The effects of extending the inlet tube of the muffler, adding holes to the extension, and the number of holes on both transmission loss and noise reduction are investigated. In noise reduction analysis, the Navier-Stokes equations and k-ε model are used to study the unsteady turbulent flow. Helmholtz equation is solved for transmission loss analysis. The present study is validated with experimental data. Numerical results show a rise in noise reduction by extending the inlet tube of the muffler and increasing its length. Moreover, the extended mufflers cause more transmission loss and broadband behavior at some frequencies due to the resonances. According to the results, different points of view in the investigation of acoustic attenuation performance of mufflers can be helpful to understand more and better about the effect of geometrical parameters.}, keywords = {Transmission loss,Noise reduction,Reactive muffler,k-ε model,Helmholtz equation}, url = {https://tava.isav.ir/article_33304.html}, eprint = {https://tava.isav.ir/article_33304_f5754f8974e5aadcfbc9e035eebdddda.pdf} } @article { author = {Shafiei Alavijeh, Maryam and Soorgee, Mohammad Hossein}, title = {Experimental and numerical study of delamination detection in a WGF/epoxy composite plate using ultrasonic guided waves and signal processing tools}, journal = {Journal of Theoretical and Applied Vibration and Acoustics}, volume = {4}, number = {2}, pages = {141-152}, year = {2018}, publisher = {Iranian Society of Acoustics and Vibration and Avecina}, issn = {2423-4761}, eissn = {2783-0888}, doi = {10.22064/tava.2018.82451.1103}, abstract = {Reliable damage detection is one of the most critical tasks in composite plate structures. Ultrasonic guided waves are acknowledged as an effective way of structural health monitoring (SHM). In this research, ABAQUS FE package is employed in order to develop a 3D finite element (FE) model to investigate the wave propagating features in a four-layer Woven Glass fiber (WGF) /epoxy composite plate. Dispersion curves have been extracted using semi-analytical finite element (SAFEM) in MATLAB. An experimental study has been done to obtain the sensitivity of the excitation frequency on the delamination detection problem. The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Butterworth filtering and the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) signal processing methods have been utilized to extract a more accurate damage sensitive feature from experimental signals.Calculations of amplitude reduction ratio (ARR) for both raw and filtered signals shows that increasing the excitation frequency, which means decreasing the wavelength, leads to increase in the ARR in an approximately linear manner for raw signals, while using the filtered signals for ARR extraction yields higher ARR, peaked at the tuned Lamb mode, which is F=330 kHz in the study. The Butterworth filtering provides larger damage sensitive feature compared to CWT method. Consequently, the ARR is a reliable and enough sensitive feature for delamination detection in composite plates, especially when extracted from filtered signals}, keywords = {Delamination Detection,Composite plate,Ultrasonic guided waves,Amplitude Reduction Ratio}, url = {https://tava.isav.ir/article_33624.html}, eprint = {https://tava.isav.ir/article_33624_46ab46926b8426ae39a8850bb51998c8.pdf} } @article { author = {Nahvi, Hassan and Amani, Hosein and Tikani, Reza}, title = {Nonlinear vibration analysis of axially moving strings in thermal environment}, journal = {Journal of Theoretical and Applied Vibration and Acoustics}, volume = {4}, number = {2}, pages = {153-170}, year = {2018}, publisher = {Iranian Society of Acoustics and Vibration and Avecina}, issn = {2423-4761}, eissn = {2783-0888}, doi = {10.22064/tava.2018.91055.1114}, abstract = {In this study, nonlinear vibration of axially moving strings in thermal environment is investigated.

It means the structural plastic deformation increases asymmetrically in successive cycles under an earthquake excitation. Although it is generally recognized that DR is closely related to the frequency contents of an earthquake excitation applied to thestructure, no targeted analysis has been conducted on the influence of time- varying frequency content on occurrence and development of DR. This manuscript aims to analyze the influence of time evolution of DR-inducing ground motion frequency content on developed DR phenomenon in the Single Degree-Of-Freedom (SDOF) system with the Elastic-Perfectly-Plastic (EPP) hysteretic behavior. To survey the influence of time evolution of ground motion frequencycontent on the developed DR: In the first step, the three DR-inducing ground motion records were selected as excitations input of EPP SDOF systems. In the second step, time-varying frequency of ground motions were changed by shifting theirfrequency content  forward or backward in time using wavelet transform to produce altered versions records. In the final step, the displacement responses of EPP SDOF systems under selected records and their altered versions were compared. By analyzing the displacement response of EPP SDOF systems excited by selected ground motions and their altered versions, it can be found that the time-varying frequency content considerably influences the developed DR behavior in SDOF systems. In the selection of records for dynamic analysis of structures, time-varying frequency content could be further considered as an important characteristic variable for ground motion records.}, keywords = {Keywords: Dynamic Ratcheting,Time-varying frequency content,EPP SDOF system,Wavelet transform}, url = {https://tava.isav.ir/article_35345.html}, eprint = {https://tava.isav.ir/article_35345_95b24d016e24245d009e0e0ccea50c12.pdf} } @article { author = {Rahi, Abbas and Petoft, Hamed}, title = {Free vibration analysis of multi-cracked micro beams based on Modified Couple Stress Theory}, journal = {Journal of Theoretical and Applied Vibration and Acoustics}, volume = {4}, number = {2}, pages = {205-222}, year = {2018}, publisher = {Iranian Society of Acoustics and Vibration and Avecina}, issn = {2423-4761}, eissn = {2783-0888}, doi = {10.22064/tava.2019.89997.1113}, abstract = {In this article, the size effect on the dynamic behavior of a simply supported multi-cracked microbeam is studied based on the Modified Couple Stress Theory (MCST).  At first, based on MCST, the equivalent torsional stiffness spring for every open edge crack at its location is calculated; in this regard, the Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) is also considered for all open edge cracks.
