Summary

For resiliently mounted machinery the sound transfer is not restricted to the path via the resilient mountings, Sound transfer is also possible via flanking paths such as via the air surrounding the machine, via liquid filled pipes, via flexible hoses, via the exhaust pipe and via a flexible shaft coupling. Part of a method to quantify the sound transfer via the flexible shaft coupling is to determine its acoustical transfer functions. In this paper a measurement method will be presented and limitations of the test rig will be discussed. Furthermore, some typical measurement results will be shown.
