Efficient Computational Techniques for Evaluating Distance-Dependent Head-Related Transfer Functions Acoust. Aust. (IF 1.7) Pub Date : 2022-02-23 Ganesh Kailas, Nachiketa Tiwari
This work proposes and validates two computational tools for synthesizing distance-dependent head-related transfer function (HRTF), which is vital in spatial sound reproduction. HRTF is an anthropometric feature-dependent function that yields the direction-dependent gain of the auditory system. Even though it is subject to the distance of the auditory source, distance-dependent HRTF measurement is

The Helmholtz equation has been used for modeling the sound pressure field under a harmonic load. Computing harmonic sound pressure fields by means of solving Helmholtz equation can quickly become unfeasible if one wants to study many different geometries for ranges of frequencies. We propose a machine learning approach, namely a feedforward dense neural network, for computing the average sound pressure

Due to the flexibility of the towed line array, shear currents caused by an internal solitary wave (ISW) distort the array shape. This will lead to a mismatch between the conventional target detection algorithm and the array shape, resulting in a significant decline in the performance of the towed line array gain, azimuth resolution, etc. Based on the improved motion model of towed cable constructed

A Helmholtz Resonator-Based Acoustic Metamaterial for Power Transformer Noise Control Acoust. Aust. (IF 1.7) Pub Date : 2021-10-07 Sharafkhani, Naser
Controlling low-frequency noise propagated by power transformers in urban and industrial areas poses a technical challenge in the design of sound absorbers. Although existing acoustic metamaterials are largely successful as single-band absorbers, they are far from optimal approaches to absorb power transformer noise. As a common method of providing multi-band absorbers, the parallel configuration of
