternative to passive control due to constraints of weight and space. Active structural-acoustic control (ASAC) is considered as an attractive strategy especially for control...

This paper presents an axisymmetric rotational inertia shaker for reducing the structure borne noise radiated by rotating machinery. This modular inertia shaker uses a piezostack to generate a compensating force on a rotating element by accelerating a ring shaped mass. The piezostack is controlled using an adaptive shunt circuit, which emulates the impedance of a variable inductance. The inerti...
