Abstract

Transient acoustic field can be rebuilt directly in the time-domain via the interpolated time-domain equivalent source method (ITDESM). However, this method requires that the reconstruction should be addressed in the free-field only, which can hardly be met in the engineering noise problems. To circumvent this difficulty, an extended ITDESM procedure is developed by extending the ITDESM from the free-field to the semi-free-field. In this approach, the time-domain equivalent sources are placed not only near the actual sound sources but also around their image sources with respect to the planar reflecting surface. The solving procedure of the equivalent source strengths is improved to decrease the computing load. The reflection conditions treated here can be arbitrary, i.e. both perfectly rigid and impedance-effected. Reconstruction results of the transient sound field radiated from three monopoles under different reflection conditions demonstrate the validity and applicability of the proposed method.
