Abstract

To obtain the transmitted structure-borne power from a vibrating machine into a supporting/connected structure, three quantities are required in some form: source activity (either the free velocity or the blocked force), source mobility and receiver mobility. The three quantities can be measured directly, or indirectly using a reception plate method. Whilst direct measurements can be precise, they require extensive data acquisition and processing. The reception plate method is simpler and less precise and therefore yields an engineering grade of accuracy. This paper reports on a collaborative investigation, towards developing an industrial standard for source characterization using the reception plate method. The method yields data as frequency band-averaged values and also as equivalent single values. These simplifications result in uncertainties when obtaining the source quantities and therefore in predictions of the structure-borne sound power in installed conditions. The causes of these uncertainties are considered.
