1 Introduction

The internal combustion engine as power heart is widelyused in ships vehicles and other means of transportationWith the development of internal combustion engine toheavy load high speed and light direction its vibration noiseproblem is becoming more and more serious which hasbecome themain vibration noise source of ships and vehiclesBy reducing the level of vibration and noise of the internalcombustion engine the working performance of the internalcombustion engine can be improved and the peoplersquos livingenvironment can be ameliorated [1] In order to draw upthe vibration and noise reduction program of the internalcombustion engine the first step is to accurately separate andidentify the noise sources of the internal combustion engineMany parts of the internal combustion engine can producenoise According to the source of the internal combustionengine the noise can be divided into mechanical noisecombustion noise and aerodynamic noise [2ndash4] Mechanicalnoise mainly includes piston slap noise air valve knock

noise gear meshing noise and fuel injection pump noiseCombustion noise is caused by the change of the cylinderpressure Aerodynamic noise includes intake noise exhaustnoise and fan noise

Currently there are many scholars who utilised the cyclicWiener filtering method [5] blind source separation method[6ndash8] improved spectrofiltermethod [9] speed-varying filter[10] and othermultichannelmethods to separate and identifythe noise sources of the internal combustion engine

When the multichannel method is adopted to separateand identify the noise sources of the internal combustionengine the multiple channel noise signals of the internalcombustion engine need to be measured However in theactual engineering test by the limit of cost and installationconditions it is necessary to use a few sensors to achievethe same noise source separation effect Therefore scholarsstudied the single channel method to separate and identifythe noise sources of internal combustion engine For exampleZhang et al [11] adopted the ensemble empirical mode de-composition the coherent power spectrum analysis and the

improved analytic hierarchy process to separate and identifythe noise sources of the diesel engine Bi et al [12] utilised theEEMD-RobustICAmethod to separate the combustion noisepiston slap noise and exhaust noise of the gasoline engine

When the above single channel method is employed toseparate and identify the noise source of the internal combus-tion engine the first step is to decompose the single channelnoise signal by the EEMD algorithm However EEMD-based single channel method has many defects [13ndash15] TheEMD algorithm lacks rigorous mathematical derivation TheEEMD algorithm is required to add Gaussian white noisebefore each step of the EMD algorithm Therefore the cal-culation cost of the EEMD algorithm is very large Moreoverwhen the EEMD algorithm is applied to decompose the noisesignal the endpoint effect and modal aliasing problems willalso exist In recent years empirical wavelet transform (EWT)[16] variational mode decomposition (VMD) [17] and therelated improved methods are proved to be useful and bettertools to decompose the signal For example Yao et al [18]utilised variationalmode decomposition and robust indepen-dent component analysis to separate the noise source of dieselengine Moreover these methods are widely used in bearingfault diagnosis [19ndash21]

In the real world the human auditory system can distin-guish the mixed speech signals in a noisy environment Atpresent there are many scholars establishing the computa-tional auditory scene analysis model and algorithm based onthe human ear hearing system to separate and identify themixed speech signals [22] The speech signals and the radi-ated noise signals of the internal combustion engine belongto the separable aliasing sound signalsThus the noise sourceof the internal combustion engine can be separated andidentified by the human ear hearing model Moreover theGammatone filter bank is a widely used human ear hearingmodel [23ndash26] Therefore the Gammatone hearing filterbank can be introduced into the separation and identificationof the internal combustion engine noise sources

In this paper the lead covering method is utilised toisolate the noise interference from 1 to 5 cylinders with onlythe number 6 cylinder part left bare The WP10-240 six-cylinder four-stroke high speed internal combustion enginevibration and noise test are carried out in a semianechoicchamber The Gammatone-RobustICA method is proposedto separate and identify the combustion noise and the pistonslap noise of the number 6 cylinder

The paper is organized as follows In Section 2 basictheory methods (such as the cochlear basement membranemodel the Gammatone filter bank and the robust indepen-dent component analysis) are described In Section 3 thesimulation analysis is carried out In Section 4 an internalcombustion engine noise and vibration test is introduced InSection 5 separation and identification methods are adoptedto separate and identify the noise sources of an internalcombustion engine Finally Section 6 presents conclusions

2 Basic Theory

21 Cochlear Basement Membrane Model of the Auditory Sys-tem The human auditory system includes the auditory

periphery and the auditory center [27 28] The auditoryperiphery consists of outer ear middle ear and inner earThe inner ear consists of semicircular canal vestibule andcochlear implant The speech signals are through the outerear middle ear and ear bone to the cochlear The cochleartransforms the mechanical energy of sound waves to neuralcoding signals and through the auditory nerve into theauditory center Then the hearing will be produced

In the auditory system the cochlear as the human audi-tory receptor is one of the most important parts The soundsignal processing of the human ear is achieved by the fre-quency decomposition of cochlear basement membrane Itcannot only convert different frequencies of the sound signalsinto different basement membrane positions but also switchdifferent sound intensity into different basement membranevibration amplitude Thus the cochlear can complete thecoding according to the sound frequency and the soundintensity

In the auditory model a set of overlapping band-passfiltersrsquo bank is usually used to simulate the cochlear basementmembrane Suppose there are119873 filters The 119894th filter is ℎ(119905 119894)The response of the basement membrane to the signal 119909(119905) isdefined as follows

119910 (119905 119894) = 119909 (119905) lowast ℎ (119905 119894) (1)

where 119910(119905 119894) is the output of the basement membrane lowastrepresented the convolution

The characteristic of the Gammatone filter bank is highlyconsistent with the auditory characteristic which can wellsimulate the basement membrane frequency selectivity andspectral analysis characteristics Thus the Gammatone filterbank is widely adopted as the cochlear basement membranemodel

22 Gammatone Filter Bank TheGammatone filter bank is astandard cochlear auditory filter [29 30] It can simulate theband-pass filter characteristics of the basement membraneThe center frequency of each filter is logarithmically evenlydistributed on the frequency axis Suppose the center fre-quency of the 119894th filter is 119891119894 The time domain expression ofthe Gammatone filter is

119892119891119894 (119905) = 119905119873minus1 exp (minus2120587119861119905) cos (2120587119891119894119905 + 120593119894) 119906 (119905) (2)

where 119873 is the filter order 119891119894 is the filter center frequency120593119894 is the phase of the filter due to the phase of the soundsignals having small influence for hearing thus the phase 120593119894is usually set as zero 119906(119905) is the unit step function 119861 is theattenuation factor of filter It determines the decay rate of theimpulse response which is related to the bandwidth of thefilterThe bandwidth of the auditory band-pass filter dependson the center frequency It usually adopted the equivalentrectangular bandwidth (ERB) The calculation formula is

119861 = 1019ERB (119891119894) = 1019 (247 + 0108119891119894) (3)

Figure 2 A common blind source separation process

23 Robust Independent Component Analysis The blindsource separation method is a powerful signal processingmethod [31] It can extract and recover the original signalswhich cannot be directly observed from several observedmixed signals Due to the fact that the source signal isunknown and unobserved and themixed system characteris-tics are unknown or only a small amount of prior knowledgeis known in advance it is a challenge to use the blind sourceseparation method to separate the source signals

Suppose the signals collected by the sensors are 119909(119896) =[1199091(119896) 1199092(119896) 119909119899(119896)]

119879 Then it is needed to find an in-verse system to reconstruct the original signals 119904(119896) =[1199041(119896) 1199042(119896) 119904119899(119896)]

119879 The output expression is

119910 (119896) = 119882119909 (119896) = 119882119860119904 (119896) (4)

A common blind source separation process is shown inFigure 2

The independent component analysis (ICA) is an impor-tant method to solve the blind source separation problemsThe FastICA algorithm is a widely used blind source sepa-ration algorithm which is proposed by the Hyvarinen [32]The FastICA algorithm has high convergence speed andreliability It is cubic convergence However it has some limi-tationsWhen the source signal spatial correlation is high theFastICA algorithm will have not good separation results andthe kurtosis based on higher order cumulant has its owndefects in the field value To solve these problems Zarzoso

and Comon [33] proposed the RobustICA algorithm whichhas excellent blind source separation effect The RobustICAalgorithm utilised the kurtosis as the objective functionThe kurtosis is an indicator to evaluate the non-Gaussiancharacteristic of the analysed signal The kurtosis is definedas

Suppose the observed signal is 119883 The RobustICA algo-rithm does not need to carry out the whitening processfor the observed signal It only requires the mean value ofthe observed signal which is zero By RobustICA algorithmthe unmixed signal is 119910 = 119908119879119883 The specific calcula-tion process of the RobustICA algorithm is shown as fol-lows

Step 1 Counter 119899 = 1 Suppose the number 119873 of sourcesignals is the same with the number of observed signals

Step 2 119908119899 is randomly assigned as the initial value119908119899(0) andthe norm is 1 The number of iteration steps 119896 is set as 1

Step 3 Calculate the polynomial 119901(120583) = sum4119896=0 119886119896120583119896 The

largest root of the objective function is obtainedThe calcula-tion formula is 120583opt = argmax120583|119896(119908 + 120583119892)|

Step 4 Update the separation matrix 119908+119899 (119896) = 119908119899(119896 minus 1) +120583opt119892 And normalize 119908119899(119896) = 119908119899(119896)119908119899(119896)

Step 5 Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until the |119908119899(119896)119879119908119899(119896 minus 1)| is

sufficient and less than 1

Step 6 Orthogonal 119908+119899 = 119908119899 minus 119882119882119879119908+119899 Normalize 119908119899(119896) =119908119899(119896)119908119899(119896)

Step 7 Make 119899 = 119899 + 1 Then go back to Step 2 for nextiteration until 119899 = 119873

24 Calculation Process of Gammatone-RobustICA MethodFor the measured single channel radiated noise signals theGammatone-RobustICA method is utilised to separate andidentify the noise sources First the different mode compo-nents of the measured signals are extracted by the Gamma-tone filter bank Because these different mode componentsare not always independent of each other thus the blindsource separation technique is still needed to further dealwith the separated signal components to extract the indepen-dent components Then the correlation coefficient betweenthe mode components and the measured signal is calculatedThe mode components which have a higher correlation coef-ficient with the measured signal are retained The retainedmode components and the measured signal are combinedtogether to form a new signal group The RobustICA al-gorithm is used to extract the independent componentsFinally the obtained separation results are further identi-fied through the spectral analysis the continuous wavelettransform (CWT) the coherence function method and thedrag test of internal combustion engine The calculationflow of the Gammatone-RobustICA method is shown inFigure 3

3 Simulation Analysis

In order to illustrate the performance of the Gammatone-RobustICAmethod some typical signals are selected to carryout the simulation analysis by MATLABThe selected typicalsignals (1198781 1198782 and 1198783) are shown as follows

1198781 = cos (2120587 ∙ 49 ∙ 119905)

1198782 = cos (2120587 ∙ 115 ∙ 119905)

1198783 = cos (2120587 ∙ 201 ∙ 119905)

119878 = 1198781 + 1198782 + 1198783

the IC2 has some difference with the 1198782 This can be seenfrom the red circle in Figure 5(b) Thus it can be consideredthat Gammatone-RobustICA method has a better separationeffect than EWT-RobustICA method

4 Experimental Investigation

41 Test Platform The noise and vibration test of internalcombustion engine are carried out in a fully enclosed semi-anechoic chamber The size of the semianechoic chamber islength 704m timeswidth 679m times height 595mThe free soundfield radius is not less than 2 meters and the backgroundnoise is 18 dB

Test bench contains theWP10-240 type high speed dieselengine transmission shaft Germanyrsquos Siemens 1PL6 ACmotor console and other related accessories The specificparameters of the WP10-240 type high speed diesel engineare shown in Table 1

The internal combustion engine has six cylinders It willproduce many vibration and noise sources It is very difficultto directly separate all the noise sources of the internalcombustion engine Therefore the lead covering method isutilised to isolate the noise from the numbers 1ndash5 cylindersand only the number 6 cylinder parts are exposed The noisesource of the specified number 6 cylinder is separated andidentified The lead cover of the internal combustion engineis shown in Figure 6

sources of the internal combustion engine at the rated speedHowever in the internal combustion engine test benchthe coupling equipment of the internal combustion enginehas some problems The internal combustion engine cannotreach the rated speed In the test the actual speed of theinternal combustion engine is 2100 rpm

Moreover when the internal combustion engine is in dragcondition the internal combustion engine will not producethe combustion noise and will only produce the mechanicalnoise However it is difficult to measure the independentpiston slap noise because many moving parts of an internalcombustion engine will produce noise According to therelevant knowledge of internal combustion engine whenthe piston impacts the inner wall of the cylinder it willproduce the vibration and then the vibration will furtherproduce piston slap noise Thus the frequency of the pistonslap vibration can be utilised to assess the accuracy of theseparated piston slap noise The test conditions of internalcombustion engine are shown in Table 2

43 Measuring System and Measuring Point ArrangementThe vibration and noise measuring system of internal com-bustion engine is shown in Figure 7 The measuring systemincludes the NI 9234 and NI 9205 acquisition module thatthe highest sampling rate can be up to 512 kHzThe LC0158Taccelerometers are adopted to measure the cylinder headvibration and the piston slap vibration that the sensitivityis 30mVg the range is 166 g and the frequency range is0ndash15 kHz The type of the cylinder pressure sensor is Kistler7013C that the range is 25MPa with a single channel chargeamplifier 5018A1000 The DGO9767CD electret microphoneis applied to measure the noise signals that the sensi-tivity is 50mVPa and the frequency response range is20Hzndash20 kHz

Figure 8 Measured position of piston slap vibration

In fact due to the limitation of the test conditions itis difficult to measure the independent combustion noiseAccording to the related knowledge of internal combustionengine the combustion noise is related to the drastic changeof cylinder pressure Drastic change of cylinder pressure cancause vibration of cylinder head and body surface and thenthe vibration will produce the combustion noise Thus thecorrelation function of cylinder pressure and cylinder headvibration can be used to determine the frequency of thecombustion noise and then further evaluate the accuracy ofseparated combustion noise

Due to the fact that the structure of internal combustionengine and movement trajectory of piston are known beforethus the place of the piston slap occurring can be determinedaccording to the structure of internal combustion engine andmovement trajectory of piston The measured position of thepiston slap vibration is corresponding to the position that thepiston impacts the inner wall of the cylinder The measuredposition of the piston slap vibration is shown in Figure 8

In the test the highest frequency of the internal combus-tion engine radiated noise is below 8000Hz According tothe sampling theorem the sampling frequency is greater thantwice the highest frequency of the analysed signals Thus thesampling frequency can be set to 256 kHz

The number 6 cylinder is set as the research objectWhen the internal combustion engine is in 2100 rpm and no-load condition the cylinder pressure signals (1199011) cylinderhead vibration acceleration signals (119886) and the cylinder bodyside near-field radiated noise signals (1199012) are measured It isshown in Figure 10

5 Separation and Identification ofthe Near-Field Radiated Noise

In this part the Gammatone-RobustICA method and theEWT-RobustICA method are respectively used to separateand identify the noise sources of the cylinder body side near-field radiated noise

In the process of the noise and vibration test the mea-sured noise signalmay have random error components whichwill affect the subsequent calculation results In order toreduce the random error components the pretreatment suchas eliminate trend items and slip average is carried out onthe measured noise signal The preprocessed noise signal isshown in Figure 11

51 Gammatone-RobustICA Method When the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method is utilised to separate and identifythe noise source of the internal combustion engine the firststep is to design an appropriate Gammatone filter bank toextract various mode components of the preprocessed noisesignal It is necessary to predefine the two important param-eters of the Gammatone filter bank the center frequencyrange and the number of channels For the center frequencyrange on the one hand the frequency range of humanaudible sounds is 20Hzndash20 kHz On the other hand thefrequency range of the internal combustion engine radiatednoise is usually below 8000Hz Thus the center frequencyof the Gammatone filter bank is set to 20Hzndash8000Hz Forthe number of channels of the Gammatone filter bank onthe one hand considering the calculation accuracy and thecomputing costs the higher the number of channels is thehigher the accuracy of the calculation is and the higher thecost of the computation is thus the number of channels ofthe Gammatone filter bank should not be too much On theother hand according to the related knowledge of internalcombustion engine the noise sources of internal combustionengine are combustion noise piston slap noise air valveknock noise gear meshing noise fuel injection pump noiseand so forth After considering these factors the number ofchannels of the Gammatone filter bank is set to 11

