Abstract
In the present work, a procedure for estimating an engine-platform-dependent transfer matrix that relates cylinder pressures to radiated sound pressures resulting from the combustion process is developed based on multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) system analysis in conjunction with cross-spectral measurements. The measurement scheme comprises a set of pressure transducers flush mounted to the engine cylinders and field microphones at locations of interest. To-date, the empirical prediction of diesel engine combustion noise has usually been achieved by combining a cylinder pressure with a single, smoothed structural attenuation function. In comparison, the proposed procedure provides the structural attenuation characteristics in the form of a transfer matrix specific to a particular engine, thus allowing more accurate prediction by accounting fully for inter-cylinder correlation and cylinder-to-cylinder variation. The procedure is demonstrated by the application to a six-cylinder diesel engine
