✦ Synopsis

Structure-borne sound transmission is a complex phenomenon, the accurate measurement of which requires advanced techniques. A multi-dimensional substitution source method is presented by which structure-borne sound transmission paths can be quanti"ed in practical situations where it is not possible to dismount the paths. The paper illustrates, by means of two examples, that reasonable results can be obtained using a suitable choice of force and response positions that are accessible in a practical situation. Additionally, techniques for quantifying con"dence intervals are developed. Results are presented for the application of the method to sound transmission along realistic laboratory models of a ship drive shaft and a #uid-"lled piping system. It is shown that the use of such a multi-degree-of-freedom approach to mechanical substitution sources is essential in the applications considered. For the drive shaft, the transmission through a bearing can be reproduced satisfactorily by two excitation degrees of freedom, but for the pipe even six was insu$cient. Finally, numerical simulations are used to demonstrate that this is a result of transmission through the water within the pipe and that use of more excitation degrees of freedom would allow it to be taken into account.

There is increasing evidence that moments are signi®cant contributors in machine induced structure-borne sound. Omission of these components in prediction can therefore lead to an underestimate of total power in some cases, although it is recognised that considering all transmission paths in predict

The analysis of structure-borne sound transmission is obscured by the complicated nature of the dynamic interaction between source and receiver at each contact point. There is little measured data because of the practical dif®culties in directly measuring forces and moments at the contacts. This is

For the last decade, numerous studies have focused on the positive or toxic effects of nitric oxide (NO) in procaryotic and eucaryotic cells. This gas has fundamental roles in neurotransmission, vasodilatation, cytotoxicity, and intestinal motility. The ability to produce NO by intestinal microflora