By the Gammatone filter bank the mode componentsfrom the preprocessed noise signal can be obtained Thedecomposition results are shown in Figure 12

In order to improve the efficiency of the calculation themode components with large correlation with the prepro-cessed noise signal need to be selected to carry out the nextstep calculation

Suppose the correlation coefficient between the modecomponents and the preprocessed noise signal is 119903119894 (119894 =1 2 119899) 119899 is the number of the mode componentsCorrelation coefficient 119903 is defined as follows

119903119883119884 =cov (119883 119884)

radic119863 (119883)radic119863 (119884) (7)

where 119883 represents the source signal 119884 represents the sepa-ration component cov(119883 119884) represents the covariance of 119883and 119884 119863(119883) and 119863(119884) represent the variance of 119883 and 119884respectively

According to Pearson correlation coefficient theory [34]the correlation coefficient is in the range of minus1 to +1 If thecorrelation coefficient is greater than zero there is a positivecorrelation between the two variables On the contrarythere is a negative correlation In general if the correlationcoefficient is greater than 03 the two variables are correlated

Figure 12 Decomposition results by the Gammatone filter bank

In order to select the mode components the threshold 120582is set to determine whether the mode component is retainedor not But the internal combustion engine has many noisesources and there are many noise disturbances in the mea-surement process Thus if the threshold of the correlationcoefficient is set to 03 the selected mode components will beless and the separated independent noise source informationwill not be sufficient In order to obtain more sufficientindependent noise source information in the actual study thethreshold of the correlation coefficient needs to be set smallerHere the threshold of the correlation coefficient is defined asfollows

120582 =max (119903119894)

120578 119894 = 1 2 119899 (8)

where 120578 is the ratio factor and 120578 is set to 100The calculation results of the correlation coefficient

between the mode components and the preprocessed noisesignal are shown in Table 3

From Table 3 it can be seen that the maximum correla-tion coefficient is 01256 Thus if the correlation coefficientis more than 001256 it should be retained On the contraryif the correlation coefficient is less than 001256 it should betaken out Through analysing it can be determined that m2m3m4m5m6m7m9 andm11 should be retained andm1m8 andm10 should be taken out

Due to the fact that the retained mode components arenot always independent of each other the RobustICA algo-rithm needs to be used to extract the independent compo-nents The retained mode components and the preprocessed

According to the relevant knowledge of internal combus-tion engine the fuel combustion in the cylinder can causedrastic pressure change in the cylinder and it caused the com-bustion noise Thus the combustion noise is high frequencysignal Through analysing the nine components the IC6 isthe high frequency signalThus it can be preliminarily judgedthat the IC6 component is the combustion noise

Shock and Vibration 9

The mechanical noise of internal combustion engine isusually below 3500Hz [35] Through analysing the Robus-tICA calculation results the frequency of IC9 is below3500Hz Thus it can be preliminarily judged that the IC9component is the piston slap noise

Apart from IC6 and IC9 as for the rest 7 componentsthey may be the air valve knock noise gear meshing noisefuel injection pump noise or other noise sources Ideally allthe noise sources of the internal combustion engine should beseparated and identified However since the noise sources areseriously mixed with each other it is difficult to separate andidentify all the noise sources and they need further researchFor example the air valve knock noise is mainly caused bythe impact of valve opening and closing and timing of valveopening and closing can be determined according to thetiming of inlet and exhaust of internal combustion engineMoreover through arranging the vibration sensor and theacoustic sensor near the valve and combining the timing ofvalve opening and closing the air valve knock noise can befurther studied The gear meshing noise is generated by thecollision and friction between teeth during the gear meshingprocess Every turn of the gear can produce the collisionand friction thus the gear meshing noise can be furtherstudied The fuel injection pump noise is mainly caused bythe oil pressure change during the oil spraying process Thefuel injection pump noise can be studied through oil injec-tion pressure and burning time of internal combustion en-gine

Considering that combustion noise and piston slap noiseare the main noise sources of internal combustion enginethus the paper is mainly on the separation and identificationof combustion noise and piston slap noise

TheFFT (Fast Fourier Transform) andCWT(ContinuousWavelet Transform) are combined to further identify the sep-aration results The calculation results are shown in Figures14 and 15 The correlation function of cylinder pressure andcylinder head vibration is shown in Figure 16

From Figure 14 it can be seen that the frequency ofIC6 component focuses on 4025Hz and the time domainwaveform of IC6 component has great change at 390∘CAFrom Figure 14(c) the frequency energy is large aroundthe 390∘CA and it is mainly concentrated around 4000HzAccording to the prior knowledge of the internal combustionengine the ignition sequence of the internal combustionengine is 1-5-3-6-2-4 The ignition angle of the number 6cylinder is around 390∘CA Due to the fact that the number1ndash5 cylinders are covered by lead the frequency energyof the number 6 cylinder is bigger than the number 1ndash5cylinders Moreover from Figure 16 cylinder pressure andcylinder head vibration have a good correlationnear 4000HzThe combustion noise is mainly caused by the change ofcylinder pressure Near 4000Hz themain information aboutcombustion noise is includedThus it can be determined thatthe IC6 component is the combustion noise

From Figure 15 it can be seen that the frequency of IC9component focuses on 1725Hz Combined with Figure 16the correlation function of cylinder pressure and cylinderhead vibration is not good near 1725Hz From Figure 15(c)the frequency energy is huge around the 390∘CA It is

to decompose the preprocessed noise signal The calculationresults are shown in Figure 19

After the preprocessed noise signal is decomposed bythe EWT algorithm empirical modal components can beobtained But it may have some false empirical modal com-ponents Thus it is necessary to remove the false empir-ical modal components Hence the correlation coefficientbetween empirical modal components and preprocessednoise signal is utilised to determine whether the empiricalmodal component is removed or not The correlation coef-ficient between empirical modal components and prepro-cessed noise signal is shown in Table 4

From Table 4 it can be seen that the maximum value ofthe empiricalmodal components is 08532Thus if the empir-ical modal components are less than 008532 it should beremoved Therefore F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 and F9 should beremovedThen the remaining F1 and F2 and the preprocessednoise signal are combined together to form a new signalgroup The RobustICA algorithm is utilised to extract the

53 Comparison Discussion When adopting the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method to separate the combustion noiseand piston slap noise the calculation results are shown inFigures 14 and 15 The frequencies of combustion noise andpiston slap noise are concentrated at 4025Hz and 1725Hzrespectively When utilising the EWT-RobustICA methodthe separated combustion noise and piston slap noise areshown in Figures 21 and 22 Comparing Figure 14 withFigure 21 it can be seen that there are many other frequencycomponents except for the 4025Hz components in Figure 21Comparing Figure 15 with Figure 22 it can be seen thatthere are many other frequency components except for the1725Hz components in Figure 22 Moreover from Figure 17the IC9 spectrum is consistent with the piston slap vibra-tion spectrum while in Figure 23 the IC2 spectrum hassome difference with the piston slap vibration spectrumTherefore compared with the EWT-RobustICA method theGammatone-RobustICAmethod can get more pure combus-tion noise and piston slap noiseTheGammatone-RobustICAmethod has a better separation and identification effect thanthe EWT-RobustICA method

6 Conclusions

(1) In the aspect of the internal combustion engine test thelead covering method is adopted to wrap the numbers 1ndash5cylinders and only the number 6 cylinder parts are exposedIt can effectively insulate the interference noise from thenumbers 1ndash5 cylinders Thus it is conducive to separating

and identifying the noise sources of the specified number 6cylinder

(2) Inspired by the human auditory system the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method is proposed to separate and iden-tify the combustion noise and the piston slap noise Com-pared with the EWT-RobustICA method the proposedGammatone-RobustICA method has a better separationeffect The separation results obtained by the Gammatone-RobustICA method have very fewer other interference com-ponents

improved analytic hierarchy process to separate and identifythe noise sources of the diesel engine Bi et al [12] utilised theEEMD-RobustICAmethod to separate the combustion noisepiston slap noise and exhaust noise of the gasoline engine

When the above single channel method is employed toseparate and identify the noise source of the internal combus-tion engine the first step is to decompose the single channelnoise signal by the EEMD algorithm However EEMD-based single channel method has many defects [13ndash15] TheEMD algorithm lacks rigorous mathematical derivation TheEEMD algorithm is required to add Gaussian white noisebefore each step of the EMD algorithm Therefore the cal-culation cost of the EEMD algorithm is very large Moreoverwhen the EEMD algorithm is applied to decompose the noisesignal the endpoint effect and modal aliasing problems willalso exist In recent years empirical wavelet transform (EWT)[16] variational mode decomposition (VMD) [17] and therelated improved methods are proved to be useful and bettertools to decompose the signal For example Yao et al [18]utilised variationalmode decomposition and robust indepen-dent component analysis to separate the noise source of dieselengine Moreover these methods are widely used in bearingfault diagnosis [19ndash21]

In the real world the human auditory system can distin-guish the mixed speech signals in a noisy environment Atpresent there are many scholars establishing the computa-tional auditory scene analysis model and algorithm based onthe human ear hearing system to separate and identify themixed speech signals [22] The speech signals and the radi-ated noise signals of the internal combustion engine belongto the separable aliasing sound signalsThus the noise sourceof the internal combustion engine can be separated andidentified by the human ear hearing model Moreover theGammatone filter bank is a widely used human ear hearingmodel [23ndash26] Therefore the Gammatone hearing filterbank can be introduced into the separation and identificationof the internal combustion engine noise sources

In this paper the lead covering method is utilised toisolate the noise interference from 1 to 5 cylinders with onlythe number 6 cylinder part left bare The WP10-240 six-cylinder four-stroke high speed internal combustion enginevibration and noise test are carried out in a semianechoicchamber The Gammatone-RobustICA method is proposedto separate and identify the combustion noise and the pistonslap noise of the number 6 cylinder

The paper is organized as follows In Section 2 basictheory methods (such as the cochlear basement membranemodel the Gammatone filter bank and the robust indepen-dent component analysis) are described In Section 3 thesimulation analysis is carried out In Section 4 an internalcombustion engine noise and vibration test is introduced InSection 5 separation and identification methods are adoptedto separate and identify the noise sources of an internalcombustion engine Finally Section 6 presents conclusions

2 Basic Theory

21 Cochlear Basement Membrane Model of the Auditory Sys-tem The human auditory system includes the auditory

periphery and the auditory center [27 28] The auditoryperiphery consists of outer ear middle ear and inner earThe inner ear consists of semicircular canal vestibule andcochlear implant The speech signals are through the outerear middle ear and ear bone to the cochlear The cochleartransforms the mechanical energy of sound waves to neuralcoding signals and through the auditory nerve into theauditory center Then the hearing will be produced

In the auditory system the cochlear as the human audi-tory receptor is one of the most important parts The soundsignal processing of the human ear is achieved by the fre-quency decomposition of cochlear basement membrane Itcannot only convert different frequencies of the sound signalsinto different basement membrane positions but also switchdifferent sound intensity into different basement membranevibration amplitude Thus the cochlear can complete thecoding according to the sound frequency and the soundintensity

In the auditory model a set of overlapping band-passfiltersrsquo bank is usually used to simulate the cochlear basementmembrane Suppose there are119873 filters The 119894th filter is ℎ(119905 119894)The response of the basement membrane to the signal 119909(119905) isdefined as follows

119910 (119905 119894) = 119909 (119905) lowast ℎ (119905 119894) (1)

where 119910(119905 119894) is the output of the basement membrane lowastrepresented the convolution

The characteristic of the Gammatone filter bank is highlyconsistent with the auditory characteristic which can wellsimulate the basement membrane frequency selectivity andspectral analysis characteristics Thus the Gammatone filterbank is widely adopted as the cochlear basement membranemodel

22 Gammatone Filter Bank TheGammatone filter bank is astandard cochlear auditory filter [29 30] It can simulate theband-pass filter characteristics of the basement membraneThe center frequency of each filter is logarithmically evenlydistributed on the frequency axis Suppose the center fre-quency of the 119894th filter is 119891119894 The time domain expression ofthe Gammatone filter is

119892119891119894 (119905) = 119905119873minus1 exp (minus2120587119861119905) cos (2120587119891119894119905 + 120593119894) 119906 (119905) (2)

where 119873 is the filter order 119891119894 is the filter center frequency120593119894 is the phase of the filter due to the phase of the soundsignals having small influence for hearing thus the phase 120593119894is usually set as zero 119906(119905) is the unit step function 119861 is theattenuation factor of filter It determines the decay rate of theimpulse response which is related to the bandwidth of thefilterThe bandwidth of the auditory band-pass filter dependson the center frequency It usually adopted the equivalentrectangular bandwidth (ERB) The calculation formula is

119861 = 1019ERB (119891119894) = 1019 (247 + 0108119891119894) (3)

Figure 2 A common blind source separation process

23 Robust Independent Component Analysis The blindsource separation method is a powerful signal processingmethod [31] It can extract and recover the original signalswhich cannot be directly observed from several observedmixed signals Due to the fact that the source signal isunknown and unobserved and themixed system characteris-tics are unknown or only a small amount of prior knowledgeis known in advance it is a challenge to use the blind sourceseparation method to separate the source signals

Suppose the signals collected by the sensors are 119909(119896) =[1199091(119896) 1199092(119896) 119909119899(119896)]

119879 Then it is needed to find an in-verse system to reconstruct the original signals 119904(119896) =[1199041(119896) 1199042(119896) 119904119899(119896)]

119879 The output expression is

119910 (119896) = 119882119909 (119896) = 119882119860119904 (119896) (4)

A common blind source separation process is shown inFigure 2

The independent component analysis (ICA) is an impor-tant method to solve the blind source separation problemsThe FastICA algorithm is a widely used blind source sepa-ration algorithm which is proposed by the Hyvarinen [32]The FastICA algorithm has high convergence speed andreliability It is cubic convergence However it has some limi-tationsWhen the source signal spatial correlation is high theFastICA algorithm will have not good separation results andthe kurtosis based on higher order cumulant has its owndefects in the field value To solve these problems Zarzoso

and Comon [33] proposed the RobustICA algorithm whichhas excellent blind source separation effect The RobustICAalgorithm utilised the kurtosis as the objective functionThe kurtosis is an indicator to evaluate the non-Gaussiancharacteristic of the analysed signal The kurtosis is definedas

Suppose the observed signal is 119883 The RobustICA algo-rithm does not need to carry out the whitening processfor the observed signal It only requires the mean value ofthe observed signal which is zero By RobustICA algorithmthe unmixed signal is 119910 = 119908119879119883 The specific calcula-tion process of the RobustICA algorithm is shown as fol-lows

Step 1 Counter 119899 = 1 Suppose the number 119873 of sourcesignals is the same with the number of observed signals

Step 2 119908119899 is randomly assigned as the initial value119908119899(0) andthe norm is 1 The number of iteration steps 119896 is set as 1

Step 3 Calculate the polynomial 119901(120583) = sum4119896=0 119886119896120583119896 The

largest root of the objective function is obtainedThe calcula-tion formula is 120583opt = argmax120583|119896(119908 + 120583119892)|

Step 4 Update the separation matrix 119908+119899 (119896) = 119908119899(119896 minus 1) +120583opt119892 And normalize 119908119899(119896) = 119908119899(119896)119908119899(119896)

Step 5 Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until the |119908119899(119896)119879119908119899(119896 minus 1)| is

sufficient and less than 1

Step 6 Orthogonal 119908+119899 = 119908119899 minus 119882119882119879119908+119899 Normalize 119908119899(119896) =119908119899(119896)119908119899(119896)

Step 7 Make 119899 = 119899 + 1 Then go back to Step 2 for nextiteration until 119899 = 119873

