The paper presents the work on the problem of qualification of impulsive sounds for applying the adequate value of impulsive adjustment. Impulsive events must be included in the assessment of noise in Poland. There are no agreement for using the objective methods that could classify impulsive sounds on the basis of measurable physical characteristics of the impulses. Moreover, the arbitrary classification includes only a several specified sources. The paper presents the review of methods and criteria for qualification of the impulses, and provides the results of applying these methods on certain impulsive noise source – collision of the wagons.

A stochastic model of sound propagation in damping medium is proposed. It consists of: (1) Ito’s stochastic differential equation describing the sound propagation, (2) a potential which models the damping effects. However, due to presence of path integrals this model is elaborate and time consuming, hence inappropriate for numerical simulations and/or model calibrations. To make it simpler we usde the classical results of stochastic analysis; Feynman-Kac formula and Girsanov tansformation obtaining easy-to-use computational procedure for practical purposes.

Transmission towers are vital parts of the overhead power line infrastructures. Any damage to these supporting structures may result in decreased load-bearing capacity and, in consequence, their collapse. Failures of transmission towers are much more severe than power failures, as they not only cause interruption to the energy supply but can also result in considerable costs of infrastructure repairs and damage. Therefore, supporting structures of overhead power lines should be subjected to structural health monitoring. This paper presents a comprehensive database containing natural frequencies and strain energies of all elements for various (simulated) damage states. On the basis of structure modal parameters, by finding the correlation between natural frequencies of damaged structure stored in the created database and natural frequencies of the structure of interest, state of the test structure can be identified. In order to verify this method, a numerical experiment was carried out. Observing the strain energy variation as compared to the undamaged state makes it possible to localize the damage and assess its importance for the further structure exploitation.

The article deals with the analysis of active vibration control of a rotor which is supported by journal bearings. The oil film between the journal and bushing induces the rotor instability, which causes rotor vibrations if rotational speed is greater than a threshold of system stability. This phenomenon is very important for high-speed rotational machines for which restricts the operational range of the rotational speed. Therefore increasing the rotor stability threshold is very important for preventing rotor vibrations. The rotor instability results in lateral vibrations which do not conform to the forces of the unbalanced masses or other external forces. The frequency of the lateral vibration is slightly less than half of the rotational frequency. The main result of the article is the analytical determination of the influence of the setting of the PD type controller on the threshold of stability.

Nowadays the problems of interaction between solids and liquid under high and extremely high pressure are fairly relevant. So the main aim of presented research work is: creating the mathematical models and methods to investigate the interaction of bodies that include cracks filled with a compressible liquid or gas. The coupled problem of interaction of nonlinear elastic bodies and liquid of high pressure was considered. The pressure exerted by a liquid or gas present in the cavities of solids depends on the deformation of the body. In turn the deformation is caused by the pressure inside the cavity. The interaction between a deformable body and liquid is presented as a variational problem. The iterative splitting process of the coupled problem was proposed as well as the algorithm of numerical solution based on variational approach and finite element method. The software which allows calculating the stress state of an elastic body for some classes of problems was developed basing on the algorithm of splitting. The plane problem with cavity and solid stamp which imposes pressure on the boundary was considered and the numerical solution was computed using created software.

The authors focus their attention on the identification of the probability distribution density function of the sound level, which constitutes the basis for the proper statistical inferences and uncertainty assessments in the environment acoustical hazard control. Their functional form is a metric for the analysis of acoustical measurement results burdened with random errors. Its proper selection conditions the rightness of statistical inferences in relation to the analyzed noise effect. The problem of identification of the noise level probability distribution form was presented on the grounds of the sound L a level monitored at one of the main streets in Lublin. The analysis of differences and references to the normal distribution form, commonly applied to statistical analysis of the acoustical measurement results, was carried out. It is the aim of the authors, that the presented results should become the basis of a broader discussion concerning new estimation procedures of the controlled noise indicators and their uncertainty assessment. Also new verification procedures of the rightness of model acoustical formalisms, assumed in numerous environment acoustic investigations, are required.

This paper concerns the results of comparative research into the acoustical properties of rubber granulates derived from the recycling of conveyor belts production waste. In the process of recycling it is possible to obtain pure granulated rubber and forms contaminated with cotton fibres with a predominance of rubber grains or of cotton fabric. Rubber granulate in the contaminated form is characterized by sound-absorbing properties similar to those of the average-quality mineral wool and other fibrous materials. It can be used as the core of sound-absorbing panels in anti-noise protections. The research results can be used both in the design of acoustical protection as well as in the course of the recycling process of other waste products for obtaining materials with sound absorbing properties.

Light flexible structures are easily prone to vibrate due to external forces or due to forces generated in the inner structure. This situation is common in machinery or mechanical structures with rotational devices. The unwanted vibration of such structures can be compensated with the addition of piezoelectric actuators for active vibration control (AVC). The rejection of harmonic disturbances is frequently done with controllers based on the internal model principle. The goal of this research is to reduce the effect of harmonic disturbances with known (measured) time-varying frequencies acting on a system as well as to increase the damping of the system for the transient response (first mode of vibration). The experimental setup is made up of a slender aluminium flexible beam, a pair of piezoelectric actuators, an accelerometer and two DC motors, as well as the data acquisition and signal conditioning equipment. The harmonic disturbance is generated by DC motors. The control design utilizes an augmented description of the plant. The plant including the disturbance is modelled as a polytopic linear parameter-varying (pLPV) system. An observer-based gain-scheduling controller is calculated based on quadratic stability and the stability is guaranteed for the specified range of variation of the scheduling parameters, also restriction in the performance is introduced in the sense of the H 2 -norm. Experimental results show very good disturbance cancellation.

For decades people have used ambient energy, e.g., that of rushing streams or wind to obtain usable power. Starting with very low energy conversion, through constant development we have now reached the stage of extensive possibilities of harvesting the energy from the environment we live in. Today, there exist almost unconstrained opportunities to energize a broad spectrum of devices by energy available almost anywhere and of whichever form. One of the great advantages of energy harvesting is to make small electronic devices autonomous eliminating the need ofpower supply and maintenance. Shunt damping systems are unfavorably influenced by the size and mass of the coil inductors. While substituting bulky inductors with synthetic inductors one losses the passivity of the system gaining its practicability. Nevertheless, in order to outperform the actively driven systems, it is indispensable to return the passive properties of the system maintaining its performance. This paper presents the feasibility study ofpowering the passive shunt damping devices by the work that is lost irrevocably in a bearing node. The heat generated in a bearing is converted via the thermoelectric phenomenon and then used to power the synthetic inductance circuitry. In the paper it is shown that the required power levels can be satisfied by the thermoelectric generator paired to a moderately loaded bearing.
