R&D Experience

Mei Wu has been in charge of the following research and development projects:

• Passive silencer insertion loss enhancement - Mei Wu developed equations to calculate the sound attenuation along rectangular silencers and conducted tests to verify the accuracy of the equations. Exceptionally high insertion losses were achieved at low frequencies by matching the acoustical impedance of the lining material with the frequency parameters of a silencer.
• No-media silencer development - Mei Wu developed a micro-perforation silencer product line for a silencer manufacturer. She developed equations for silencer performance prediction, designed prototype silencers using these equations, tested the silencers, made modifications to perfect the designs, finalized the designs, and generated catalogue data.
• Active noise cancellation for small axial fans - Mei Wu designed an active noise cancellation system for a small cooling fan on a simulated office equipment. Test results showed that the system generated a clearly audible global noise reduction at the fan blade passing frequency.
• Active noise cancellation for HVAC duct systems - She designed a demonstration system for HVAC system noise cancellation. The system simulated a simple HVAC system including a fan, sheet metal ducts, and an elbow. Significant noise reductions were achieved at special tones.
• Sound intensity measurement techniques and test error analysis - She is one of the first persons successfully conducted sound power measurements using intensity techniques over 20 years ago in China with very limited computing power. She later studied test errors of sound intensity measurement techniques.
• Machinery noise source and transmission path identification - This is the work Mei Wu did for her Ph.D. degree. A modified of cepstrum algorithm was developed. It was used to determine the frequency response function of structures without any pre-knowledge of input signals. Computer simulated experiments and vibration experiments were conducted. The test results showed that frequency response functions recovered by the modified cepstrum technique converge to the actual response functions.

In addition to the above major R&D projects, Mei Wu has also worked on acoustical panel design, diesel engine exhaust noise control, large workshop noise modeling, environmental noise modeling, and finite element and boundary element modeling.