24 Calculation Process of Gammatone-RobustICA MethodFor the measured single channel radiated noise signals theGammatone-RobustICA method is utilised to separate andidentify the noise sources First the different mode compo-nents of the measured signals are extracted by the Gamma-tone filter bank Because these different mode componentsare not always independent of each other thus the blindsource separation technique is still needed to further dealwith the separated signal components to extract the indepen-dent components Then the correlation coefficient betweenthe mode components and the measured signal is calculatedThe mode components which have a higher correlation coef-ficient with the measured signal are retained The retainedmode components and the measured signal are combinedtogether to form a new signal group The RobustICA al-gorithm is used to extract the independent componentsFinally the obtained separation results are further identi-fied through the spectral analysis the continuous wavelettransform (CWT) the coherence function method and thedrag test of internal combustion engine The calculationflow of the Gammatone-RobustICA method is shown inFigure 3

3 Simulation Analysis

In order to illustrate the performance of the Gammatone-RobustICAmethod some typical signals are selected to carryout the simulation analysis by MATLABThe selected typicalsignals (1198781 1198782 and 1198783) are shown as follows

1198781 = cos (2120587 ∙ 49 ∙ 119905)

1198782 = cos (2120587 ∙ 115 ∙ 119905)

1198783 = cos (2120587 ∙ 201 ∙ 119905)

119878 = 1198781 + 1198782 + 1198783

From Figures 4 and 5(a) it can be seen that the IC1 IC2and IC3 are respectively corresponding to 1198781 1198782 and 1198783The results obtained by Gammatone-RobustICA method aresimilar to the time domain waveforms of the source signals

the IC2 has some difference with the 1198782 This can be seenfrom the red circle in Figure 5(b) Thus it can be consideredthat Gammatone-RobustICA method has a better separationeffect than EWT-RobustICA method

4 Experimental Investigation

41 Test Platform The noise and vibration test of internalcombustion engine are carried out in a fully enclosed semi-anechoic chamber The size of the semianechoic chamber islength 704m timeswidth 679m times height 595mThe free soundfield radius is not less than 2 meters and the backgroundnoise is 18 dB

Test bench contains theWP10-240 type high speed dieselengine transmission shaft Germanyrsquos Siemens 1PL6 ACmotor console and other related accessories The specificparameters of the WP10-240 type high speed diesel engineare shown in Table 1

The internal combustion engine has six cylinders It willproduce many vibration and noise sources It is very difficultto directly separate all the noise sources of the internalcombustion engine Therefore the lead covering method isutilised to isolate the noise from the numbers 1ndash5 cylindersand only the number 6 cylinder parts are exposed The noisesource of the specified number 6 cylinder is separated andidentified The lead cover of the internal combustion engineis shown in Figure 6

sources of the internal combustion engine at the rated speedHowever in the internal combustion engine test benchthe coupling equipment of the internal combustion enginehas some problems The internal combustion engine cannotreach the rated speed In the test the actual speed of theinternal combustion engine is 2100 rpm

Moreover when the internal combustion engine is in dragcondition the internal combustion engine will not producethe combustion noise and will only produce the mechanicalnoise However it is difficult to measure the independentpiston slap noise because many moving parts of an internalcombustion engine will produce noise According to therelevant knowledge of internal combustion engine whenthe piston impacts the inner wall of the cylinder it willproduce the vibration and then the vibration will furtherproduce piston slap noise Thus the frequency of the pistonslap vibration can be utilised to assess the accuracy of theseparated piston slap noise The test conditions of internalcombustion engine are shown in Table 2

43 Measuring System and Measuring Point ArrangementThe vibration and noise measuring system of internal com-bustion engine is shown in Figure 7 The measuring systemincludes the NI 9234 and NI 9205 acquisition module thatthe highest sampling rate can be up to 512 kHzThe LC0158Taccelerometers are adopted to measure the cylinder headvibration and the piston slap vibration that the sensitivityis 30mVg the range is 166 g and the frequency range is0ndash15 kHz The type of the cylinder pressure sensor is Kistler7013C that the range is 25MPa with a single channel chargeamplifier 5018A1000 The DGO9767CD electret microphoneis applied to measure the noise signals that the sensi-tivity is 50mVPa and the frequency response range is20Hzndash20 kHz

Figure 8 Measured position of piston slap vibration

In fact due to the limitation of the test conditions itis difficult to measure the independent combustion noiseAccording to the related knowledge of internal combustionengine the combustion noise is related to the drastic changeof cylinder pressure Drastic change of cylinder pressure cancause vibration of cylinder head and body surface and thenthe vibration will produce the combustion noise Thus thecorrelation function of cylinder pressure and cylinder headvibration can be used to determine the frequency of thecombustion noise and then further evaluate the accuracy ofseparated combustion noise

Due to the fact that the structure of internal combustionengine and movement trajectory of piston are known beforethus the place of the piston slap occurring can be determinedaccording to the structure of internal combustion engine andmovement trajectory of piston The measured position of thepiston slap vibration is corresponding to the position that thepiston impacts the inner wall of the cylinder The measuredposition of the piston slap vibration is shown in Figure 8

In the test the highest frequency of the internal combus-tion engine radiated noise is below 8000Hz According tothe sampling theorem the sampling frequency is greater thantwice the highest frequency of the analysed signals Thus thesampling frequency can be set to 256 kHz

In this part the Gammatone-RobustICA method and theEWT-RobustICA method are respectively used to separateand identify the noise sources of the cylinder body side near-field radiated noise

In the process of the noise and vibration test the mea-sured noise signalmay have random error components whichwill affect the subsequent calculation results In order toreduce the random error components the pretreatment suchas eliminate trend items and slip average is carried out onthe measured noise signal The preprocessed noise signal isshown in Figure 11

51 Gammatone-RobustICA Method When the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method is utilised to separate and identifythe noise source of the internal combustion engine the firststep is to design an appropriate Gammatone filter bank toextract various mode components of the preprocessed noisesignal It is necessary to predefine the two important param-eters of the Gammatone filter bank the center frequencyrange and the number of channels For the center frequencyrange on the one hand the frequency range of humanaudible sounds is 20Hzndash20 kHz On the other hand thefrequency range of the internal combustion engine radiatednoise is usually below 8000Hz Thus the center frequencyof the Gammatone filter bank is set to 20Hzndash8000Hz Forthe number of channels of the Gammatone filter bank onthe one hand considering the calculation accuracy and thecomputing costs the higher the number of channels is thehigher the accuracy of the calculation is and the higher thecost of the computation is thus the number of channels ofthe Gammatone filter bank should not be too much On theother hand according to the related knowledge of internalcombustion engine the noise sources of internal combustionengine are combustion noise piston slap noise air valveknock noise gear meshing noise fuel injection pump noiseand so forth After considering these factors the number ofchannels of the Gammatone filter bank is set to 11

By the Gammatone filter bank the mode componentsfrom the preprocessed noise signal can be obtained Thedecomposition results are shown in Figure 12

In order to improve the efficiency of the calculation themode components with large correlation with the prepro-cessed noise signal need to be selected to carry out the nextstep calculation

Suppose the correlation coefficient between the modecomponents and the preprocessed noise signal is 119903119894 (119894 =1 2 119899) 119899 is the number of the mode componentsCorrelation coefficient 119903 is defined as follows

where 119883 represents the source signal 119884 represents the sepa-ration component cov(119883 119884) represents the covariance of 119883and 119884 119863(119883) and 119863(119884) represent the variance of 119883 and 119884respectively

According to Pearson correlation coefficient theory [34]the correlation coefficient is in the range of minus1 to +1 If thecorrelation coefficient is greater than zero there is a positivecorrelation between the two variables On the contrarythere is a negative correlation In general if the correlationcoefficient is greater than 03 the two variables are correlated

Figure 12 Decomposition results by the Gammatone filter bank

In order to select the mode components the threshold 120582is set to determine whether the mode component is retainedor not But the internal combustion engine has many noisesources and there are many noise disturbances in the mea-surement process Thus if the threshold of the correlationcoefficient is set to 03 the selected mode components will beless and the separated independent noise source informationwill not be sufficient In order to obtain more sufficientindependent noise source information in the actual study thethreshold of the correlation coefficient needs to be set smallerHere the threshold of the correlation coefficient is defined asfollows

120582 =max (119903119894)

120578 119894 = 1 2 119899 (8)

where 120578 is the ratio factor and 120578 is set to 100The calculation results of the correlation coefficient

between the mode components and the preprocessed noisesignal are shown in Table 3

From Table 3 it can be seen that the maximum correla-tion coefficient is 01256 Thus if the correlation coefficientis more than 001256 it should be retained On the contraryif the correlation coefficient is less than 001256 it should betaken out Through analysing it can be determined that m2m3m4m5m6m7m9 andm11 should be retained andm1m8 andm10 should be taken out

Due to the fact that the retained mode components arenot always independent of each other the RobustICA algo-rithm needs to be used to extract the independent compo-nents The retained mode components and the preprocessed

According to the relevant knowledge of internal combus-tion engine the fuel combustion in the cylinder can causedrastic pressure change in the cylinder and it caused the com-bustion noise Thus the combustion noise is high frequencysignal Through analysing the nine components the IC6 isthe high frequency signalThus it can be preliminarily judgedthat the IC6 component is the combustion noise

The mechanical noise of internal combustion engine isusually below 3500Hz [35] Through analysing the Robus-tICA calculation results the frequency of IC9 is below3500Hz Thus it can be preliminarily judged that the IC9component is the piston slap noise

Apart from IC6 and IC9 as for the rest 7 componentsthey may be the air valve knock noise gear meshing noisefuel injection pump noise or other noise sources Ideally allthe noise sources of the internal combustion engine should beseparated and identified However since the noise sources areseriously mixed with each other it is difficult to separate andidentify all the noise sources and they need further researchFor example the air valve knock noise is mainly caused bythe impact of valve opening and closing and timing of valveopening and closing can be determined according to thetiming of inlet and exhaust of internal combustion engineMoreover through arranging the vibration sensor and theacoustic sensor near the valve and combining the timing ofvalve opening and closing the air valve knock noise can befurther studied The gear meshing noise is generated by thecollision and friction between teeth during the gear meshingprocess Every turn of the gear can produce the collisionand friction thus the gear meshing noise can be furtherstudied The fuel injection pump noise is mainly caused bythe oil pressure change during the oil spraying process Thefuel injection pump noise can be studied through oil injec-tion pressure and burning time of internal combustion en-gine

Considering that combustion noise and piston slap noiseare the main noise sources of internal combustion enginethus the paper is mainly on the separation and identificationof combustion noise and piston slap noise

TheFFT (Fast Fourier Transform) andCWT(ContinuousWavelet Transform) are combined to further identify the sep-aration results The calculation results are shown in Figures14 and 15 The correlation function of cylinder pressure andcylinder head vibration is shown in Figure 16

From Figure 14 it can be seen that the frequency ofIC6 component focuses on 4025Hz and the time domainwaveform of IC6 component has great change at 390∘CAFrom Figure 14(c) the frequency energy is large aroundthe 390∘CA and it is mainly concentrated around 4000HzAccording to the prior knowledge of the internal combustionengine the ignition sequence of the internal combustionengine is 1-5-3-6-2-4 The ignition angle of the number 6cylinder is around 390∘CA Due to the fact that the number1ndash5 cylinders are covered by lead the frequency energyof the number 6 cylinder is bigger than the number 1ndash5cylinders Moreover from Figure 16 cylinder pressure andcylinder head vibration have a good correlationnear 4000HzThe combustion noise is mainly caused by the change ofcylinder pressure Near 4000Hz themain information aboutcombustion noise is includedThus it can be determined thatthe IC6 component is the combustion noise

From Figure 15 it can be seen that the frequency of IC9component focuses on 1725Hz Combined with Figure 16the correlation function of cylinder pressure and cylinderhead vibration is not good near 1725Hz From Figure 15(c)the frequency energy is huge around the 390∘CA It is

to decompose the preprocessed noise signal The calculationresults are shown in Figure 19

After the preprocessed noise signal is decomposed bythe EWT algorithm empirical modal components can beobtained But it may have some false empirical modal com-ponents Thus it is necessary to remove the false empir-ical modal components Hence the correlation coefficientbetween empirical modal components and preprocessednoise signal is utilised to determine whether the empiricalmodal component is removed or not The correlation coef-ficient between empirical modal components and prepro-cessed noise signal is shown in Table 4

From Table 4 it can be seen that the maximum value ofthe empiricalmodal components is 08532Thus if the empir-ical modal components are less than 008532 it should beremoved Therefore F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 and F9 should beremovedThen the remaining F1 and F2 and the preprocessednoise signal are combined together to form a new signalgroup The RobustICA algorithm is utilised to extract the

53 Comparison Discussion When adopting the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method to separate the combustion noiseand piston slap noise the calculation results are shown inFigures 14 and 15 The frequencies of combustion noise andpiston slap noise are concentrated at 4025Hz and 1725Hzrespectively When utilising the EWT-RobustICA methodthe separated combustion noise and piston slap noise areshown in Figures 21 and 22 Comparing Figure 14 withFigure 21 it can be seen that there are many other frequencycomponents except for the 4025Hz components in Figure 21Comparing Figure 15 with Figure 22 it can be seen thatthere are many other frequency components except for the1725Hz components in Figure 22 Moreover from Figure 17the IC9 spectrum is consistent with the piston slap vibra-tion spectrum while in Figure 23 the IC2 spectrum hassome difference with the piston slap vibration spectrumTherefore compared with the EWT-RobustICA method theGammatone-RobustICAmethod can get more pure combus-tion noise and piston slap noiseTheGammatone-RobustICAmethod has a better separation and identification effect thanthe EWT-RobustICA method

6 Conclusions

(1) In the aspect of the internal combustion engine test thelead covering method is adopted to wrap the numbers 1ndash5cylinders and only the number 6 cylinder parts are exposedIt can effectively insulate the interference noise from thenumbers 1ndash5 cylinders Thus it is conducive to separating

and identifying the noise sources of the specified number 6cylinder

(2) Inspired by the human auditory system the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method is proposed to separate and iden-tify the combustion noise and the piston slap noise Com-pared with the EWT-RobustICA method the proposedGammatone-RobustICA method has a better separationeffect The separation results obtained by the Gammatone-RobustICA method have very fewer other interference com-ponents

Figure 2 A common blind source separation process

23 Robust Independent Component Analysis The blindsource separation method is a powerful signal processingmethod [31] It can extract and recover the original signalswhich cannot be directly observed from several observedmixed signals Due to the fact that the source signal isunknown and unobserved and themixed system characteris-tics are unknown or only a small amount of prior knowledgeis known in advance it is a challenge to use the blind sourceseparation method to separate the source signals

Suppose the signals collected by the sensors are 119909(119896) =[1199091(119896) 1199092(119896) 119909119899(119896)]

119879 Then it is needed to find an in-verse system to reconstruct the original signals 119904(119896) =[1199041(119896) 1199042(119896) 119904119899(119896)]

119879 The output expression is

119910 (119896) = 119882119909 (119896) = 119882119860119904 (119896) (4)

A common blind source separation process is shown inFigure 2

The independent component analysis (ICA) is an impor-tant method to solve the blind source separation problemsThe FastICA algorithm is a widely used blind source sepa-ration algorithm which is proposed by the Hyvarinen [32]The FastICA algorithm has high convergence speed andreliability It is cubic convergence However it has some limi-tationsWhen the source signal spatial correlation is high theFastICA algorithm will have not good separation results andthe kurtosis based on higher order cumulant has its owndefects in the field value To solve these problems Zarzoso

and Comon [33] proposed the RobustICA algorithm whichhas excellent blind source separation effect The RobustICAalgorithm utilised the kurtosis as the objective functionThe kurtosis is an indicator to evaluate the non-Gaussiancharacteristic of the analysed signal The kurtosis is definedas

Suppose the observed signal is 119883 The RobustICA algo-rithm does not need to carry out the whitening processfor the observed signal It only requires the mean value ofthe observed signal which is zero By RobustICA algorithmthe unmixed signal is 119910 = 119908119879119883 The specific calcula-tion process of the RobustICA algorithm is shown as fol-lows

Step 1 Counter 119899 = 1 Suppose the number 119873 of sourcesignals is the same with the number of observed signals

