Near-Field Beamforming Source Localization for Gear Transmission in a Semi-Anechoic Room

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, we discussed the sound sources localization and characterization for a spur gear transmission, which deals with a vibro-acoustic surveillance for predictive maintenance. The technique uses is based on the near-field Beam forming using Bartlett and Capon estimators. The measurements done on the gear transmission with a rectangular phased array of microphones were performed in acoustics and vibration laboratory (LVA) of the INSA of Lyon, in a semi-anechoic room. The gear transmission was considered sometimes open and sometimes closed. The results are presented as an image showing the acoustic field distribution radiated by the gear transmission at the most energetic frequencies. Both estimators have satisfactory results, but even better for the method with high resolution capon.
