Abstract
Tyre cavity resonance noise is one kind of low-frequency and narrow-band noise that particularly affects the passengers inside the cabin of vehicle, especially when driving at a medium speed. In this paper, a noise reduction structure made of multiple resonators is proposed to reduce this type of noise. Based on the local resonance principle, the dimension of the resonator unit is determined by the tyre cavity resonance frequency. In order to obtain this characteristic frequency and the acoustic feature, the acoustic-structure coupling model of the tyre and cavity is established by the finite element method (FEM), and the modal frequency and shape of the tyre cavity are calculated and validated by the experimental results. Based on these analyses, the geometric and material parameters of the sound reduction structure are calculated to match the resonant frequency of the tyre cavity. A long belt filled with multiple resonators is designed to fit the profile of the tyre cavity, and simulations and experimental tests are conducted to investigate the noise reduction performance. The results show that the multiple resonators can significantly reduce the sound pressure inside the tyre cavity due to the vibroacoustic coupling effect. This paper provides a novel solution for reducing tyre cavity resonance noise.