24 Calculation Process of Gammatone-RobustICA MethodFor the measured single channel radiated noise signals theGammatone-RobustICA method is utilised to separate andidentify the noise sources First the different mode compo-nents of the measured signals are extracted by the Gamma-tone filter bank Because these different mode componentsare not always independent of each other thus the blindsource separation technique is still needed to further dealwith the separated signal components to extract the indepen-dent components Then the correlation coefficient betweenthe mode components and the measured signal is calculatedThe mode components which have a higher correlation coef-ficient with the measured signal are retained The retainedmode components and the measured signal are combinedtogether to form a new signal group The RobustICA al-gorithm is used to extract the independent componentsFinally the obtained separation results are further identi-fied through the spectral analysis the continuous wavelettransform (CWT) the coherence function method and thedrag test of internal combustion engine The calculationflow of the Gammatone-RobustICA method is shown inFigure 3

3 Simulation Analysis

In order to illustrate the performance of the Gammatone-RobustICAmethod some typical signals are selected to carryout the simulation analysis by MATLABThe selected typicalsignals (1198781 1198782 and 1198783) are shown as follows

1198781 = cos (2120587 ∙ 49 ∙ 119905)

1198782 = cos (2120587 ∙ 115 ∙ 119905)

1198783 = cos (2120587 ∙ 201 ∙ 119905)

119878 = 1198781 + 1198782 + 1198783

the IC2 has some difference with the 1198782 This can be seenfrom the red circle in Figure 5(b) Thus it can be consideredthat Gammatone-RobustICA method has a better separationeffect than EWT-RobustICA method

4 Experimental Investigation

41 Test Platform The noise and vibration test of internalcombustion engine are carried out in a fully enclosed semi-anechoic chamber The size of the semianechoic chamber islength 704m timeswidth 679m times height 595mThe free soundfield radius is not less than 2 meters and the backgroundnoise is 18 dB

Test bench contains theWP10-240 type high speed dieselengine transmission shaft Germanyrsquos Siemens 1PL6 ACmotor console and other related accessories The specificparameters of the WP10-240 type high speed diesel engineare shown in Table 1

The internal combustion engine has six cylinders It willproduce many vibration and noise sources It is very difficultto directly separate all the noise sources of the internalcombustion engine Therefore the lead covering method isutilised to isolate the noise from the numbers 1ndash5 cylindersand only the number 6 cylinder parts are exposed The noisesource of the specified number 6 cylinder is separated andidentified The lead cover of the internal combustion engineis shown in Figure 6

42 Test Conditions The internal combustion engine is nor-mally operated at a rated speed of 2200 rpm Thus it is nec-essary and meaningful to separate and identify the noise

sources of the internal combustion engine at the rated speedHowever in the internal combustion engine test benchthe coupling equipment of the internal combustion enginehas some problems The internal combustion engine cannotreach the rated speed In the test the actual speed of theinternal combustion engine is 2100 rpm

Moreover when the internal combustion engine is in dragcondition the internal combustion engine will not producethe combustion noise and will only produce the mechanicalnoise However it is difficult to measure the independentpiston slap noise because many moving parts of an internalcombustion engine will produce noise According to therelevant knowledge of internal combustion engine whenthe piston impacts the inner wall of the cylinder it willproduce the vibration and then the vibration will furtherproduce piston slap noise Thus the frequency of the pistonslap vibration can be utilised to assess the accuracy of theseparated piston slap noise The test conditions of internalcombustion engine are shown in Table 2

43 Measuring System and Measuring Point ArrangementThe vibration and noise measuring system of internal com-bustion engine is shown in Figure 7 The measuring systemincludes the NI 9234 and NI 9205 acquisition module thatthe highest sampling rate can be up to 512 kHzThe LC0158Taccelerometers are adopted to measure the cylinder headvibration and the piston slap vibration that the sensitivityis 30mVg the range is 166 g and the frequency range is0ndash15 kHz The type of the cylinder pressure sensor is Kistler7013C that the range is 25MPa with a single channel chargeamplifier 5018A1000 The DGO9767CD electret microphoneis applied to measure the noise signals that the sensi-tivity is 50mVPa and the frequency response range is20Hzndash20 kHz

Figure 8 Measured position of piston slap vibration

In fact due to the limitation of the test conditions itis difficult to measure the independent combustion noiseAccording to the related knowledge of internal combustionengine the combustion noise is related to the drastic changeof cylinder pressure Drastic change of cylinder pressure cancause vibration of cylinder head and body surface and thenthe vibration will produce the combustion noise Thus thecorrelation function of cylinder pressure and cylinder headvibration can be used to determine the frequency of thecombustion noise and then further evaluate the accuracy ofseparated combustion noise

Due to the fact that the structure of internal combustionengine and movement trajectory of piston are known beforethus the place of the piston slap occurring can be determinedaccording to the structure of internal combustion engine andmovement trajectory of piston The measured position of thepiston slap vibration is corresponding to the position that thepiston impacts the inner wall of the cylinder The measuredposition of the piston slap vibration is shown in Figure 8

to measure the piston slap vibration when the internal com-bustion engine is in drag conditionThe specific arrangementof measuring point is shown in Figure 9

In the test the highest frequency of the internal combus-tion engine radiated noise is below 8000Hz According tothe sampling theorem the sampling frequency is greater thantwice the highest frequency of the analysed signals Thus thesampling frequency can be set to 256 kHz

The number 6 cylinder is set as the research objectWhen the internal combustion engine is in 2100 rpm and no-load condition the cylinder pressure signals (1199011) cylinderhead vibration acceleration signals (119886) and the cylinder bodyside near-field radiated noise signals (1199012) are measured It isshown in Figure 10

In this part the Gammatone-RobustICA method and theEWT-RobustICA method are respectively used to separateand identify the noise sources of the cylinder body side near-field radiated noise

In the process of the noise and vibration test the mea-sured noise signalmay have random error components whichwill affect the subsequent calculation results In order toreduce the random error components the pretreatment suchas eliminate trend items and slip average is carried out onthe measured noise signal The preprocessed noise signal isshown in Figure 11

Figure 11 Preprocessed noise signal

51 Gammatone-RobustICA Method When the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method is utilised to separate and identifythe noise source of the internal combustion engine the firststep is to design an appropriate Gammatone filter bank toextract various mode components of the preprocessed noisesignal It is necessary to predefine the two important param-eters of the Gammatone filter bank the center frequencyrange and the number of channels For the center frequencyrange on the one hand the frequency range of humanaudible sounds is 20Hzndash20 kHz On the other hand thefrequency range of the internal combustion engine radiatednoise is usually below 8000Hz Thus the center frequencyof the Gammatone filter bank is set to 20Hzndash8000Hz Forthe number of channels of the Gammatone filter bank onthe one hand considering the calculation accuracy and thecomputing costs the higher the number of channels is thehigher the accuracy of the calculation is and the higher thecost of the computation is thus the number of channels ofthe Gammatone filter bank should not be too much On theother hand according to the related knowledge of internalcombustion engine the noise sources of internal combustionengine are combustion noise piston slap noise air valveknock noise gear meshing noise fuel injection pump noiseand so forth After considering these factors the number ofchannels of the Gammatone filter bank is set to 11

By the Gammatone filter bank the mode componentsfrom the preprocessed noise signal can be obtained Thedecomposition results are shown in Figure 12

In order to improve the efficiency of the calculation themode components with large correlation with the prepro-cessed noise signal need to be selected to carry out the nextstep calculation

Suppose the correlation coefficient between the modecomponents and the preprocessed noise signal is 119903119894 (119894 =1 2 119899) 119899 is the number of the mode componentsCorrelation coefficient 119903 is defined as follows

119903119883119884 =cov (119883 119884)

radic119863 (119883)radic119863 (119884) (7)

where 119883 represents the source signal 119884 represents the sepa-ration component cov(119883 119884) represents the covariance of 119883and 119884 119863(119883) and 119863(119884) represent the variance of 119883 and 119884respectively

According to Pearson correlation coefficient theory [34]the correlation coefficient is in the range of minus1 to +1 If thecorrelation coefficient is greater than zero there is a positivecorrelation between the two variables On the contrarythere is a negative correlation In general if the correlationcoefficient is greater than 03 the two variables are correlated

In order to select the mode components the threshold 120582is set to determine whether the mode component is retainedor not But the internal combustion engine has many noisesources and there are many noise disturbances in the mea-surement process Thus if the threshold of the correlationcoefficient is set to 03 the selected mode components will beless and the separated independent noise source informationwill not be sufficient In order to obtain more sufficientindependent noise source information in the actual study thethreshold of the correlation coefficient needs to be set smallerHere the threshold of the correlation coefficient is defined asfollows

120582 =max (119903119894)

120578 119894 = 1 2 119899 (8)

where 120578 is the ratio factor and 120578 is set to 100The calculation results of the correlation coefficient

between the mode components and the preprocessed noisesignal are shown in Table 3

From Table 3 it can be seen that the maximum correla-tion coefficient is 01256 Thus if the correlation coefficientis more than 001256 it should be retained On the contraryif the correlation coefficient is less than 001256 it should betaken out Through analysing it can be determined that m2m3m4m5m6m7m9 andm11 should be retained andm1m8 andm10 should be taken out

Due to the fact that the retained mode components arenot always independent of each other the RobustICA algo-rithm needs to be used to extract the independent compo-nents The retained mode components and the preprocessed

According to the relevant knowledge of internal combus-tion engine the fuel combustion in the cylinder can causedrastic pressure change in the cylinder and it caused the com-bustion noise Thus the combustion noise is high frequencysignal Through analysing the nine components the IC6 isthe high frequency signalThus it can be preliminarily judgedthat the IC6 component is the combustion noise

Shock and Vibration 9

The mechanical noise of internal combustion engine isusually below 3500Hz [35] Through analysing the Robus-tICA calculation results the frequency of IC9 is below3500Hz Thus it can be preliminarily judged that the IC9component is the piston slap noise

Apart from IC6 and IC9 as for the rest 7 componentsthey may be the air valve knock noise gear meshing noisefuel injection pump noise or other noise sources Ideally allthe noise sources of the internal combustion engine should beseparated and identified However since the noise sources areseriously mixed with each other it is difficult to separate andidentify all the noise sources and they need further researchFor example the air valve knock noise is mainly caused bythe impact of valve opening and closing and timing of valveopening and closing can be determined according to thetiming of inlet and exhaust of internal combustion engineMoreover through arranging the vibration sensor and theacoustic sensor near the valve and combining the timing ofvalve opening and closing the air valve knock noise can befurther studied The gear meshing noise is generated by thecollision and friction between teeth during the gear meshingprocess Every turn of the gear can produce the collisionand friction thus the gear meshing noise can be furtherstudied The fuel injection pump noise is mainly caused bythe oil pressure change during the oil spraying process Thefuel injection pump noise can be studied through oil injec-tion pressure and burning time of internal combustion en-gine

Considering that combustion noise and piston slap noiseare the main noise sources of internal combustion enginethus the paper is mainly on the separation and identificationof combustion noise and piston slap noise

TheFFT (Fast Fourier Transform) andCWT(ContinuousWavelet Transform) are combined to further identify the sep-aration results The calculation results are shown in Figures14 and 15 The correlation function of cylinder pressure andcylinder head vibration is shown in Figure 16

From Figure 14 it can be seen that the frequency ofIC6 component focuses on 4025Hz and the time domainwaveform of IC6 component has great change at 390∘CAFrom Figure 14(c) the frequency energy is large aroundthe 390∘CA and it is mainly concentrated around 4000HzAccording to the prior knowledge of the internal combustionengine the ignition sequence of the internal combustionengine is 1-5-3-6-2-4 The ignition angle of the number 6cylinder is around 390∘CA Due to the fact that the number1ndash5 cylinders are covered by lead the frequency energyof the number 6 cylinder is bigger than the number 1ndash5cylinders Moreover from Figure 16 cylinder pressure andcylinder head vibration have a good correlationnear 4000HzThe combustion noise is mainly caused by the change ofcylinder pressure Near 4000Hz themain information aboutcombustion noise is includedThus it can be determined thatthe IC6 component is the combustion noise

From Figure 15 it can be seen that the frequency of IC9component focuses on 1725Hz Combined with Figure 16the correlation function of cylinder pressure and cylinderhead vibration is not good near 1725Hz From Figure 15(c)the frequency energy is huge around the 390∘CA It is

After the preprocessed noise signal is decomposed bythe EWT algorithm empirical modal components can beobtained But it may have some false empirical modal com-ponents Thus it is necessary to remove the false empir-ical modal components Hence the correlation coefficientbetween empirical modal components and preprocessednoise signal is utilised to determine whether the empiricalmodal component is removed or not The correlation coef-ficient between empirical modal components and prepro-cessed noise signal is shown in Table 4

24 Calculation Process of Gammatone-RobustICA MethodFor the measured single channel radiated noise signals theGammatone-RobustICA method is utilised to separate andidentify the noise sources First the different mode compo-nents of the measured signals are extracted by the Gamma-tone filter bank Because these different mode componentsare not always independent of each other thus the blindsource separation technique is still needed to further dealwith the separated signal components to extract the indepen-dent components Then the correlation coefficient betweenthe mode components and the measured signal is calculatedThe mode components which have a higher correlation coef-ficient with the measured signal are retained The retainedmode components and the measured signal are combinedtogether to form a new signal group The RobustICA al-gorithm is used to extract the independent componentsFinally the obtained separation results are further identi-fied through the spectral analysis the continuous wavelettransform (CWT) the coherence function method and thedrag test of internal combustion engine The calculationflow of the Gammatone-RobustICA method is shown inFigure 3

3 Simulation Analysis

In order to illustrate the performance of the Gammatone-RobustICAmethod some typical signals are selected to carryout the simulation analysis by MATLABThe selected typicalsignals (1198781 1198782 and 1198783) are shown as follows

1198781 = cos (2120587 ∙ 49 ∙ 119905)

1198782 = cos (2120587 ∙ 115 ∙ 119905)

1198783 = cos (2120587 ∙ 201 ∙ 119905)

119878 = 1198781 + 1198782 + 1198783

The sampling frequency of the selected signals is 3000Hzand the sampling number of the signals is 300 The timedomain waveform of the selected source signals is shown inFigure 4

For the mixed signal 119878 the Gammatone-RobustICAmethod and the EWT-RobustICA method are respectivelyutilised to separate the selected source signals 1198781 1198782 and 1198783

the IC2 has some difference with the 1198782 This can be seenfrom the red circle in Figure 5(b) Thus it can be consideredthat Gammatone-RobustICA method has a better separationeffect than EWT-RobustICA method

4 Experimental Investigation

41 Test Platform The noise and vibration test of internalcombustion engine are carried out in a fully enclosed semi-anechoic chamber The size of the semianechoic chamber islength 704m timeswidth 679m times height 595mThe free soundfield radius is not less than 2 meters and the backgroundnoise is 18 dB

Test bench contains theWP10-240 type high speed dieselengine transmission shaft Germanyrsquos Siemens 1PL6 ACmotor console and other related accessories The specificparameters of the WP10-240 type high speed diesel engineare shown in Table 1

The internal combustion engine has six cylinders It willproduce many vibration and noise sources It is very difficultto directly separate all the noise sources of the internalcombustion engine Therefore the lead covering method isutilised to isolate the noise from the numbers 1ndash5 cylindersand only the number 6 cylinder parts are exposed The noisesource of the specified number 6 cylinder is separated andidentified The lead cover of the internal combustion engineis shown in Figure 6

42 Test Conditions The internal combustion engine is nor-mally operated at a rated speed of 2200 rpm Thus it is nec-essary and meaningful to separate and identify the noise

sources of the internal combustion engine at the rated speedHowever in the internal combustion engine test benchthe coupling equipment of the internal combustion enginehas some problems The internal combustion engine cannotreach the rated speed In the test the actual speed of theinternal combustion engine is 2100 rpm

Moreover when the internal combustion engine is in dragcondition the internal combustion engine will not producethe combustion noise and will only produce the mechanicalnoise However it is difficult to measure the independentpiston slap noise because many moving parts of an internalcombustion engine will produce noise According to therelevant knowledge of internal combustion engine whenthe piston impacts the inner wall of the cylinder it willproduce the vibration and then the vibration will furtherproduce piston slap noise Thus the frequency of the pistonslap vibration can be utilised to assess the accuracy of theseparated piston slap noise The test conditions of internalcombustion engine are shown in Table 2

