Optimization of noisiness of mechanical system by using a pneumatic tuner during a failure of piston machine

Abstract

Abstract The stage of construction and operation of the machines requires monitoring of the steps causing negative effects on humans and environment in the form of noise during their use. Current technologies allow for appropriate optimization of mechanical systems as part of these machines. One possible optimization of the mechanical systems is considered to be the use of pneumatic tuners. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the effect of the pneumatic tuner on noisiness of mechanical system even in case of failure of mechanical drive part. Performed experimental measurement presents the change of noise in mechanical system by changing a pressure of gaseous medium in pneumatic tuner's compression space. The solution is an issue of appropriate mechanical tuning system when there is a change of dynamic parameters of the system and thus to change the entire mechanical system noise. Subsequent obtained results set out suggestions for the use of pneumatic tuners in mechanical systems in order to achieve the lowest possible noise during their operation mode.