43 Measuring System and Measuring Point ArrangementThe vibration and noise measuring system of internal com-bustion engine is shown in Figure 7 The measuring systemincludes the NI 9234 and NI 9205 acquisition module thatthe highest sampling rate can be up to 512 kHzThe LC0158Taccelerometers are adopted to measure the cylinder headvibration and the piston slap vibration that the sensitivityis 30mVg the range is 166 g and the frequency range is0ndash15 kHz The type of the cylinder pressure sensor is Kistler7013C that the range is 25MPa with a single channel chargeamplifier 5018A1000 The DGO9767CD electret microphoneis applied to measure the noise signals that the sensi-tivity is 50mVPa and the frequency response range is20Hzndash20 kHz

Figure 8 Measured position of piston slap vibration

In fact due to the limitation of the test conditions itis difficult to measure the independent combustion noiseAccording to the related knowledge of internal combustionengine the combustion noise is related to the drastic changeof cylinder pressure Drastic change of cylinder pressure cancause vibration of cylinder head and body surface and thenthe vibration will produce the combustion noise Thus thecorrelation function of cylinder pressure and cylinder headvibration can be used to determine the frequency of thecombustion noise and then further evaluate the accuracy ofseparated combustion noise

Due to the fact that the structure of internal combustionengine and movement trajectory of piston are known beforethus the place of the piston slap occurring can be determinedaccording to the structure of internal combustion engine andmovement trajectory of piston The measured position of thepiston slap vibration is corresponding to the position that thepiston impacts the inner wall of the cylinder The measuredposition of the piston slap vibration is shown in Figure 8

to measure the piston slap vibration when the internal com-bustion engine is in drag conditionThe specific arrangementof measuring point is shown in Figure 9

In the test the highest frequency of the internal combus-tion engine radiated noise is below 8000Hz According tothe sampling theorem the sampling frequency is greater thantwice the highest frequency of the analysed signals Thus thesampling frequency can be set to 256 kHz

The number 6 cylinder is set as the research objectWhen the internal combustion engine is in 2100 rpm and no-load condition the cylinder pressure signals (1199011) cylinderhead vibration acceleration signals (119886) and the cylinder bodyside near-field radiated noise signals (1199012) are measured It isshown in Figure 10

5 Separation and Identification ofthe Near-Field Radiated Noise

In this part the Gammatone-RobustICA method and theEWT-RobustICA method are respectively used to separateand identify the noise sources of the cylinder body side near-field radiated noise

In the process of the noise and vibration test the mea-sured noise signalmay have random error components whichwill affect the subsequent calculation results In order toreduce the random error components the pretreatment suchas eliminate trend items and slip average is carried out onthe measured noise signal The preprocessed noise signal isshown in Figure 11

Figure 11 Preprocessed noise signal

51 Gammatone-RobustICA Method When the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method is utilised to separate and identifythe noise source of the internal combustion engine the firststep is to design an appropriate Gammatone filter bank toextract various mode components of the preprocessed noisesignal It is necessary to predefine the two important param-eters of the Gammatone filter bank the center frequencyrange and the number of channels For the center frequencyrange on the one hand the frequency range of humanaudible sounds is 20Hzndash20 kHz On the other hand thefrequency range of the internal combustion engine radiatednoise is usually below 8000Hz Thus the center frequencyof the Gammatone filter bank is set to 20Hzndash8000Hz Forthe number of channels of the Gammatone filter bank onthe one hand considering the calculation accuracy and thecomputing costs the higher the number of channels is thehigher the accuracy of the calculation is and the higher thecost of the computation is thus the number of channels ofthe Gammatone filter bank should not be too much On theother hand according to the related knowledge of internalcombustion engine the noise sources of internal combustionengine are combustion noise piston slap noise air valveknock noise gear meshing noise fuel injection pump noiseand so forth After considering these factors the number ofchannels of the Gammatone filter bank is set to 11

By the Gammatone filter bank the mode componentsfrom the preprocessed noise signal can be obtained Thedecomposition results are shown in Figure 12

In order to improve the efficiency of the calculation themode components with large correlation with the prepro-cessed noise signal need to be selected to carry out the nextstep calculation

Suppose the correlation coefficient between the modecomponents and the preprocessed noise signal is 119903119894 (119894 =1 2 119899) 119899 is the number of the mode componentsCorrelation coefficient 119903 is defined as follows

119903119883119884 =cov (119883 119884)

radic119863 (119883)radic119863 (119884) (7)

where 119883 represents the source signal 119884 represents the sepa-ration component cov(119883 119884) represents the covariance of 119883and 119884 119863(119883) and 119863(119884) represent the variance of 119883 and 119884respectively

According to Pearson correlation coefficient theory [34]the correlation coefficient is in the range of minus1 to +1 If thecorrelation coefficient is greater than zero there is a positivecorrelation between the two variables On the contrarythere is a negative correlation In general if the correlationcoefficient is greater than 03 the two variables are correlated

Figure 12 Decomposition results by the Gammatone filter bank

In order to select the mode components the threshold 120582is set to determine whether the mode component is retainedor not But the internal combustion engine has many noisesources and there are many noise disturbances in the mea-surement process Thus if the threshold of the correlationcoefficient is set to 03 the selected mode components will beless and the separated independent noise source informationwill not be sufficient In order to obtain more sufficientindependent noise source information in the actual study thethreshold of the correlation coefficient needs to be set smallerHere the threshold of the correlation coefficient is defined asfollows

120582 =max (119903119894)

120578 119894 = 1 2 119899 (8)

where 120578 is the ratio factor and 120578 is set to 100The calculation results of the correlation coefficient

between the mode components and the preprocessed noisesignal are shown in Table 3

From Table 3 it can be seen that the maximum correla-tion coefficient is 01256 Thus if the correlation coefficientis more than 001256 it should be retained On the contraryif the correlation coefficient is less than 001256 it should betaken out Through analysing it can be determined that m2m3m4m5m6m7m9 andm11 should be retained andm1m8 andm10 should be taken out

Due to the fact that the retained mode components arenot always independent of each other the RobustICA algo-rithm needs to be used to extract the independent compo-nents The retained mode components and the preprocessed

According to the relevant knowledge of internal combus-tion engine the fuel combustion in the cylinder can causedrastic pressure change in the cylinder and it caused the com-bustion noise Thus the combustion noise is high frequencysignal Through analysing the nine components the IC6 isthe high frequency signalThus it can be preliminarily judgedthat the IC6 component is the combustion noise

The mechanical noise of internal combustion engine isusually below 3500Hz [35] Through analysing the Robus-tICA calculation results the frequency of IC9 is below3500Hz Thus it can be preliminarily judged that the IC9component is the piston slap noise

Apart from IC6 and IC9 as for the rest 7 componentsthey may be the air valve knock noise gear meshing noisefuel injection pump noise or other noise sources Ideally allthe noise sources of the internal combustion engine should beseparated and identified However since the noise sources areseriously mixed with each other it is difficult to separate andidentify all the noise sources and they need further researchFor example the air valve knock noise is mainly caused bythe impact of valve opening and closing and timing of valveopening and closing can be determined according to thetiming of inlet and exhaust of internal combustion engineMoreover through arranging the vibration sensor and theacoustic sensor near the valve and combining the timing ofvalve opening and closing the air valve knock noise can befurther studied The gear meshing noise is generated by thecollision and friction between teeth during the gear meshingprocess Every turn of the gear can produce the collisionand friction thus the gear meshing noise can be furtherstudied The fuel injection pump noise is mainly caused bythe oil pressure change during the oil spraying process Thefuel injection pump noise can be studied through oil injec-tion pressure and burning time of internal combustion en-gine

Considering that combustion noise and piston slap noiseare the main noise sources of internal combustion enginethus the paper is mainly on the separation and identificationof combustion noise and piston slap noise

TheFFT (Fast Fourier Transform) andCWT(ContinuousWavelet Transform) are combined to further identify the sep-aration results The calculation results are shown in Figures14 and 15 The correlation function of cylinder pressure andcylinder head vibration is shown in Figure 16

From Figure 14 it can be seen that the frequency ofIC6 component focuses on 4025Hz and the time domainwaveform of IC6 component has great change at 390∘CAFrom Figure 14(c) the frequency energy is large aroundthe 390∘CA and it is mainly concentrated around 4000HzAccording to the prior knowledge of the internal combustionengine the ignition sequence of the internal combustionengine is 1-5-3-6-2-4 The ignition angle of the number 6cylinder is around 390∘CA Due to the fact that the number1ndash5 cylinders are covered by lead the frequency energyof the number 6 cylinder is bigger than the number 1ndash5cylinders Moreover from Figure 16 cylinder pressure andcylinder head vibration have a good correlationnear 4000HzThe combustion noise is mainly caused by the change ofcylinder pressure Near 4000Hz themain information aboutcombustion noise is includedThus it can be determined thatthe IC6 component is the combustion noise

From Figure 15 it can be seen that the frequency of IC9component focuses on 1725Hz Combined with Figure 16the correlation function of cylinder pressure and cylinderhead vibration is not good near 1725Hz From Figure 15(c)the frequency energy is huge around the 390∘CA It is

to decompose the preprocessed noise signal The calculationresults are shown in Figure 19

After the preprocessed noise signal is decomposed bythe EWT algorithm empirical modal components can beobtained But it may have some false empirical modal com-ponents Thus it is necessary to remove the false empir-ical modal components Hence the correlation coefficientbetween empirical modal components and preprocessednoise signal is utilised to determine whether the empiricalmodal component is removed or not The correlation coef-ficient between empirical modal components and prepro-cessed noise signal is shown in Table 4

From Table 4 it can be seen that the maximum value ofthe empiricalmodal components is 08532Thus if the empir-ical modal components are less than 008532 it should beremoved Therefore F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 and F9 should beremovedThen the remaining F1 and F2 and the preprocessednoise signal are combined together to form a new signalgroup The RobustICA algorithm is utilised to extract the

By analysing it can be preliminarily judged that theIC1 component and the IC2 component are the combustionnoise and the piston slap noise Then the FFT and CWT areutilised to further analyse the IC1 component and the IC2component The calculation results are shown in Figures 21and 22

53 Comparison Discussion When adopting the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method to separate the combustion noiseand piston slap noise the calculation results are shown inFigures 14 and 15 The frequencies of combustion noise andpiston slap noise are concentrated at 4025Hz and 1725Hzrespectively When utilising the EWT-RobustICA methodthe separated combustion noise and piston slap noise areshown in Figures 21 and 22 Comparing Figure 14 withFigure 21 it can be seen that there are many other frequencycomponents except for the 4025Hz components in Figure 21Comparing Figure 15 with Figure 22 it can be seen thatthere are many other frequency components except for the1725Hz components in Figure 22 Moreover from Figure 17the IC9 spectrum is consistent with the piston slap vibra-tion spectrum while in Figure 23 the IC2 spectrum hassome difference with the piston slap vibration spectrumTherefore compared with the EWT-RobustICA method theGammatone-RobustICAmethod can get more pure combus-tion noise and piston slap noiseTheGammatone-RobustICAmethod has a better separation and identification effect thanthe EWT-RobustICA method

6 Conclusions

(1) In the aspect of the internal combustion engine test thelead covering method is adopted to wrap the numbers 1ndash5cylinders and only the number 6 cylinder parts are exposedIt can effectively insulate the interference noise from thenumbers 1ndash5 cylinders Thus it is conducive to separating

and identifying the noise sources of the specified number 6cylinder

(2) Inspired by the human auditory system the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method is proposed to separate and iden-tify the combustion noise and the piston slap noise Com-pared with the EWT-RobustICA method the proposedGammatone-RobustICA method has a better separationeffect The separation results obtained by the Gammatone-RobustICA method have very fewer other interference com-ponents

the IC2 has some difference with the 1198782 This can be seenfrom the red circle in Figure 5(b) Thus it can be consideredthat Gammatone-RobustICA method has a better separationeffect than EWT-RobustICA method

4 Experimental Investigation

41 Test Platform The noise and vibration test of internalcombustion engine are carried out in a fully enclosed semi-anechoic chamber The size of the semianechoic chamber islength 704m timeswidth 679m times height 595mThe free soundfield radius is not less than 2 meters and the backgroundnoise is 18 dB

Test bench contains theWP10-240 type high speed dieselengine transmission shaft Germanyrsquos Siemens 1PL6 ACmotor console and other related accessories The specificparameters of the WP10-240 type high speed diesel engineare shown in Table 1

The internal combustion engine has six cylinders It willproduce many vibration and noise sources It is very difficultto directly separate all the noise sources of the internalcombustion engine Therefore the lead covering method isutilised to isolate the noise from the numbers 1ndash5 cylindersand only the number 6 cylinder parts are exposed The noisesource of the specified number 6 cylinder is separated andidentified The lead cover of the internal combustion engineis shown in Figure 6

42 Test Conditions The internal combustion engine is nor-mally operated at a rated speed of 2200 rpm Thus it is nec-essary and meaningful to separate and identify the noise

sources of the internal combustion engine at the rated speedHowever in the internal combustion engine test benchthe coupling equipment of the internal combustion enginehas some problems The internal combustion engine cannotreach the rated speed In the test the actual speed of theinternal combustion engine is 2100 rpm

Moreover when the internal combustion engine is in dragcondition the internal combustion engine will not producethe combustion noise and will only produce the mechanicalnoise However it is difficult to measure the independentpiston slap noise because many moving parts of an internalcombustion engine will produce noise According to therelevant knowledge of internal combustion engine whenthe piston impacts the inner wall of the cylinder it willproduce the vibration and then the vibration will furtherproduce piston slap noise Thus the frequency of the pistonslap vibration can be utilised to assess the accuracy of theseparated piston slap noise The test conditions of internalcombustion engine are shown in Table 2

43 Measuring System and Measuring Point ArrangementThe vibration and noise measuring system of internal com-bustion engine is shown in Figure 7 The measuring systemincludes the NI 9234 and NI 9205 acquisition module thatthe highest sampling rate can be up to 512 kHzThe LC0158Taccelerometers are adopted to measure the cylinder headvibration and the piston slap vibration that the sensitivityis 30mVg the range is 166 g and the frequency range is0ndash15 kHz The type of the cylinder pressure sensor is Kistler7013C that the range is 25MPa with a single channel chargeamplifier 5018A1000 The DGO9767CD electret microphoneis applied to measure the noise signals that the sensi-tivity is 50mVPa and the frequency response range is20Hzndash20 kHz

In fact due to the limitation of the test conditions itis difficult to measure the independent combustion noiseAccording to the related knowledge of internal combustionengine the combustion noise is related to the drastic changeof cylinder pressure Drastic change of cylinder pressure cancause vibration of cylinder head and body surface and thenthe vibration will produce the combustion noise Thus thecorrelation function of cylinder pressure and cylinder headvibration can be used to determine the frequency of thecombustion noise and then further evaluate the accuracy ofseparated combustion noise

Due to the fact that the structure of internal combustionengine and movement trajectory of piston are known beforethus the place of the piston slap occurring can be determinedaccording to the structure of internal combustion engine andmovement trajectory of piston The measured position of thepiston slap vibration is corresponding to the position that thepiston impacts the inner wall of the cylinder The measuredposition of the piston slap vibration is shown in Figure 8

to measure the piston slap vibration when the internal com-bustion engine is in drag conditionThe specific arrangementof measuring point is shown in Figure 9

In the test the highest frequency of the internal combus-tion engine radiated noise is below 8000Hz According tothe sampling theorem the sampling frequency is greater thantwice the highest frequency of the analysed signals Thus thesampling frequency can be set to 256 kHz

The number 6 cylinder is set as the research objectWhen the internal combustion engine is in 2100 rpm and no-load condition the cylinder pressure signals (1199011) cylinderhead vibration acceleration signals (119886) and the cylinder bodyside near-field radiated noise signals (1199012) are measured It isshown in Figure 10

5 Separation and Identification ofthe Near-Field Radiated Noise

In this part the Gammatone-RobustICA method and theEWT-RobustICA method are respectively used to separateand identify the noise sources of the cylinder body side near-field radiated noise

In the process of the noise and vibration test the mea-sured noise signalmay have random error components whichwill affect the subsequent calculation results In order toreduce the random error components the pretreatment suchas eliminate trend items and slip average is carried out onthe measured noise signal The preprocessed noise signal isshown in Figure 11

51 Gammatone-RobustICA Method When the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method is utilised to separate and identifythe noise source of the internal combustion engine the firststep is to design an appropriate Gammatone filter bank toextract various mode components of the preprocessed noisesignal It is necessary to predefine the two important param-eters of the Gammatone filter bank the center frequencyrange and the number of channels For the center frequencyrange on the one hand the frequency range of humanaudible sounds is 20Hzndash20 kHz On the other hand thefrequency range of the internal combustion engine radiatednoise is usually below 8000Hz Thus the center frequencyof the Gammatone filter bank is set to 20Hzndash8000Hz Forthe number of channels of the Gammatone filter bank onthe one hand considering the calculation accuracy and thecomputing costs the higher the number of channels is thehigher the accuracy of the calculation is and the higher thecost of the computation is thus the number of channels ofthe Gammatone filter bank should not be too much On theother hand according to the related knowledge of internalcombustion engine the noise sources of internal combustionengine are combustion noise piston slap noise air valveknock noise gear meshing noise fuel injection pump noiseand so forth After considering these factors the number ofchannels of the Gammatone filter bank is set to 11

By the Gammatone filter bank the mode componentsfrom the preprocessed noise signal can be obtained Thedecomposition results are shown in Figure 12

In order to improve the efficiency of the calculation themode components with large correlation with the prepro-cessed noise signal need to be selected to carry out the nextstep calculation

Suppose the correlation coefficient between the modecomponents and the preprocessed noise signal is 119903119894 (119894 =1 2 119899) 119899 is the number of the mode componentsCorrelation coefficient 119903 is defined as follows

119903119883119884 =cov (119883 119884)

radic119863 (119883)radic119863 (119884) (7)

where 119883 represents the source signal 119884 represents the sepa-ration component cov(119883 119884) represents the covariance of 119883and 119884 119863(119883) and 119863(119884) represent the variance of 119883 and 119884respectively

According to Pearson correlation coefficient theory [34]the correlation coefficient is in the range of minus1 to +1 If thecorrelation coefficient is greater than zero there is a positivecorrelation between the two variables On the contrarythere is a negative correlation In general if the correlationcoefficient is greater than 03 the two variables are correlated

Figure 12 Decomposition results by the Gammatone filter bank

In order to select the mode components the threshold 120582is set to determine whether the mode component is retainedor not But the internal combustion engine has many noisesources and there are many noise disturbances in the mea-surement process Thus if the threshold of the correlationcoefficient is set to 03 the selected mode components will beless and the separated independent noise source informationwill not be sufficient In order to obtain more sufficientindependent noise source information in the actual study thethreshold of the correlation coefficient needs to be set smallerHere the threshold of the correlation coefficient is defined asfollows

120582 =max (119903119894)

120578 119894 = 1 2 119899 (8)

where 120578 is the ratio factor and 120578 is set to 100The calculation results of the correlation coefficient

between the mode components and the preprocessed noisesignal are shown in Table 3

From Table 3 it can be seen that the maximum correla-tion coefficient is 01256 Thus if the correlation coefficientis more than 001256 it should be retained On the contraryif the correlation coefficient is less than 001256 it should betaken out Through analysing it can be determined that m2m3m4m5m6m7m9 andm11 should be retained andm1m8 andm10 should be taken out

Due to the fact that the retained mode components arenot always independent of each other the RobustICA algo-rithm needs to be used to extract the independent compo-nents The retained mode components and the preprocessed

According to the relevant knowledge of internal combus-tion engine the fuel combustion in the cylinder can causedrastic pressure change in the cylinder and it caused the com-bustion noise Thus the combustion noise is high frequencysignal Through analysing the nine components the IC6 isthe high frequency signalThus it can be preliminarily judgedthat the IC6 component is the combustion noise

Shock and Vibration 9

The mechanical noise of internal combustion engine isusually below 3500Hz [35] Through analysing the Robus-tICA calculation results the frequency of IC9 is below3500Hz Thus it can be preliminarily judged that the IC9component is the piston slap noise

Apart from IC6 and IC9 as for the rest 7 componentsthey may be the air valve knock noise gear meshing noisefuel injection pump noise or other noise sources Ideally allthe noise sources of the internal combustion engine should beseparated and identified However since the noise sources areseriously mixed with each other it is difficult to separate andidentify all the noise sources and they need further researchFor example the air valve knock noise is mainly caused bythe impact of valve opening and closing and timing of valveopening and closing can be determined according to thetiming of inlet and exhaust of internal combustion engineMoreover through arranging the vibration sensor and theacoustic sensor near the valve and combining the timing ofvalve opening and closing the air valve knock noise can befurther studied The gear meshing noise is generated by thecollision and friction between teeth during the gear meshingprocess Every turn of the gear can produce the collisionand friction thus the gear meshing noise can be furtherstudied The fuel injection pump noise is mainly caused bythe oil pressure change during the oil spraying process Thefuel injection pump noise can be studied through oil injec-tion pressure and burning time of internal combustion en-gine

Considering that combustion noise and piston slap noiseare the main noise sources of internal combustion enginethus the paper is mainly on the separation and identificationof combustion noise and piston slap noise

TheFFT (Fast Fourier Transform) andCWT(ContinuousWavelet Transform) are combined to further identify the sep-aration results The calculation results are shown in Figures14 and 15 The correlation function of cylinder pressure andcylinder head vibration is shown in Figure 16

From Figure 14 it can be seen that the frequency ofIC6 component focuses on 4025Hz and the time domainwaveform of IC6 component has great change at 390∘CAFrom Figure 14(c) the frequency energy is large aroundthe 390∘CA and it is mainly concentrated around 4000HzAccording to the prior knowledge of the internal combustionengine the ignition sequence of the internal combustionengine is 1-5-3-6-2-4 The ignition angle of the number 6cylinder is around 390∘CA Due to the fact that the number1ndash5 cylinders are covered by lead the frequency energyof the number 6 cylinder is bigger than the number 1ndash5cylinders Moreover from Figure 16 cylinder pressure andcylinder head vibration have a good correlationnear 4000HzThe combustion noise is mainly caused by the change ofcylinder pressure Near 4000Hz themain information aboutcombustion noise is includedThus it can be determined thatthe IC6 component is the combustion noise

From Figure 15 it can be seen that the frequency of IC9component focuses on 1725Hz Combined with Figure 16the correlation function of cylinder pressure and cylinderhead vibration is not good near 1725Hz From Figure 15(c)the frequency energy is huge around the 390∘CA It is

After the preprocessed noise signal is decomposed bythe EWT algorithm empirical modal components can beobtained But it may have some false empirical modal com-ponents Thus it is necessary to remove the false empir-ical modal components Hence the correlation coefficientbetween empirical modal components and preprocessednoise signal is utilised to determine whether the empiricalmodal component is removed or not The correlation coef-ficient between empirical modal components and prepro-cessed noise signal is shown in Table 4

53 Comparison Discussion When adopting the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method to separate the combustion noiseand piston slap noise the calculation results are shown inFigures 14 and 15 The frequencies of combustion noise andpiston slap noise are concentrated at 4025Hz and 1725Hzrespectively When utilising the EWT-RobustICA methodthe separated combustion noise and piston slap noise areshown in Figures 21 and 22 Comparing Figure 14 withFigure 21 it can be seen that there are many other frequencycomponents except for the 4025Hz components in Figure 21Comparing Figure 15 with Figure 22 it can be seen thatthere are many other frequency components except for the1725Hz components in Figure 22 Moreover from Figure 17the IC9 spectrum is consistent with the piston slap vibra-tion spectrum while in Figure 23 the IC2 spectrum hassome difference with the piston slap vibration spectrumTherefore compared with the EWT-RobustICA method theGammatone-RobustICAmethod can get more pure combus-tion noise and piston slap noiseTheGammatone-RobustICAmethod has a better separation and identification effect thanthe EWT-RobustICA method

6 Conclusions

(1) In the aspect of the internal combustion engine test thelead covering method is adopted to wrap the numbers 1ndash5cylinders and only the number 6 cylinder parts are exposedIt can effectively insulate the interference noise from thenumbers 1ndash5 cylinders Thus it is conducive to separating

and identifying the noise sources of the specified number 6cylinder

(2) Inspired by the human auditory system the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method is proposed to separate and iden-tify the combustion noise and the piston slap noise Com-pared with the EWT-RobustICA method the proposedGammatone-RobustICA method has a better separationeffect The separation results obtained by the Gammatone-RobustICA method have very fewer other interference com-ponents

sources of the internal combustion engine at the rated speedHowever in the internal combustion engine test benchthe coupling equipment of the internal combustion enginehas some problems The internal combustion engine cannotreach the rated speed In the test the actual speed of theinternal combustion engine is 2100 rpm

Moreover when the internal combustion engine is in dragcondition the internal combustion engine will not producethe combustion noise and will only produce the mechanicalnoise However it is difficult to measure the independentpiston slap noise because many moving parts of an internalcombustion engine will produce noise According to therelevant knowledge of internal combustion engine whenthe piston impacts the inner wall of the cylinder it willproduce the vibration and then the vibration will furtherproduce piston slap noise Thus the frequency of the pistonslap vibration can be utilised to assess the accuracy of theseparated piston slap noise The test conditions of internalcombustion engine are shown in Table 2

43 Measuring System and Measuring Point ArrangementThe vibration and noise measuring system of internal com-bustion engine is shown in Figure 7 The measuring systemincludes the NI 9234 and NI 9205 acquisition module thatthe highest sampling rate can be up to 512 kHzThe LC0158Taccelerometers are adopted to measure the cylinder headvibration and the piston slap vibration that the sensitivityis 30mVg the range is 166 g and the frequency range is0ndash15 kHz The type of the cylinder pressure sensor is Kistler7013C that the range is 25MPa with a single channel chargeamplifier 5018A1000 The DGO9767CD electret microphoneis applied to measure the noise signals that the sensi-tivity is 50mVPa and the frequency response range is20Hzndash20 kHz

Figure 8 Measured position of piston slap vibration

In fact due to the limitation of the test conditions itis difficult to measure the independent combustion noiseAccording to the related knowledge of internal combustionengine the combustion noise is related to the drastic changeof cylinder pressure Drastic change of cylinder pressure cancause vibration of cylinder head and body surface and thenthe vibration will produce the combustion noise Thus thecorrelation function of cylinder pressure and cylinder headvibration can be used to determine the frequency of thecombustion noise and then further evaluate the accuracy ofseparated combustion noise

Due to the fact that the structure of internal combustionengine and movement trajectory of piston are known beforethus the place of the piston slap occurring can be determinedaccording to the structure of internal combustion engine andmovement trajectory of piston The measured position of thepiston slap vibration is corresponding to the position that thepiston impacts the inner wall of the cylinder The measuredposition of the piston slap vibration is shown in Figure 8

TheDGO9767CDelectretmicrophone is arranged at 1 cmdistance away from the number 6 cylinder body side TheLC0158T accelerometer is arranged at the piston slap place

to measure the piston slap vibration when the internal com-bustion engine is in drag conditionThe specific arrangementof measuring point is shown in Figure 9

In the test the highest frequency of the internal combus-tion engine radiated noise is below 8000Hz According tothe sampling theorem the sampling frequency is greater thantwice the highest frequency of the analysed signals Thus thesampling frequency can be set to 256 kHz

The number 6 cylinder is set as the research objectWhen the internal combustion engine is in 2100 rpm and no-load condition the cylinder pressure signals (1199011) cylinderhead vibration acceleration signals (119886) and the cylinder bodyside near-field radiated noise signals (1199012) are measured It isshown in Figure 10

5 Separation and Identification ofthe Near-Field Radiated Noise

In this part the Gammatone-RobustICA method and theEWT-RobustICA method are respectively used to separateand identify the noise sources of the cylinder body side near-field radiated noise

In the process of the noise and vibration test the mea-sured noise signalmay have random error components whichwill affect the subsequent calculation results In order toreduce the random error components the pretreatment suchas eliminate trend items and slip average is carried out onthe measured noise signal The preprocessed noise signal isshown in Figure 11

51 Gammatone-RobustICA Method When the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method is utilised to separate and identifythe noise source of the internal combustion engine the firststep is to design an appropriate Gammatone filter bank toextract various mode components of the preprocessed noisesignal It is necessary to predefine the two important param-eters of the Gammatone filter bank the center frequencyrange and the number of channels For the center frequencyrange on the one hand the frequency range of humanaudible sounds is 20Hzndash20 kHz On the other hand thefrequency range of the internal combustion engine radiatednoise is usually below 8000Hz Thus the center frequencyof the Gammatone filter bank is set to 20Hzndash8000Hz Forthe number of channels of the Gammatone filter bank onthe one hand considering the calculation accuracy and thecomputing costs the higher the number of channels is thehigher the accuracy of the calculation is and the higher thecost of the computation is thus the number of channels ofthe Gammatone filter bank should not be too much On theother hand according to the related knowledge of internalcombustion engine the noise sources of internal combustionengine are combustion noise piston slap noise air valveknock noise gear meshing noise fuel injection pump noiseand so forth After considering these factors the number ofchannels of the Gammatone filter bank is set to 11

By the Gammatone filter bank the mode componentsfrom the preprocessed noise signal can be obtained Thedecomposition results are shown in Figure 12

In order to improve the efficiency of the calculation themode components with large correlation with the prepro-cessed noise signal need to be selected to carry out the nextstep calculation

Suppose the correlation coefficient between the modecomponents and the preprocessed noise signal is 119903119894 (119894 =1 2 119899) 119899 is the number of the mode componentsCorrelation coefficient 119903 is defined as follows

119903119883119884 =cov (119883 119884)

radic119863 (119883)radic119863 (119884) (7)

where 119883 represents the source signal 119884 represents the sepa-ration component cov(119883 119884) represents the covariance of 119883and 119884 119863(119883) and 119863(119884) represent the variance of 119883 and 119884respectively

According to Pearson correlation coefficient theory [34]the correlation coefficient is in the range of minus1 to +1 If thecorrelation coefficient is greater than zero there is a positivecorrelation between the two variables On the contrarythere is a negative correlation In general if the correlationcoefficient is greater than 03 the two variables are correlated

Figure 12 Decomposition results by the Gammatone filter bank

In order to select the mode components the threshold 120582is set to determine whether the mode component is retainedor not But the internal combustion engine has many noisesources and there are many noise disturbances in the mea-surement process Thus if the threshold of the correlationcoefficient is set to 03 the selected mode components will beless and the separated independent noise source informationwill not be sufficient In order to obtain more sufficientindependent noise source information in the actual study thethreshold of the correlation coefficient needs to be set smallerHere the threshold of the correlation coefficient is defined asfollows

120582 =max (119903119894)

120578 119894 = 1 2 119899 (8)

where 120578 is the ratio factor and 120578 is set to 100The calculation results of the correlation coefficient

between the mode components and the preprocessed noisesignal are shown in Table 3

From Table 3 it can be seen that the maximum correla-tion coefficient is 01256 Thus if the correlation coefficientis more than 001256 it should be retained On the contraryif the correlation coefficient is less than 001256 it should betaken out Through analysing it can be determined that m2m3m4m5m6m7m9 andm11 should be retained andm1m8 andm10 should be taken out

Due to the fact that the retained mode components arenot always independent of each other the RobustICA algo-rithm needs to be used to extract the independent compo-nents The retained mode components and the preprocessed

According to the relevant knowledge of internal combus-tion engine the fuel combustion in the cylinder can causedrastic pressure change in the cylinder and it caused the com-bustion noise Thus the combustion noise is high frequencysignal Through analysing the nine components the IC6 isthe high frequency signalThus it can be preliminarily judgedthat the IC6 component is the combustion noise

Shock and Vibration 9

The mechanical noise of internal combustion engine isusually below 3500Hz [35] Through analysing the Robus-tICA calculation results the frequency of IC9 is below3500Hz Thus it can be preliminarily judged that the IC9component is the piston slap noise

Apart from IC6 and IC9 as for the rest 7 componentsthey may be the air valve knock noise gear meshing noisefuel injection pump noise or other noise sources Ideally allthe noise sources of the internal combustion engine should beseparated and identified However since the noise sources areseriously mixed with each other it is difficult to separate andidentify all the noise sources and they need further researchFor example the air valve knock noise is mainly caused bythe impact of valve opening and closing and timing of valveopening and closing can be determined according to thetiming of inlet and exhaust of internal combustion engineMoreover through arranging the vibration sensor and theacoustic sensor near the valve and combining the timing ofvalve opening and closing the air valve knock noise can befurther studied The gear meshing noise is generated by thecollision and friction between teeth during the gear meshingprocess Every turn of the gear can produce the collisionand friction thus the gear meshing noise can be furtherstudied The fuel injection pump noise is mainly caused bythe oil pressure change during the oil spraying process Thefuel injection pump noise can be studied through oil injec-tion pressure and burning time of internal combustion en-gine

Considering that combustion noise and piston slap noiseare the main noise sources of internal combustion enginethus the paper is mainly on the separation and identificationof combustion noise and piston slap noise

TheFFT (Fast Fourier Transform) andCWT(ContinuousWavelet Transform) are combined to further identify the sep-aration results The calculation results are shown in Figures14 and 15 The correlation function of cylinder pressure andcylinder head vibration is shown in Figure 16

From Figure 14 it can be seen that the frequency ofIC6 component focuses on 4025Hz and the time domainwaveform of IC6 component has great change at 390∘CAFrom Figure 14(c) the frequency energy is large aroundthe 390∘CA and it is mainly concentrated around 4000HzAccording to the prior knowledge of the internal combustionengine the ignition sequence of the internal combustionengine is 1-5-3-6-2-4 The ignition angle of the number 6cylinder is around 390∘CA Due to the fact that the number1ndash5 cylinders are covered by lead the frequency energyof the number 6 cylinder is bigger than the number 1ndash5cylinders Moreover from Figure 16 cylinder pressure andcylinder head vibration have a good correlationnear 4000HzThe combustion noise is mainly caused by the change ofcylinder pressure Near 4000Hz themain information aboutcombustion noise is includedThus it can be determined thatthe IC6 component is the combustion noise

From Figure 15 it can be seen that the frequency of IC9component focuses on 1725Hz Combined with Figure 16the correlation function of cylinder pressure and cylinderhead vibration is not good near 1725Hz From Figure 15(c)the frequency energy is huge around the 390∘CA It is

to decompose the preprocessed noise signal The calculationresults are shown in Figure 19

After the preprocessed noise signal is decomposed bythe EWT algorithm empirical modal components can beobtained But it may have some false empirical modal com-ponents Thus it is necessary to remove the false empir-ical modal components Hence the correlation coefficientbetween empirical modal components and preprocessednoise signal is utilised to determine whether the empiricalmodal component is removed or not The correlation coef-ficient between empirical modal components and prepro-cessed noise signal is shown in Table 4

From Table 4 it can be seen that the maximum value ofthe empiricalmodal components is 08532Thus if the empir-ical modal components are less than 008532 it should beremoved Therefore F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 and F9 should beremovedThen the remaining F1 and F2 and the preprocessednoise signal are combined together to form a new signalgroup The RobustICA algorithm is utilised to extract the

53 Comparison Discussion When adopting the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method to separate the combustion noiseand piston slap noise the calculation results are shown inFigures 14 and 15 The frequencies of combustion noise andpiston slap noise are concentrated at 4025Hz and 1725Hzrespectively When utilising the EWT-RobustICA methodthe separated combustion noise and piston slap noise areshown in Figures 21 and 22 Comparing Figure 14 withFigure 21 it can be seen that there are many other frequencycomponents except for the 4025Hz components in Figure 21Comparing Figure 15 with Figure 22 it can be seen thatthere are many other frequency components except for the1725Hz components in Figure 22 Moreover from Figure 17the IC9 spectrum is consistent with the piston slap vibra-tion spectrum while in Figure 23 the IC2 spectrum hassome difference with the piston slap vibration spectrumTherefore compared with the EWT-RobustICA method theGammatone-RobustICAmethod can get more pure combus-tion noise and piston slap noiseTheGammatone-RobustICAmethod has a better separation and identification effect thanthe EWT-RobustICA method

6 Conclusions

(1) In the aspect of the internal combustion engine test thelead covering method is adopted to wrap the numbers 1ndash5cylinders and only the number 6 cylinder parts are exposedIt can effectively insulate the interference noise from thenumbers 1ndash5 cylinders Thus it is conducive to separating

and identifying the noise sources of the specified number 6cylinder

(2) Inspired by the human auditory system the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method is proposed to separate and iden-tify the combustion noise and the piston slap noise Com-pared with the EWT-RobustICA method the proposedGammatone-RobustICA method has a better separationeffect The separation results obtained by the Gammatone-RobustICA method have very fewer other interference com-ponents

to measure the piston slap vibration when the internal com-bustion engine is in drag conditionThe specific arrangementof measuring point is shown in Figure 9

In the test the highest frequency of the internal combus-tion engine radiated noise is below 8000Hz According tothe sampling theorem the sampling frequency is greater thantwice the highest frequency of the analysed signals Thus thesampling frequency can be set to 256 kHz

The number 6 cylinder is set as the research objectWhen the internal combustion engine is in 2100 rpm and no-load condition the cylinder pressure signals (1199011) cylinderhead vibration acceleration signals (119886) and the cylinder bodyside near-field radiated noise signals (1199012) are measured It isshown in Figure 10

5 Separation and Identification ofthe Near-Field Radiated Noise

In this part the Gammatone-RobustICA method and theEWT-RobustICA method are respectively used to separateand identify the noise sources of the cylinder body side near-field radiated noise

In the process of the noise and vibration test the mea-sured noise signalmay have random error components whichwill affect the subsequent calculation results In order toreduce the random error components the pretreatment suchas eliminate trend items and slip average is carried out onthe measured noise signal The preprocessed noise signal isshown in Figure 11

51 Gammatone-RobustICA Method When the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method is utilised to separate and identifythe noise source of the internal combustion engine the firststep is to design an appropriate Gammatone filter bank toextract various mode components of the preprocessed noisesignal It is necessary to predefine the two important param-eters of the Gammatone filter bank the center frequencyrange and the number of channels For the center frequencyrange on the one hand the frequency range of humanaudible sounds is 20Hzndash20 kHz On the other hand thefrequency range of the internal combustion engine radiatednoise is usually below 8000Hz Thus the center frequencyof the Gammatone filter bank is set to 20Hzndash8000Hz Forthe number of channels of the Gammatone filter bank onthe one hand considering the calculation accuracy and thecomputing costs the higher the number of channels is thehigher the accuracy of the calculation is and the higher thecost of the computation is thus the number of channels ofthe Gammatone filter bank should not be too much On theother hand according to the related knowledge of internalcombustion engine the noise sources of internal combustionengine are combustion noise piston slap noise air valveknock noise gear meshing noise fuel injection pump noiseand so forth After considering these factors the number ofchannels of the Gammatone filter bank is set to 11

By the Gammatone filter bank the mode componentsfrom the preprocessed noise signal can be obtained Thedecomposition results are shown in Figure 12

In order to improve the efficiency of the calculation themode components with large correlation with the prepro-cessed noise signal need to be selected to carry out the nextstep calculation

Suppose the correlation coefficient between the modecomponents and the preprocessed noise signal is 119903119894 (119894 =1 2 119899) 119899 is the number of the mode componentsCorrelation coefficient 119903 is defined as follows

119903119883119884 =cov (119883 119884)

radic119863 (119883)radic119863 (119884) (7)

where 119883 represents the source signal 119884 represents the sepa-ration component cov(119883 119884) represents the covariance of 119883and 119884 119863(119883) and 119863(119884) represent the variance of 119883 and 119884respectively

According to Pearson correlation coefficient theory [34]the correlation coefficient is in the range of minus1 to +1 If thecorrelation coefficient is greater than zero there is a positivecorrelation between the two variables On the contrarythere is a negative correlation In general if the correlationcoefficient is greater than 03 the two variables are correlated

Figure 12 Decomposition results by the Gammatone filter bank

In order to select the mode components the threshold 120582is set to determine whether the mode component is retainedor not But the internal combustion engine has many noisesources and there are many noise disturbances in the mea-surement process Thus if the threshold of the correlationcoefficient is set to 03 the selected mode components will beless and the separated independent noise source informationwill not be sufficient In order to obtain more sufficientindependent noise source information in the actual study thethreshold of the correlation coefficient needs to be set smallerHere the threshold of the correlation coefficient is defined asfollows

120582 =max (119903119894)

120578 119894 = 1 2 119899 (8)

where 120578 is the ratio factor and 120578 is set to 100The calculation results of the correlation coefficient

between the mode components and the preprocessed noisesignal are shown in Table 3

From Table 3 it can be seen that the maximum correla-tion coefficient is 01256 Thus if the correlation coefficientis more than 001256 it should be retained On the contraryif the correlation coefficient is less than 001256 it should betaken out Through analysing it can be determined that m2m3m4m5m6m7m9 andm11 should be retained andm1m8 andm10 should be taken out

Due to the fact that the retained mode components arenot always independent of each other the RobustICA algo-rithm needs to be used to extract the independent compo-nents The retained mode components and the preprocessed

noise signal are combined together to form a new signalgroupThen the RobustICA algorithm is employed to extractthe independent components The calculation results areshown in Figure 13

According to the relevant knowledge of internal combus-tion engine the fuel combustion in the cylinder can causedrastic pressure change in the cylinder and it caused the com-bustion noise Thus the combustion noise is high frequencysignal Through analysing the nine components the IC6 isthe high frequency signalThus it can be preliminarily judgedthat the IC6 component is the combustion noise

Shock and Vibration 9

The mechanical noise of internal combustion engine isusually below 3500Hz [35] Through analysing the Robus-tICA calculation results the frequency of IC9 is below3500Hz Thus it can be preliminarily judged that the IC9component is the piston slap noise

Apart from IC6 and IC9 as for the rest 7 componentsthey may be the air valve knock noise gear meshing noisefuel injection pump noise or other noise sources Ideally allthe noise sources of the internal combustion engine should beseparated and identified However since the noise sources areseriously mixed with each other it is difficult to separate andidentify all the noise sources and they need further researchFor example the air valve knock noise is mainly caused bythe impact of valve opening and closing and timing of valveopening and closing can be determined according to thetiming of inlet and exhaust of internal combustion engineMoreover through arranging the vibration sensor and theacoustic sensor near the valve and combining the timing ofvalve opening and closing the air valve knock noise can befurther studied The gear meshing noise is generated by thecollision and friction between teeth during the gear meshingprocess Every turn of the gear can produce the collisionand friction thus the gear meshing noise can be furtherstudied The fuel injection pump noise is mainly caused bythe oil pressure change during the oil spraying process Thefuel injection pump noise can be studied through oil injec-tion pressure and burning time of internal combustion en-gine

Considering that combustion noise and piston slap noiseare the main noise sources of internal combustion enginethus the paper is mainly on the separation and identificationof combustion noise and piston slap noise

TheFFT (Fast Fourier Transform) andCWT(ContinuousWavelet Transform) are combined to further identify the sep-aration results The calculation results are shown in Figures14 and 15 The correlation function of cylinder pressure andcylinder head vibration is shown in Figure 16

From Figure 14 it can be seen that the frequency ofIC6 component focuses on 4025Hz and the time domainwaveform of IC6 component has great change at 390∘CAFrom Figure 14(c) the frequency energy is large aroundthe 390∘CA and it is mainly concentrated around 4000HzAccording to the prior knowledge of the internal combustionengine the ignition sequence of the internal combustionengine is 1-5-3-6-2-4 The ignition angle of the number 6cylinder is around 390∘CA Due to the fact that the number1ndash5 cylinders are covered by lead the frequency energyof the number 6 cylinder is bigger than the number 1ndash5cylinders Moreover from Figure 16 cylinder pressure andcylinder head vibration have a good correlationnear 4000HzThe combustion noise is mainly caused by the change ofcylinder pressure Near 4000Hz themain information aboutcombustion noise is includedThus it can be determined thatthe IC6 component is the combustion noise

From Figure 15 it can be seen that the frequency of IC9component focuses on 1725Hz Combined with Figure 16the correlation function of cylinder pressure and cylinderhead vibration is not good near 1725Hz From Figure 15(c)the frequency energy is huge around the 390∘CA It is

to decompose the preprocessed noise signal The calculationresults are shown in Figure 19

After the preprocessed noise signal is decomposed bythe EWT algorithm empirical modal components can beobtained But it may have some false empirical modal com-ponents Thus it is necessary to remove the false empir-ical modal components Hence the correlation coefficientbetween empirical modal components and preprocessednoise signal is utilised to determine whether the empiricalmodal component is removed or not The correlation coef-ficient between empirical modal components and prepro-cessed noise signal is shown in Table 4

From Table 4 it can be seen that the maximum value ofthe empiricalmodal components is 08532Thus if the empir-ical modal components are less than 008532 it should beremoved Therefore F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 and F9 should beremovedThen the remaining F1 and F2 and the preprocessednoise signal are combined together to form a new signalgroup The RobustICA algorithm is utilised to extract the

53 Comparison Discussion When adopting the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method to separate the combustion noiseand piston slap noise the calculation results are shown inFigures 14 and 15 The frequencies of combustion noise andpiston slap noise are concentrated at 4025Hz and 1725Hzrespectively When utilising the EWT-RobustICA methodthe separated combustion noise and piston slap noise areshown in Figures 21 and 22 Comparing Figure 14 withFigure 21 it can be seen that there are many other frequencycomponents except for the 4025Hz components in Figure 21Comparing Figure 15 with Figure 22 it can be seen thatthere are many other frequency components except for the1725Hz components in Figure 22 Moreover from Figure 17the IC9 spectrum is consistent with the piston slap vibra-tion spectrum while in Figure 23 the IC2 spectrum hassome difference with the piston slap vibration spectrumTherefore compared with the EWT-RobustICA method theGammatone-RobustICAmethod can get more pure combus-tion noise and piston slap noiseTheGammatone-RobustICAmethod has a better separation and identification effect thanthe EWT-RobustICA method

6 Conclusions

(1) In the aspect of the internal combustion engine test thelead covering method is adopted to wrap the numbers 1ndash5cylinders and only the number 6 cylinder parts are exposedIt can effectively insulate the interference noise from thenumbers 1ndash5 cylinders Thus it is conducive to separating

Shock and Vibration 13

and identifying the noise sources of the specified number 6cylinder

(2) Inspired by the human auditory system the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method is proposed to separate and iden-tify the combustion noise and the piston slap noise Com-pared with the EWT-RobustICA method the proposedGammatone-RobustICA method has a better separationeffect The separation results obtained by the Gammatone-RobustICA method have very fewer other interference com-ponents

In order to select the mode components the threshold 120582is set to determine whether the mode component is retainedor not But the internal combustion engine has many noisesources and there are many noise disturbances in the mea-surement process Thus if the threshold of the correlationcoefficient is set to 03 the selected mode components will beless and the separated independent noise source informationwill not be sufficient In order to obtain more sufficientindependent noise source information in the actual study thethreshold of the correlation coefficient needs to be set smallerHere the threshold of the correlation coefficient is defined asfollows

120582 =max (119903119894)

120578 119894 = 1 2 119899 (8)

where 120578 is the ratio factor and 120578 is set to 100The calculation results of the correlation coefficient

between the mode components and the preprocessed noisesignal are shown in Table 3

From Table 3 it can be seen that the maximum correla-tion coefficient is 01256 Thus if the correlation coefficientis more than 001256 it should be retained On the contraryif the correlation coefficient is less than 001256 it should betaken out Through analysing it can be determined that m2m3m4m5m6m7m9 andm11 should be retained andm1m8 andm10 should be taken out

Due to the fact that the retained mode components arenot always independent of each other the RobustICA algo-rithm needs to be used to extract the independent compo-nents The retained mode components and the preprocessed

According to the relevant knowledge of internal combus-tion engine the fuel combustion in the cylinder can causedrastic pressure change in the cylinder and it caused the com-bustion noise Thus the combustion noise is high frequencysignal Through analysing the nine components the IC6 isthe high frequency signalThus it can be preliminarily judgedthat the IC6 component is the combustion noise

Shock and Vibration 9

The mechanical noise of internal combustion engine isusually below 3500Hz [35] Through analysing the Robus-tICA calculation results the frequency of IC9 is below3500Hz Thus it can be preliminarily judged that the IC9component is the piston slap noise

Apart from IC6 and IC9 as for the rest 7 componentsthey may be the air valve knock noise gear meshing noisefuel injection pump noise or other noise sources Ideally allthe noise sources of the internal combustion engine should beseparated and identified However since the noise sources areseriously mixed with each other it is difficult to separate andidentify all the noise sources and they need further researchFor example the air valve knock noise is mainly caused bythe impact of valve opening and closing and timing of valveopening and closing can be determined according to thetiming of inlet and exhaust of internal combustion engineMoreover through arranging the vibration sensor and theacoustic sensor near the valve and combining the timing ofvalve opening and closing the air valve knock noise can befurther studied The gear meshing noise is generated by thecollision and friction between teeth during the gear meshingprocess Every turn of the gear can produce the collisionand friction thus the gear meshing noise can be furtherstudied The fuel injection pump noise is mainly caused bythe oil pressure change during the oil spraying process Thefuel injection pump noise can be studied through oil injec-tion pressure and burning time of internal combustion en-gine

Considering that combustion noise and piston slap noiseare the main noise sources of internal combustion enginethus the paper is mainly on the separation and identificationof combustion noise and piston slap noise

TheFFT (Fast Fourier Transform) andCWT(ContinuousWavelet Transform) are combined to further identify the sep-aration results The calculation results are shown in Figures14 and 15 The correlation function of cylinder pressure andcylinder head vibration is shown in Figure 16

From Figure 14 it can be seen that the frequency ofIC6 component focuses on 4025Hz and the time domainwaveform of IC6 component has great change at 390∘CAFrom Figure 14(c) the frequency energy is large aroundthe 390∘CA and it is mainly concentrated around 4000HzAccording to the prior knowledge of the internal combustionengine the ignition sequence of the internal combustionengine is 1-5-3-6-2-4 The ignition angle of the number 6cylinder is around 390∘CA Due to the fact that the number1ndash5 cylinders are covered by lead the frequency energyof the number 6 cylinder is bigger than the number 1ndash5cylinders Moreover from Figure 16 cylinder pressure andcylinder head vibration have a good correlationnear 4000HzThe combustion noise is mainly caused by the change ofcylinder pressure Near 4000Hz themain information aboutcombustion noise is includedThus it can be determined thatthe IC6 component is the combustion noise

From Figure 15 it can be seen that the frequency of IC9component focuses on 1725Hz Combined with Figure 16the correlation function of cylinder pressure and cylinderhead vibration is not good near 1725Hz From Figure 15(c)the frequency energy is huge around the 390∘CA It is

to decompose the preprocessed noise signal The calculationresults are shown in Figure 19

After the preprocessed noise signal is decomposed bythe EWT algorithm empirical modal components can beobtained But it may have some false empirical modal com-ponents Thus it is necessary to remove the false empir-ical modal components Hence the correlation coefficientbetween empirical modal components and preprocessednoise signal is utilised to determine whether the empiricalmodal component is removed or not The correlation coef-ficient between empirical modal components and prepro-cessed noise signal is shown in Table 4

From Table 4 it can be seen that the maximum value ofthe empiricalmodal components is 08532Thus if the empir-ical modal components are less than 008532 it should beremoved Therefore F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 and F9 should beremovedThen the remaining F1 and F2 and the preprocessednoise signal are combined together to form a new signalgroup The RobustICA algorithm is utilised to extract the

By analysing it can be preliminarily judged that theIC1 component and the IC2 component are the combustionnoise and the piston slap noise Then the FFT and CWT areutilised to further analyse the IC1 component and the IC2component The calculation results are shown in Figures 21and 22

53 Comparison Discussion When adopting the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method to separate the combustion noiseand piston slap noise the calculation results are shown inFigures 14 and 15 The frequencies of combustion noise andpiston slap noise are concentrated at 4025Hz and 1725Hzrespectively When utilising the EWT-RobustICA methodthe separated combustion noise and piston slap noise areshown in Figures 21 and 22 Comparing Figure 14 withFigure 21 it can be seen that there are many other frequencycomponents except for the 4025Hz components in Figure 21Comparing Figure 15 with Figure 22 it can be seen thatthere are many other frequency components except for the1725Hz components in Figure 22 Moreover from Figure 17the IC9 spectrum is consistent with the piston slap vibra-tion spectrum while in Figure 23 the IC2 spectrum hassome difference with the piston slap vibration spectrumTherefore compared with the EWT-RobustICA method theGammatone-RobustICAmethod can get more pure combus-tion noise and piston slap noiseTheGammatone-RobustICAmethod has a better separation and identification effect thanthe EWT-RobustICA method

6 Conclusions

(1) In the aspect of the internal combustion engine test thelead covering method is adopted to wrap the numbers 1ndash5cylinders and only the number 6 cylinder parts are exposedIt can effectively insulate the interference noise from thenumbers 1ndash5 cylinders Thus it is conducive to separating

Shock and Vibration 13

and identifying the noise sources of the specified number 6cylinder

(2) Inspired by the human auditory system the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method is proposed to separate and iden-tify the combustion noise and the piston slap noise Com-pared with the EWT-RobustICA method the proposedGammatone-RobustICA method has a better separationeffect The separation results obtained by the Gammatone-RobustICA method have very fewer other interference com-ponents

Page 9: Radiation Noise Separation of Internal Combustion Engine

Shock and Vibration 9

The mechanical noise of internal combustion engine isusually below 3500Hz [35] Through analysing the Robus-tICA calculation results the frequency of IC9 is below3500Hz Thus it can be preliminarily judged that the IC9component is the piston slap noise

Apart from IC6 and IC9 as for the rest 7 componentsthey may be the air valve knock noise gear meshing noisefuel injection pump noise or other noise sources Ideally allthe noise sources of the internal combustion engine should beseparated and identified However since the noise sources areseriously mixed with each other it is difficult to separate andidentify all the noise sources and they need further researchFor example the air valve knock noise is mainly caused bythe impact of valve opening and closing and timing of valveopening and closing can be determined according to thetiming of inlet and exhaust of internal combustion engineMoreover through arranging the vibration sensor and theacoustic sensor near the valve and combining the timing ofvalve opening and closing the air valve knock noise can befurther studied The gear meshing noise is generated by thecollision and friction between teeth during the gear meshingprocess Every turn of the gear can produce the collisionand friction thus the gear meshing noise can be furtherstudied The fuel injection pump noise is mainly caused bythe oil pressure change during the oil spraying process Thefuel injection pump noise can be studied through oil injec-tion pressure and burning time of internal combustion en-gine

Considering that combustion noise and piston slap noiseare the main noise sources of internal combustion enginethus the paper is mainly on the separation and identificationof combustion noise and piston slap noise

TheFFT (Fast Fourier Transform) andCWT(ContinuousWavelet Transform) are combined to further identify the sep-aration results The calculation results are shown in Figures14 and 15 The correlation function of cylinder pressure andcylinder head vibration is shown in Figure 16

From Figure 14 it can be seen that the frequency ofIC6 component focuses on 4025Hz and the time domainwaveform of IC6 component has great change at 390∘CAFrom Figure 14(c) the frequency energy is large aroundthe 390∘CA and it is mainly concentrated around 4000HzAccording to the prior knowledge of the internal combustionengine the ignition sequence of the internal combustionengine is 1-5-3-6-2-4 The ignition angle of the number 6cylinder is around 390∘CA Due to the fact that the number1ndash5 cylinders are covered by lead the frequency energyof the number 6 cylinder is bigger than the number 1ndash5cylinders Moreover from Figure 16 cylinder pressure andcylinder head vibration have a good correlationnear 4000HzThe combustion noise is mainly caused by the change ofcylinder pressure Near 4000Hz themain information aboutcombustion noise is includedThus it can be determined thatthe IC6 component is the combustion noise

From Figure 15 it can be seen that the frequency of IC9component focuses on 1725Hz Combined with Figure 16the correlation function of cylinder pressure and cylinderhead vibration is not good near 1725Hz From Figure 15(c)the frequency energy is huge around the 390∘CA It is

to decompose the preprocessed noise signal The calculationresults are shown in Figure 19

After the preprocessed noise signal is decomposed bythe EWT algorithm empirical modal components can beobtained But it may have some false empirical modal com-ponents Thus it is necessary to remove the false empir-ical modal components Hence the correlation coefficientbetween empirical modal components and preprocessednoise signal is utilised to determine whether the empiricalmodal component is removed or not The correlation coef-ficient between empirical modal components and prepro-cessed noise signal is shown in Table 4

From Table 4 it can be seen that the maximum value ofthe empiricalmodal components is 08532Thus if the empir-ical modal components are less than 008532 it should beremoved Therefore F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 and F9 should beremovedThen the remaining F1 and F2 and the preprocessednoise signal are combined together to form a new signalgroup The RobustICA algorithm is utilised to extract the

By analysing it can be preliminarily judged that theIC1 component and the IC2 component are the combustionnoise and the piston slap noise Then the FFT and CWT areutilised to further analyse the IC1 component and the IC2component The calculation results are shown in Figures 21and 22

From Figure 21 it can be seen that the amplitude ofIC1 component has great change around 390∘CA and theignition sequence of the number 6 cylinder is at 390∘CAThefrequency range of the IC1 component is concentrated around4000Hzndash6700Hz Combined with Figure 16 the correlationfunction of cylinder pressure and cylinder head vibration isgood at 4000Hzndash5000Hz but the correlation function is notgood at 5000Hzndash6700HzThus it can be considered that theIC1 component is mainly the combustion noise However it

53 Comparison Discussion When adopting the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method to separate the combustion noiseand piston slap noise the calculation results are shown inFigures 14 and 15 The frequencies of combustion noise andpiston slap noise are concentrated at 4025Hz and 1725Hzrespectively When utilising the EWT-RobustICA methodthe separated combustion noise and piston slap noise areshown in Figures 21 and 22 Comparing Figure 14 withFigure 21 it can be seen that there are many other frequencycomponents except for the 4025Hz components in Figure 21Comparing Figure 15 with Figure 22 it can be seen thatthere are many other frequency components except for the1725Hz components in Figure 22 Moreover from Figure 17the IC9 spectrum is consistent with the piston slap vibra-tion spectrum while in Figure 23 the IC2 spectrum hassome difference with the piston slap vibration spectrumTherefore compared with the EWT-RobustICA method theGammatone-RobustICAmethod can get more pure combus-tion noise and piston slap noiseTheGammatone-RobustICAmethod has a better separation and identification effect thanthe EWT-RobustICA method

6 Conclusions

(1) In the aspect of the internal combustion engine test thelead covering method is adopted to wrap the numbers 1ndash5cylinders and only the number 6 cylinder parts are exposedIt can effectively insulate the interference noise from thenumbers 1ndash5 cylinders Thus it is conducive to separating

Shock and Vibration 13

and identifying the noise sources of the specified number 6cylinder

(2) Inspired by the human auditory system the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method is proposed to separate and iden-tify the combustion noise and the piston slap noise Com-pared with the EWT-RobustICA method the proposedGammatone-RobustICA method has a better separationeffect The separation results obtained by the Gammatone-RobustICA method have very fewer other interference com-ponents

to decompose the preprocessed noise signal The calculationresults are shown in Figure 19

After the preprocessed noise signal is decomposed bythe EWT algorithm empirical modal components can beobtained But it may have some false empirical modal com-ponents Thus it is necessary to remove the false empir-ical modal components Hence the correlation coefficientbetween empirical modal components and preprocessednoise signal is utilised to determine whether the empiricalmodal component is removed or not The correlation coef-ficient between empirical modal components and prepro-cessed noise signal is shown in Table 4

From Table 4 it can be seen that the maximum value ofthe empiricalmodal components is 08532Thus if the empir-ical modal components are less than 008532 it should beremoved Therefore F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 and F9 should beremovedThen the remaining F1 and F2 and the preprocessednoise signal are combined together to form a new signalgroup The RobustICA algorithm is utilised to extract the

By analysing it can be preliminarily judged that theIC1 component and the IC2 component are the combustionnoise and the piston slap noise Then the FFT and CWT areutilised to further analyse the IC1 component and the IC2component The calculation results are shown in Figures 21and 22

From Figure 21 it can be seen that the amplitude ofIC1 component has great change around 390∘CA and theignition sequence of the number 6 cylinder is at 390∘CAThefrequency range of the IC1 component is concentrated around4000Hzndash6700Hz Combined with Figure 16 the correlationfunction of cylinder pressure and cylinder head vibration isgood at 4000Hzndash5000Hz but the correlation function is notgood at 5000Hzndash6700HzThus it can be considered that theIC1 component is mainly the combustion noise However it

53 Comparison Discussion When adopting the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method to separate the combustion noiseand piston slap noise the calculation results are shown inFigures 14 and 15 The frequencies of combustion noise andpiston slap noise are concentrated at 4025Hz and 1725Hzrespectively When utilising the EWT-RobustICA methodthe separated combustion noise and piston slap noise areshown in Figures 21 and 22 Comparing Figure 14 withFigure 21 it can be seen that there are many other frequencycomponents except for the 4025Hz components in Figure 21Comparing Figure 15 with Figure 22 it can be seen thatthere are many other frequency components except for the1725Hz components in Figure 22 Moreover from Figure 17the IC9 spectrum is consistent with the piston slap vibra-tion spectrum while in Figure 23 the IC2 spectrum hassome difference with the piston slap vibration spectrumTherefore compared with the EWT-RobustICA method theGammatone-RobustICAmethod can get more pure combus-tion noise and piston slap noiseTheGammatone-RobustICAmethod has a better separation and identification effect thanthe EWT-RobustICA method

6 Conclusions

(1) In the aspect of the internal combustion engine test thelead covering method is adopted to wrap the numbers 1ndash5cylinders and only the number 6 cylinder parts are exposedIt can effectively insulate the interference noise from thenumbers 1ndash5 cylinders Thus it is conducive to separating

and identifying the noise sources of the specified number 6cylinder

(2) Inspired by the human auditory system the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method is proposed to separate and iden-tify the combustion noise and the piston slap noise Com-pared with the EWT-RobustICA method the proposedGammatone-RobustICA method has a better separationeffect The separation results obtained by the Gammatone-RobustICA method have very fewer other interference com-ponents

53 Comparison Discussion When adopting the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method to separate the combustion noiseand piston slap noise the calculation results are shown inFigures 14 and 15 The frequencies of combustion noise andpiston slap noise are concentrated at 4025Hz and 1725Hzrespectively When utilising the EWT-RobustICA methodthe separated combustion noise and piston slap noise areshown in Figures 21 and 22 Comparing Figure 14 withFigure 21 it can be seen that there are many other frequencycomponents except for the 4025Hz components in Figure 21Comparing Figure 15 with Figure 22 it can be seen thatthere are many other frequency components except for the1725Hz components in Figure 22 Moreover from Figure 17the IC9 spectrum is consistent with the piston slap vibra-tion spectrum while in Figure 23 the IC2 spectrum hassome difference with the piston slap vibration spectrumTherefore compared with the EWT-RobustICA method theGammatone-RobustICAmethod can get more pure combus-tion noise and piston slap noiseTheGammatone-RobustICAmethod has a better separation and identification effect thanthe EWT-RobustICA method

6 Conclusions

(1) In the aspect of the internal combustion engine test thelead covering method is adopted to wrap the numbers 1ndash5cylinders and only the number 6 cylinder parts are exposedIt can effectively insulate the interference noise from thenumbers 1ndash5 cylinders Thus it is conducive to separating

Shock and Vibration 13

and identifying the noise sources of the specified number 6cylinder

(2) Inspired by the human auditory system the Gamma-tone-RobustICA method is proposed to separate and iden-tify the combustion noise and the piston slap noise Com-pared with the EWT-RobustICA method the proposedGammatone-RobustICA method has a better separationeffect The separation results obtained by the Gammatone-RobustICA method have very fewer other interference com-ponents
